Please excuse the alternate moniker; I'm working from a new computer without e-mail up and running yet and the moniker registration safeguards are preventing my posting under Audiophilander.Now for the subject at hand:
>>> "I suggest that you forward your comments to to Mr. Alda and Mr. Redford and not to me. I feel they are more qualified to speak on that subject... -- They seem most proud of the views they express and have no problem talking about it. -- They are happy with it and proud of it...so why aren't you?" <<<
Mike, with all due respect it wasn't THEIR views, public or private, which concerned me here. YOUR political commentary is what was out of place as I see it. By expressing an opinion about their politics, whether some may feel it was an informed opinion or not, you were trying to elicit a favorable response from other like-minded Conservatives that had nothing to do with films or DVDs. You weren't really interested in the actor or his work, just dissing his politics in a manner that insulted anyone with a Liberal perspective.
IMHO, that sort of stuff belongs over in the Outside Asylum! FTR, personal opinions, including those expressed by actors, are discussed over there all the time. However, Outside isn't for the weakhearted; folks over ther give as good as they get and you won't be preaching to the choir.
