I trust you guys to be able to come to your own conclusions.

Then please, whenever someone says they have opinion A, you don't have to directly reply to them and remind us that you have an opposite opinion. You rarely say anything constructive with this style of reply and they're very repetitive. I mean, sure, I understand that you have endless confidence in your viewpoints, and that you love to feel self-righteous in your ability to post a disagreement in reply to everything you don’t like, but contests between whoever can repeat their opinion the most are boring and stupid. Try exploring the viewpoints of other people before you begin attacking it with one of your contradicting statements. Also, you can occasionally try offering reasons for your own viewpoint instead of simply stating unsupported opinions, over and over again. Simply because you can state your point of view does not make it automatically true.

For instance: Someone posts the opinion that the original trilogy had less obvious statements from its characters when compared to the prequel trilogy. Instead of simply saying “they both have the same amount,” put an “I believe” or “I think” before that statement. Then, instead of leaving your rebuttal at that basic statement, try asking what the first person meant by what he said. You can also try exploring the other person’s point of view on your own; play devil’s advocate with yourself and try to see their point of view. You might find it fun. Based on the amount of posting you engage in, you should have the time to utilize these discussion techniques (I'm not sure why you don't). I would hope you prefer discussions with people before teasing them in passive ways.
