People who thought the movie stunk! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***Sharkû*** · 01-23-2002, 09:43 PM

This topic is getting more and more out of the normal scheme serious and friendly Barrow-Downs discussions.<BR>If your only goal lies in the satirical intent of yours, you should think twice about posting that in first place.<P>Apart from that, one thing that has become apparent (and was hardly surprising anyway), is that the movie is debated heatedly because opinions diverge greatly. However, good discussions should not become a fight of words by people stubbornly clinging to an opinion without even checking it for polemic content, and even less for polemic presentation. These two latter things we want to avoid nevertheless.<P>I wonder what some people get out of a discussion where they would go as far as sarcasm or personal attacks only to perpetrate their personal opinion, hypothetically speaking.
