A different Stax than yours

Hi, folks. I'm Stax, the online script critic formerly of FlixBurg, USA and now with IGN FilmForce. I see that you have a poster here going by the same handle (I've been around the online film community since 1998) and, in case you didn't already know this, we are NOT the same fellow and are not connected in any way. I just needed to make this known since I've had a few people pull pranks at different BBs using the "Stax" handle and saying they were me. I'm NOT saying this particular poster's done anything like that so please don't misconstrue my meaning. I just needed to clear the air. Thanks for your time and keep having fun here at your BB. Any questions, my email is stax@ign.com

Don't worry

Actually this is a great opportunity for me to clear up something . I posted one of your reviews for Mission To Mars ( because Jerry O'Connell was in it ) but only realised later that someone with my handle wrote it . By the time somone pointed it out to me the post had been buried and I forgot about it . I didn't see a need to bring it up later since most people here know I'm still in school and live in Ireland and am not likely to be you.

BTW I began posting a long time ago before I knew you existed .stax

That's ironic

I went to school in Ireland while I lived there briefly as a child. Too weird. What part of Ireland are you in? I lived in County Kerry. BTW, one of my friends from college was good pals with Jerry O'Connell from NY. stax@ign.com

Did you keep the accent or learn any Irish there ? Kerry is smack in the middle of the Gaeltacht .stax

I learned a little Gaelic in school

... but have since forgotten it all, I'm afraid. My mother, however, is completely fluent and will start spouting off poems in Gaelic that she learned when she was like 5. My accent's pretty much a neutral American accent now; I don't even have much of my native New England accent left anymore.
