And then I realised: Everyone was on my side against Beeblebrox. Everyone. Even if I was wrong. He was just unlikeable. You are a smart poster - intelligent, articulate, witty... But you run the risk of alienating an entire community with your refusal to concede that your point of view is, while valid, a minority opinion. (In the Rob Zombie thread, at least) Stand up for what you believe in - I do. But recognise that if one person says you are being obtuse, they are not worth your time; if the majority do, then you need to think: Is it worth keeping this up? Your opinion can never be wrong, but it can be disregarded. Accept it. Happens to us all. Roy L Dennis made a comment in another thread that had nothing to do with what we are talking about. I have been here 6 and half years and anyone could cite old posts of mine as "evidence" of a contradictory attitude. There is a list in the best/worst/favourite forum of a dozen films in my top 100 that I would not even consider owning now. We move on. Move on. Your arguments no longer speak of ethics, but of arrogance. Don't be anyone's bitch, but don't make posts simply because you think you are 'losing face' either. LordSimen, my friend, your posts are starting to cause antipathy on the boards. The rule of thumb: If BubbaStrangelove tries to mediate, you should listen. P.S. I have some kind of illness which I caught in Spain three weeks ago. I thought it was the flu, but it's not, so if my post seems out of character, forgive me, I'm very tired. |
