I'm not saying that we can't disagree, but we can do so without being disagreeable. That's what so many have forgotten on FR here lately.
If you differ with the shrillest of the self-appointed Spanish Inquisition, you are summarily set upon and dragged through the mud until you either surrender to their will or depart for places unknown. It happened with the entire Schiavo mess (and no, I don't want to discuss it - she's dead, the matter is now history instead of news as far as I'm concerned, and too many people get too emotional to have any sort of rational conversation about it - don't even think about dragging me out to be burned at the stake), it happened to a lesser degree with the Pope, and it's happening now over Laura Bush.
Too many good people have been chased away by this kind of Spanish Inquisition-driven crusade. It truly needs to stop.
i agree 100% with you on that. that's why i never even posted on the Shiavo threads.... not once.
but it was my observation that the over the top critics on this Roast joke episode (one thread went on over a thousand posts) are guilty on both sides.. both sides.
i see many who attack the poster.. not even arguing why they dissagree. bad manners, bad form. those posters are marked by me, and i just ignore them. i don't agrue with fools.. ya know? thanks for your gentlemanly reply.
In all serousness, I would suggest to not sweat the small stuff. The show isnt for everyone.
