Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 3887091" data-attributes="member: 2525">The thread was not limited to just reasons for the strike.  Post number one was essentially "let's talk about the strike, and it's ramifications".  People starting posting about what jerks the Producers were being.  I didn't see you object to those posts.  So if your objection is "stick to the the more limited topic of reasons for the strike", I have not seen you chastise anyone else for not sticking to that limited issue when it came to bashing the Producers for their bad behavior.The writers are striking with a claim that the Producers are taking too much money and not giving enough to the writers, and many people have mentioned in this thread that the writers are underpaid.  It's absolutely relevant to state that they are actually doing quite well on average. and some are millionaires, and some of the people they are striking against make LESS money than them.  I am sure you can see why that would be relevant to this discussion, given it directly contradicts some claims made in this thread.  It's OK that I am responding to points made in the thread, right?There was an accusation of "Union busters in the AMPTP and others had been working against them"  Later, someone linked to this <a href="http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>, which details various bad behavior from the Producers since the strike started titled "The CEOs Aren't Playing Fair".  Then there was a link to this <a href="http://www.laweekly.com/news/deadline-hollywood/deals-lies-and-back-channels/17631/" target="_blank">article</a>  detailing claims that the Producer's duped the writers and lied after the strike happened.  Then someone posted this <a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20159387,00.html" target="_blank">article</a> claiming the Producer's have been dishonestly working the press corp.  So to address your claim that the pro-Writer's position in this thread hasn't ever bashed the Producer's behavior since the strike, as opposed to simply focusing purely on reasons for the strike itself, I feel you are wrong.I absolutely did not accuse you of arbitrarily coming to the conclusion that you side with the writer's.  You in fact came to the same conclusion I did.I did however say that you already came to that conclusion, and that you are reacting as most people react to things they perceive as questioning their prior conclusion - to try and poke holes in it rather than sit back and carefully consider it.  Most people, myself included most of the time, carefully consider things before we draw a conclusion, and not after we have already done so.Fair enough.</blockquote>
