I really hope none of you are personaly offended by anything we've said on the Docs. Its all one big joke guys. We find it hillarious. We take none of it seriously and its not our fault if you take it seriously. If you take it seriously then you have our humblest apologies, but don't think for a moment that I'm going to let a couple people who insist on making this difficult, ruin MY good time and fun. Not for one moment.
Yay! Thanks for bringing me into conversation I'm not a part of.
Man, someone reading your post they might think that I may have said some or all of those things. Then they would be like, "Yeah, Fuck those guys! They are offended by the docs!?! What uptight losers!"
Can I please speak for myself for a moment?
I have never said one bad thing about the docs. Never. Not a sentence, not a word. Not a syllable.
All I said was that I didn't want to be a part of it. Thats it. I would never want to ruin anyones fun. I just don't to be a part of it.
Unless I missed something, the only problem that any member of More Than Toast expressed about any doc is that the fact that we were in one when we asked not to be.
As Machine said in this very thread, he included us when he knew we didn't want to be. He apologizes, and it wont happen again. So all is good. Except...

But I'm sure I'll still get him on camera....
Its impossible to know if you are joking when you say things like that. Statements like that, in conjunction with the fact that people know you included us against our will, makes them apprehensive.
Its a pretty valid concern if you ask me.
Being on camera might not be a big deal to you, but it is to some. It doesn't matter what the reason is. For some people, at least, it has NOTHING to do with the content of the Docs. It has to do with not wanting to be on camera.

Did you just plead with people who don't care about the documentaries to not ruin the documentaries? Now, thats funny.
With an opportunity such as AWA to meet all of the tallented AMV creators out there, it would have been a crying shame if there was no place to hang out and actualy meet each others.
I can understand people not wanting to get slammed in a doc but asking Carlos to shoot around people because they are too high and mighty to be associated with something they feel is "childish and immature" seems really pompous to me. If you don't wanna be in the doc, stay away from the camera, I'm sure Carlos won't be seeking out unwilling particapants out of spite. What does he have to gain from causing that much real life tension and making the con uncomfortable for people. Anyway, I really hope to meet alot of you guys and have a good time despite your objections to our docs.
