We imagine that $120 million was all the validation X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner needed for his superhumanly hacky vision, so a trip to the ongoing flame wars raging on his official messages board probably haven't shaken his faith in his work. And it's not like Ratner doesn't have defenders on his home turf—as you can see in the subject list, a fan (sadly, not CLove1000 ) declares that "All the anal retentive sexless Ratner haters can go to hell!", a sentiment which nicely balances the regrettably violent "I Want To Punch You In The Face" and the sodomy-flavored "You bent X-Men over...", two threads initiated after Ratner himself somewhat prematurely thanked his online community for "how supportive everyone has been."
