what was out of line?
My error must be assuming that the responses, if there were any, would have been geared differently. The two responses to which you refer were certainly welcome but smacked of blind consumerism...the second one managing to blend hipster douchbaggery in with it. Vapid IMHO.
I suppose I just don't, or have yet to, fit in here. My other posts have been snarked upon and ridiculed with the same sort of bratty witticisms that I find less witty and more bratty as I get older. Still...at under 40 I didn't know I was getting so crotchety.
My aim was to gauge a reaction to a casual criticism of a common product and follow the eventual determination up with thanks and a brief comment on how it formed my new perspective. The topic had to be mundane so that opposing arguments could be held well below injurious levels.
Instead I got two comments that said basically...It's sweeter than I thought and I have known about this gimmick for years.
The rest, of course, is the "harshing upon" that has become every pseudointellectual punk's favorite hobby...that and declaring hypocrisy in ten steps or less...interpreting inferences and associations on the fly in order to maintain an argument where there is none.
Golly....I am crotchety.
Fuck it.
