...when folks call other folk's personal tastes "kaka" because they don't like the success of a particular film it has a chilling effect on discussion. I'm neither prejudiced against foreign films nor against European inmates expressing their heartfelt opinions, but language can either be a barrier to communication or a tool dependent upon it's use. In retrospect, I'm pretty sure that Patrick regrets posting what he thought was a joke, but as far as I can tell no simple apology has been forthcoming, just a basic "Oooops! Did I miss my mark?" type of response. What's worse is the support (i.e., reinforcement) for this sort of bad behavior from Victor.Perhaps splitting the board is too much to ask, but I'd like to see less rancor and more discussion of relevent points from the art-house crowd about films many folks find impressive.
