my expectations were based on heuristics-- the repetition & exhaustion of summer blockbuster crap has prejudiced me negatively. it's a rule of thumb. everyone has rules of thumb, because we can't experiment everything. no need to rant about the rules of thumb i pick to live my life.



well i've attempted to read j.k. rawlings. i don't claim that her stories are boring or uninterestig, i simply can't stand her prose, which is indigestible to me. my 7-year old nephew however loves it and i applaud him for that.

about the movie, i've explained my rule of thumb-- i knew nothing in advance of this film except my rule of thumb. did it miss the mark? perhaps. did this make me a dumbass retard? i dont think so. in your eyes maybe, sure. but i don't have to share your view of the world.

everybody makes mistakes, and if everyone who makes mistakes is going to be a dumbass retard then we all are.



oh, how gracious of you. your words were so kind i must thank you for them.



did i ask that you kiss my ass? maybe you have issues, but please don't work them out with me.

and if i was being "retarded" the, you're being socially retarded now or wanting to shit on me for some stupid shit. yes. stupid shit. for this behavior i should call you a dumbass retard then. oh but i'll carefully compose my sentences so i don't "really" say it. would you like that?

on that note, what the fuck do you do when you make a mistake? you lock yourself in your basement and give yourself lashes? i shudder to think what your inner dialogue sounds like.



looked much at the mirror lately? maybe it's the part of yourself you like the least-- but really, find somebody else to be your punching bag.


you're missing the point. i can say whatever the fuck i want. i simply expect people i consider "friendly" to retort in a friendly manner when they want to point out i may be talking out of my ass. which i do often and can laugh about. my refusal to discuss this had little to do with my correct or incorrect expectations of summer blockbusters, and everything to do with what i perceived as luxinterior's unwarranted hostility towards me. if that's how she thinks i deserve to be treated, she act in whatever way she wants-- but i don't have to put up with it, do i?

I think you're missing my point, which is that I shouldn't have to change my reaction to what you wrote just because you happened to be the one writing it. It's not as if I'm going to carry some sort of grudge against you from now on. I mean, this is a pretty minor issue in the scheme of things. But I'm also not going to play nice when I don't feel like playing nice, just because I'm usually friendly with you. I feel like you're guilt-tripping me when I don't think my original reply was nearly as bad as you're making it out to be. Obviously I don't think you're a retard, but I also think that kind of goes without saying. I've said much worse to various people on the board and I don't think they took it as seriously as you are now. Outside of their individual threads it was all pretty much forgotten. For instance, I would say that I am on remarkable terms with swa(y) even though I can recall a few instances in which we've really torn into one another, for what I can't even remember. In your case, yes, I could have been nicer, and maybe I should have been nicer for a number of reasons, but to me a disagreement is a disagreement, no matter who it's with, and what you said ticked me off. I still disagree with you, even after the explanations (which I don't fully understand). So you can say whatever the fuck you want, but I can't? That's what it comes down to, really. I think I'm usually easy-going, and I have a decent enough inner censor, but even I get sick of playing that. And of course now you're projecting everything I said about you back onto me, as if I'm in some way confused. I'm not confused. This whole thing has been about your opinions (which I would have just ignored if they hadn't been unsupported, because I have plenty of friends who dislike certain books that I like and who would never want to sit through most of the movies I enjoy, and I couldn't care less about it). It was the way in which you gave your opinion that offended me, not the opinions themselves.
