“Your opinion differs therefore it is wrong.” A+ maturity.

I have no doubt some people are attacking it because they’re genuine misogynists; pretending those people don’t exist is silly, but saying “everyone who hates it hates it because it stars women” is pretty naive.

Except no one said that.

I wasn’t speaking about here, I meant in general.
There are plenty of big articles going the rounds claiming the only reason the film is getting hate is because everyone is a misogynist.

Yeah, forgot how hard it is for some people to realise there’s a world outside their own little bubble, I’ll make sure I do better next time.

This is idiotic.

One post prior you were replying directly to someone else. There was no reason assume you weren’t still engaged directly in the conversation taking place here as opposed to suddenly veering off into “everywhere else” territory in your next post.

But what should I have expected from someone who thinks “retarded” is a perfectly reasonable and not at all offensive insult?

I’d reply but I don’t want you to throw another tantrum, I know how hard it is for you to fathom that you could ever be wrong.

It’s chill though, you’re allowed to bully everyone but nobody can say anything you don’t like or you’ll get angry and act all self-righteous.
I get it, I’ve dealt with people like you before and at this point I just feel sorry for you.
If making fun of others and mocking people is how you spend your free time then I’m not going to lose too much sleep over accidentally offending someone on the internet who regularly belittles other people.
For the record I never would have used the word if I’d known it would upset you, even though the original comment was not directed at you anyway.

You can keep trying to challenge me for that little ego boost it seems to give you but I’m not helping out with that anymore.
I also really wish you’d keep to your word of “not having anything more to say to you,” but oh well.

Why is Peter Gabriel a much better solo artist than Phil Collins?

Peter Gabriel is incredibly talented and made creative music. Phil Collins went the pop star route.

Peter Gabriel has an artistic integrity that Phil Collins hasn’t got.
If you look at Gabriel’s most Pop album So it’s still got challenging material on it and for a long period he churned out many albums of challenging music and championed other artists who were doing the same.
Phil Collins has produced some memorable and musically interesting tracks which are on a par with some of Peter Gabriel’s best work but it’s scattered in with very light weight material and political naive singles, reports of tax avoidance and Conservative party support may be exaggerated and how he spends his millions is not information I have access to but a song like this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt2mbGP6vFI is hard to square with certain confirmed aspects of his life. It’s also structurally a lousy song terrible structure, awful pararhymes etc
When Gabriel makes a political song it’s usually backed up with political action and awareness and fund raising. The song tends to be better too. To their credit even Sting (voice sandpapers any melody) and Bono back up any political message they have with some sort of affirmative action. The song isn’t everything.

Bingo: You really hit the nail on the head regarding the Peter Gabriel vs. Phil Collins discussion.

Taking a page out of Ghimli’s book I see. In all seriousness, this is getting old fast, so just please let it go. I think I can speak for everyone when saying that nobody wants to hear any more drama about how much Frink is supposedly mistreating people. There’s enough of that trash in the General Star Wars Discussion section of the website.

That’s what I was thinking. That was honestly more embarrassing than most everything else he says.

Probably not the one where you’re a moderator… Maybe the two(!) designed from the ground up to be angry reactions to this site?

Certainly not where I’m a moderator. We tell people to shut the hell up immediately when they start stuff like this, and they usually find themselves banned a few posts later.

Not a complaint about ot.com by the way, as I do enjoy the differences between the two sites.
