Simply put, don't preach things you have no intention or ability to live up to. That quoted line is probably the single most "Pot, Meet Kettle" thing that's ever been posted on this forum, and that's really saying quite a lot.

No, seriously. You're right there in black and white saying "Do not do this thing" which is... like... 99% of what you do, in this section. Your entire gimmick has always been telling people "That thing you like is trash because *I* say so", and now you're trying to say you somehow DON'T do that, and furthermore, chastising ME for the same. Yikes.

I can't even. I have lost the ability to "even". I haven't been this confused since King Kong Bundy called me "fat".

Aqua, I can't reply to your post because I need to go fix a brain fuse. I tried to read it but I'm choking on Situational Irony too hard to formulate a response. Not your fault, that other one threw me for a loop. I appreciate your patience, if required I can probably get you a doctor's note. Just give me some time and I'll get back to you, probably.

Sorry, mate, but for all my bluntness and rudeness I don't act like I have a special authority to judge people and their tastes, just because, I've read 100 of comic books.

That's what it is about. Not about having different opinion.
Hopefully, you'd be able to sort this out.
Cheers!

You do it all the time, comrade. You just don't like it when *I* do it, for some reason.

I'm guessing it's an "Alpha Dog" thing. "Can't be two in one place", and all that. It definitely can't be a "respect other people's opinions" thing, because... well... you don't. Or at least, you've never even pretended to until, like, Right Now.

Enjoy your date night with Ma Kettle, Mr. Pot.

I ain't about delusions, mate.
I don't care about "Alpha Dogs", "Beta Pigs", "Omega Turtles" and other pets. I just don't like, when people act like obnoxious elitists with no reason.
Down with the elites!

Post history suggests otherwise. Some of us have very long memories.

If you suddenly wanna flip your gimmick and turn babyface, that's entirely your prerogative. However, there's generally supposed to be a whole storyline explaining it. You don't just walk out and be like, "Now I'm a Good Guy." Generally, the audience doesn't buy into it.

But I mean, you do you, obviously. I just don't think it's gonna get over.

Think whatever you want, mate.
There is a major difference between our approaches. If you can't see it - not my problem. I also have long memories, so don't worry, I remember your meltdowns and the like, so your attempts to look like an "innocent party" don't trick anyone.

Point of fact, I made the "opinions are subjective" argument before you did. And I've been making it for almost ten years, with you.

Your response to me has ALWAYS been, "Nah, you just like sh*t things."

That's not you "respecting other peoples' opinions." Gotcha.

In regard to this specific conversation, I never said you HAD to agree with me that adaptations should stick close to the source material. What I said was, That's MY preference, and furthermore, that every single person has a different line of importance with regard to such things, including myself. I made the comics/Braveheart analogies specifically towards that end. In which I specifically mentioned, I am a fan of comics, therefore I prefer their adaptations be more faithful; I'm not a Scottish history major, therefore, I don't especially care that Braveheart isn't all that accurate.

You cherry-picked the hell out of the post, looking for things you could play games with me about. So one would think you caught that part. OR, your reading comprehension perhaps simply isn't great, and therefore you missed the entire point. Given that English isn't your first language, that'd be understandable to a point, but the fact that it led to you needlessly rattling my cage over something of such little consequence is annoying.

So what actually HAPPENED was, I expressed my opinion and said "tastes are subjective". Then you ALSO said "tastes are subjective", but also, saw fit to call me "autistic" and tell me that my opinion is wrong.

So what you're ultimately saying is, you perhaps think in a broad sense that different opinions deserve to be respected, but you simply choose not to respect mine, specifically. You never have respected them, so please don't pretend you ever have. Calling someone "autistic" over their preference in movies is not "respecting their opinions", my son.

And that's really all it's ever been with us. There were never any "meltdowns". Just me chiding you over and over again, for years, and often at length, about needlessly being an obstinate ass.

I don't like doing it, especially. But you force me to. Because you simply say a lot of things that are either totally inflammatory, OR, totally self-contradictory, as in this case. "Respect other's opinions. Except yours are dumb, you must be autistic." That's literally you. Just a little while ago.

The difference between us is simply I make no pretense. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion. But I'm not inclined to pretend I especially care about theirs.

AND. Unlike you, I generally don't call anyone's opinion sh*t unless they provoke me first. At that point, they've earned it. Otherwise, they can say any dumb thing they want, I really don't care. It doesn't affect me, UNTIL they start making it a federal/personal case. As you so often do.

I mean, here's a game we can play. I'd rather open both wrists than watch a Taika Waititi movie. I know that you, however, love his movies. Can you honestly remember the last time I gave you a hard time about it? Even in the middle of an argument? I'll answer for you: You can't, because I haven't, at least not in a very long time if ever. Because what you think of his movies is your business, and despite the fact we are of polar opposite opinions on that particular subject, I'm not inclined to call you names over it. I don't actually care that much. You can like whatever you want, I don't care. Me disagreeing with you isn't me "condescending" to you.

And I really, REALLY wish that by now you could understand that.

But again. I don't actually think it has anything to do with that. You've been nastier to people on this forum than I've EVER been, and further, Temp Banned way more often, for exactly that reason. So the fact that you, of all people who've ever posted here, is trying to somehow once again portray ME as some kind of narcissist, and yourself man of the people...

Well, it's confusing.

What I think is - sincerely - you got bored and figure we haven't had a scrap in a while, so you just made up something to try and rattle my cage since it's been a while and you know I always respond.

A person who calls someone "autistic" over a difference of opinions, doesn't truly believe in "respecting others' opinions."

The End.

Your political commentary is often spot-on. More That, Less This. All Of This serves nothing and no one. Three days in? Time to move on.

This was a good one. You received 18 experience points.

"Meltdown".

Rather, just me explaining at length exactly why you're an idiot and a hypocrite for the hundredth time.

One of us has definitely been sippin' the ol' antifreeze vodka a bit hard. But it ain't me.

Again, stick to arguing politics. Your arms ain't long enough to box with God.

You've never answered any of my points, just made a long post to insult me. So, yes, it is your typical grade "A" meltdown. Not the first one.

And, mate, I don't believe in gods. And even, if I did, you ain't one. You are more like some goblin with little self-control, when it comes to your precious superpups.

I was like that about TMNT. But it was when I was 12.
Take time, breath in, breath out. Clear your brain-cogs, sip some questionable substance, you are mistaking for a beer and ****ing learn not to take criticism of your favorite characters so personally.

Cheers.

P.S.
AFAIK, you're cool guy, so I don't take your insults personally, since I know you are saying this **** in a heat of the moment.
Besides, anyone going mad about Superman like this can not be taken 100% seriously by default.
