RIP Tom aka Mark

Thank you for looking out for the website and making it part of your job so that everyone here can have a good time without being offended. I don’t get offended by the Walmart Man personally but I know he gets under the skin of some people that post here.

j/k. I personally don’t find Walmart man’s schtick that funny. The first couple posts where we were supposed to believe that Warrington Gillette was working at Walmart and posting about himself at this site were funny, but after 5000 such posts it loses something. Not to mention Warrington is a trust fund kid who wanted to be on the silver screen and then wussed out the moment he had to jump through a sugar pane window. Actually, the real reason is that he realized his pretty face wasn’t going to be shown in the movie and decided it wasn’t worth it because he definitly didn’t need the money. So, there is no way he’s working at Walmart.

Anyway, Walmart Man’s joke about Life and Death on the A-list was misguided in that the “A-list” referred to has nothing to do with Hollywood, but with the gay scene. So, to call that A-list the AIDs list is extremely tastless and insensistive, regardless if you take Friday the 13th too seriously or not.

Anyways, Tom thanks for being part of the Friday franchise!

Dedicated discussions about a franchise they love is productive for fans. People spent they time discussing various aspects of the movies, theorize about things that weren´t onscreen, write fanfics etc. Those things are “productive” for fans. Sure, non-fans might call us nerds … but those people shouldn´t visit this place and leave us alone and follow their interests, in which they might be the nerds to us).

The issues I and others have with “Wal-mart Man” is that he is not here to discuss anything. He visits the website with the sole purpose to dog the movies and to mention Warrington Gillette and Kane Hodder to get a rise out of certain people. Have you ever seen him post a comment that discusses the topic at hand? It doesn’t happen. Now, I know that some of you like his comedy. That’s fine. But I and others that help with this website have to deal with the backlash that is caused by the type of comments that he makes.

There is good number of comments that are made that the readers never see as it would cause a huge problem. I want everyone to have fun when they come here and enjoy discussing the franchise. When visitors like “Wal-mart Man” visit, they are here to cause chaos and inflate an ego. Some of you may not agree with my views, but his comment made about the title of Tom McBride’s film is just the tip of the iceberg with that guy. I have been watching his posts for a long time and trust me when I tell everyone, he is more trouble than you know.

The comment about Tom McBride’s documentary pushes the envelope a little but, then again, he only pointed out something about the title and nothing about McBride himself. It’s his usual Warrington Gillette bit (which I think is pretty funny anyway) if you read the post again.

I would also be the first one to say that its an oxymoron to say that the Walmart Man doesn’t say things that are “productive” about the F13 movies. There really isn’t anything productive about commenting on a site focused on the F13 franchise to start with. Its just because fans get enjoyment out of talking about it when there are a million other things we could be doing with our time. 99% of those things are probably more productive than posting here…but we do it because we are fans.
