Well, lesse... your initial attack on Patrick today was most likely the result of your inability to understand what he said. It wasn't all that complicated, really, but listen, it was not aimed any anyone in particular, so your reaciton was obviously based in something, not his post. Your reaction was completely off the wall and uncalled for... and then you escalated it... looks like you came here to pick up a fight.This forum is for expressing opinions on films, not people. If you don't like someone's opinion - don't read his posts... what's what I do to some here and elsewhere.
Any film thrown here for discussion is a fair game. If we can't openly express our opinions - however strong - on something as silly as films then perhaps we should simply stay locked in our rooms.
It is silly to feel personal about a film you like. When someone says the film I like is crap I just shrug my shoulders, I do not consider it condescending at all.
There are people here who respect Patrick's opinion, and knowing him and his track record, he needs not say much. To me, for instance, just his brief go-no go is usually enough. If you want someone write longer essay's than they do I say that is tough, people write what they feel, not what you want them to write. If you want to write a long one by all means do so.
As far as the completely idiotic and frankly scummy sttacks on his language skills, well, you didn't see it fit to interrupt and challenge them today, so I suggest you too have not shown yourself in the best possible light... surely it wasn't you who launched it, but you were present, obviously. In every country there will be cretins who cringe at accents of others and laugh at their mistakes, but fortunately those cretins are not the norm.
Has you challenged that cretin you would have more moral currency now.
