(25,477 posts)Where in my post did I state that the movie should be censored by the Government? Where in my post did I state that no one should have the freedom to make a shitty film? Where in my post did I advocate SONY Pictures' pulling the film out of release? Where in my post did I proffer sympathy for this dictator?
All I was trying to say was that this whole concept, in my opinion,(and apparently in the opinion of many many many others) was not a GOOD IDEA. Some here say that I was advocating censorship. Not at all...is it disallowed to simply posit that this was an idea which had real potential to fail from the beginning?
The nastiness of some here is just appalling -as a ten year veteran of this site, I am thoroughly disgusted with the attitudes of some here who have already managed to drive out dozens and dozens of veteran posters. If that is your plan, then you're succeeding. Congratulations.
Oh...and just one more thing: for whatever reason a few posters decided to bring up my opinions in re: the Ebola situation from a number of weeks ago. There was a deliberate misstatement of my position during that entire misadventure, and I stand by every single post I made during that time. DU Rules prevent me from stating exactly what I think these people are doing here and what I think of them personally for doing so.
