The End

Point: Movies I comment to, I have seen on the big screen so I have indeed paid for a right to comment... in my opinion.
Point: My email add has not changed in many years so, I am not trying to sidestep anyone.
Point: You (or IMDb) will not get my phone number.
Point: If the lack of that number prevents my right to speak... then the conversation ends... here.

Thanks for the reply :)

Point 1:  Because you paid someone else, IMDb is obligated to post your comments???  Again, you didn't pay them, they owe you nothing in return.

Point 2:  I don't know the relevance. 

Point 3:  I've been coming here for 15 years and no one has ever asked my phone number...what's going on that you think they're asking you for it???

Point 4:  You have no "right" to speak in a private place.  If they decide to ask you for $1 million in order to post a comment, you either need to pay it or skip it.

That said, where are you seeing a requirement to give your phone number?  If you're being asked by Facebook to use a Facebook feature then you need to take it up with them.

Hmmm... okay. You win.

Point 4. I have no right to speak in a private place.

Correct. Using your approach, I hereby cancel my membership here and forbid IMDb from using my email address or any of my information.

I don't exist. I don't matter. 

I'm good.
