Actually, what is most distressing about this argument is your ability to abandon previously championed principles when discussing something you don’t like.
No, I stated my opinion as opinion, conceded that my statments could have been too harshly spoken, and backed up my opinion with evidence from the text. I didn’t state my opinion as objective fact and didn’t attack anyone else’s opinion. As opposed to *you*, who, in the previous posts you are referring to, made unqualified one-sentence statements about your opinion with no examples or reasons given (made with no intent of engendering discussion or debate), made unqualified assumptions about whether or not Salter Street had “sold out,” stated that you were revealing an “unspoken truth” and, essentially stated that your opinion was the only one that mattered. I don’t care if others get enjoyment out of [i]Attack of the Clones,[/i] I didn’t say anything to Slopmaster or Flamegrape regarding their positive opinions of the film, and I certainly didn’t lazily copy-and-paste someone else’s words as the only support for my opinion, as some might have done (hint, hint). My argument with Squish is not about whether or not either’s opinion is right or wrong — my argument with Squish is about his statements that acting and dialogue aren’t important in movies. I couldn’t care less if Squish thought that [i]Attack of the Clones[/i] was the best film since [i]Citizen Kane,[/i] it’s his opinion and he’s welcome to it. It’s *his* attacking of the reasons why *I* hold *my* opinion that I object to. He’s not debating that I’m *wrong* in my assessment of the acting and dialogue of the movie in question, he’s debating that I’m wrong to *look* at the acting and dialoge. We’re not debating the *response* to the movie, we’re debating the *act of watching* the movie. Get your story straight.
The rest of your post is rendered irrelevant since it’s based on a flawed and unsupported claim.

No problem. Tell me, is this going to lead to another teasing promise of your leaving, or what? Seems to be the pattern of your postings. Or, alternately, when is someone going to ban your sh!t-disturbing self from the board?
