Sorry to get you ticked, Willie...because I really don't feel angry myself about anything. So if any of the following seems like I did take offense, it shouldn't, because I didn't. It just gives me a change to explain further. <P>An Arwen Hatersmoot is my definition of:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>This thread is a discussion about why you do NOT like Arwen in the movies, so none of us want to hear why you do like her in the movies. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>This thread is a one-sided critique on Arwen in the film. It's only supposed to be discussing why people do not like her in the movies, not why you do like her in the movies.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>What you described sounds an awful lot like a series of posts detailing all the negative things you can think of, hence, my observation of it as "101 Reasons Why Arwen Sucks". If I misunderstand you, it is because I literally interpret what you type as meaning just what you typed. You can hardly blame me for that.<P>Lily Ahern defended Arwen in her post. That's a fact. So, right off the bat that was an invitation for opposing viewpoints. The topic starter herself did what you said the thread isn't about! Now, in both these quotes you just did what lindil so kindly pointed out is prohibited: you told someone with different opinions to bug off. This goes for everyone, not just people who think that no one should complain about the movie. There should be both kinds of posts in this thread.<P>And that also goes for whatever we're talking about, be it Arwen or anything else. Arwen isn't even a great big deal to me, but the way discussions are held on Barrow Downs threads are, so that explains the deviation from the initial topic that this post entails. No one can go on discussing productively until it's clear what the discussion is about. That seems to be in question.<p>[ January 31, 2003: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]
