Give me a break.

After careful consideration, I have decided to decline your request.

"Whatever happened to the left's mantra, "If you don't like it, don't watch?" That doesn't impugn the woman's character, nor define her politics.

It certainly appears to presume her to be from "the left". If that was not the case, I'd appreciate clarification on how it doesn't.

And I certainly don't need a nanny policing my posts.

You're obviously mistaking me for the moderators. That's *their* job, not mine. Stating my opinion on your post and others in this thread is hardly "policing" them, nor being a "nanny". You stated your opinion, I stated mine.

That said, however, yours was admittedly one of the more mild comments. I included it not because it was offensive (as some of the others were), but because it was one of the many which seemed to automatically presume that any form of criticism towards Gibson or the film must "obviously" be from "the left". You know what they say about assumptions.

By itself I'd never have bothered to reply to your post, or even really thought twice about it. But there was such a barrage of "leftist/socialist/communist" accusations on this thread that I found it remarkable enough to comment on.
