Opinion Poll on Go-Mer-Tonic
Time
So you're saying that complaining about what we consider to be a shoddy product is bad? That we, as consumers, shouldn't voice our opinions on something we think sucks? That we should just "play nice" in the hopes that we might be able to give our money to them for what we want? Hell, I think bitching about it is much more productive than this LucasFilm employee coming back and saying, "Well, they're all happy with this release. You were right. We didn't need to do any work after all." That's just silly.

As for the topic of this thread, I ended up voting Yes a few days ago, but I think that's just because I was pissed with Go-Mer at the time for not paying attention to my posts and just answering what he wanted to. Now, I've just pretty much sat on the sidelines for the past few days and just noticed how ridiculous this whole thing is. There's one side telling Go-Mer to go away, some with logical arguments and some with flaming. And then Go-Mer defends himself, some of which I agree with and others that just sound pompous and only serve to stir up more crap. Honestly, I don't mind if he stays. What's annoying me more right now is not that every thread has de-evolved into PT arguments, but that every thread has de-evolved into the Go-Mer wars.

The personal hygiene thread

Who only brushes their teeth once a week?! But, yeah, that's pretty interesting. I didn't know people in Brasil brushed their teeth so often.

And as for the underarm shaving thing... I really don't have a problem with it. Really, it has nothing to do with hygeine. We're just so used to seeing shaven women that anything else seems weird. Doesn't turn me off, though. Last winter (when you're not showing off much of your body anyway), I convinced my girlfriend to stop shaving all parts just to see what it looked like with full hair. Not a big deal to me.

Is that even what I was saying?! No! Read what I write for once, and read what I quote you on, so you'll have some idea what I'm calling you on, rather than seeing me disagree with you and making up your own reason for me doing so. You claim that the generational gap in between the two trilogies would just draw the same conflict out longer. Where's your proof? How is that any more than speculation on your part? Geez, don't make me write this again.

Even though in that other article I've quoted ad nauseum, he said there was another generation gap in between "episodes VI and VII." How convenient to take that out of context. Holy shit, this same argument has been transplanted to this other thread. You know what? I'm sick of this. Everybody just shut the hell up. This whole thing is pissing me off now. My side, stop whining about banning Go-Mer. Go-Mer, stop being a genteel prick. JediRandy... gosh, I don't even know what to say to you anymore.

I don't know if I can vote or not. Go-Mer has gotten on my nerves in the past few days with his incapability or unwillingness to take facts that oppose his view. Whenever a fact is presented, he simply asks for more proof, and it's never enough. Before that, though, he never really annoyed me, and I thought people had been overreacting to him. So I'm really not sure, and I'm just going to stay out of it for now.
