This.

The elitist attn-whores who offer no support whatsoever for their criticisms of movies, TV or even books, that use statements like:

"The Dark Tower series suck, and millions of fans agree."

Some dude with an Aubie affiliation actually wrote that a few years ago.

I do not consider you in that group. You have a preferred taste but I never thought you disliked something for no reason and I think we have similar taste in movies and music

I did and it doesn't read well but it's clear enough.

No disagreement there, but there is an assumption that all disagreeing opinions are suspect of "trolling". You don't see how that's retarded?

So you approach every disagreement with "oh he must be playing with me, there's no way someone could have a different opinion". You don't see how that might be a silly way to look at the world? Maybe just a little bit?

The problem with this board is that any variance from the consensus is treated as a troll. There is a groupthink mentality that goes out of its way to try and punish those not conforming to the accepted opinion of what movie is good and what isn't.

I laid out logical reasons why I didn't like certain episodes, I admitted things that were great, I admitted the season picked up, and I always explained why I didn't like things as they related to plot and character development, etc...

You have been shitting on star wars since the cast was announced because there's a black guy and a woman in it.

Learn the difference you trolling sack of race baiting dog shite.

No, you did the same sociopathic shite every week. You'd post early that you liked it, then after your meds kicked in, you'd rant endlessly about how bad it was and how you miss them good ole days.

My criticisms have nothing to do with black guys and women, though I did correctly predict that Carrie Fisher would be hard to watch. Good on me there.

So disagreement? If your problem is that people feel differently than you, then why not just read your own opinion over and over again in a deferent font and pretend it's someone else's?


This.

People who only want to post on an echo chamber and throw out the T word every time someone disagrees are annoying as shite, and do more to derail the discussion than the people they're bitching about.



And this x100.

There are very few legitimate trolls around here and the ones that do it, often contribute anyways. Even unknown had his moments at one point. Trolls mainly mine the OT and Political Talk boards. It's hard to troll here because it's simply about subjective opinion.

People are too excited to either throw out a "troll" label or a "you just don't like it because you don't want to like it," or some variation thereof instead of having a discussion. Despite the against the grain opinion, blueboy isn't trolling about Star Wars, he just has some serious issues with it, and that's ok.
