The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Mad_Jack]

It would be so much easier to have discussions with people if they didn't assume everyone who disagreed with them was an idiot.

I assume everyone is an idiot whether they agree with me or not. After all, we are spending hours of our time discussing things on an internet forum...

Mod Note:
If this thread becomes a place to make direct snide remarks about other thread, it will get closed.

We're okay with folks sharing some of the general frustrations of online interactions, but not passive-aggressive potshots.

So please, folks, don't do this.

Well that is certainly a...creative?...position to take. I suppose that, if you get drunk, spin around three times, squint, and desperately want to start a fight, I can see how you might come to that conclusion. Somehow.

Seriously, why do people always take the least-charitable, worst-faith, most convoluted interpretation possible when discussing an opposed point of view of something? Why all the social gymnastics just to avoid having to say "I don't know" or "I was wrong"?

Oh. Right.

This is the Internet.

Because I can't be wrong. I once thought I was wrong, in 1968, but I was wrong.

That resigned feeling when you are going to bed, and you know that multiple threads you're interested in are each going to be at least 100 pages longer by tomorrow morning.

Rian Johnson on How The Last Jedi Reflects His Own Star Wars Fandom

The most contentious conversation starter (or ender) during nerdy holidays just might be whether or not you enjoyed 2017's Star Wars: The Last Jedi—a film still being regularly and passionately discussed, unlike Lucasfilm’s most recent trilogy closer The Rise of Skywalker. Remember that one?

www.yahoo.com

You can’t deny that Johnson’s film shook up the galaxy far, far away—earning some misguided wrath thanks to the idea that going different places with Star Wars is sacrilegious. Johnson is aware of what he did and how it’s impacted the stories since. “I definitely didn’t approach the entire thing as a meta exercise because I think first and foremost, it has to be an honest expression of what the characters are actually going through. And it’s not very interesting to just think in a meta way about Star Wars.”

Ha, jokes on you.

I'm the idiot in any conversation.
