You show me where I flung personal insults at you or anyone else first. I believe you started with me by calling the group that didn't like Seabicky "pretentious snobs" I countered you by further explaining mu position on that movie and not being insulting. Then you posted "Troy,You sound like a bitter unhappy person". So who's getting personal first?
And here you just call me "disfunctional" without saying anything else. So who's getting personal first?
I give back what I get.
I have strong opinions. Some people don't like 'em. Tough. You, and anyone else, should have enough strength in your own convictions to not be hurt by my opinions to the point where you need to take it personally.
I won't stick to strictly constructive "happytalk" posts. You'll find I'm about 50/50. If I think something is bad, I will say so, regardless of popular opinion. You don't have to agree with me and would enjoy debating the merits of things we're both familiar with. But no, you just want to get personal.
Who'd want to be your friend, anyway?

  I spell it all out for you how you are the one getting so personal first and all you can do is say I'm "A sick person"?
  At least back up your argument.

  I do not agree with Troy's rationalization as far as not paying to see the movie, and I don't condone it. But I do absolutely consider him a friend. Even if he does have lousy taste in music.

    You like me, you really like me!
    The Ramones suck.
    I swear, I woulda never guessed sneaking into a theater (something I actually do quite rarely) would have pissed off so many people. It's not exactly like I'm stealing from a blind panhandler . . .

      In this neck of the woods we name streets after people who make music you don't like. Part of why I like it around here.
      > It's not exactly like I'm stealing from a blind panhandler . . .
      No, but it is stealing, or something like it. I do think it's more a case of stealing from the theater than the studio, but that doesn't make it right, either, ya weirdo.
      Seriously, I know it's hardly a huge crime, but you can make a much better rationalization for P2P downloading than you can for doing what you did. Which I don't have any interest in getting into, let's just say if I sneaked into a movie theater--never have--I probably wouldn't be as cavalier about it. But that's me. I'm not surprised that people reacted to the way you related the story. I don't think it's that big a deal, and I don't really care all that much, but I do see it as a small example of something that's wrong. I don't think anybody's getting from you that you see this. On some level you have to accept that if you're going to try to rationalize it, you should go about it in a different way if you don't want people to react with harsh judgments. One can go overboard & still not be wrong.
