Clearly, this is meant to be a dead issue at this point, but I wanted to say that I thought Evan was somewhat unfair in singling out GP's post in the NCFOM thread as simply "hatred". Goodness knows we see much more venomous, personally-directed comments made here (some of the reaction to Jonny's MK Wii review comes to mind) that manage to avoid being banished to the Funhouse.
Also, I think she raised a legitimate point that Evan was dismissing Ian's opinion as being a function of him being in error ("misreading the film"). There is a clear implication there that Evan deems Ian's assessment of NCFOM invalid because it is premised on something that is simply incorrect, whereas Evan has interpreted the film correctly and therefore his opinion is valid. It is no surprise to me that someone would find such inferences objectionable, as they have something of a supremacist undertone to them. I'm sure that Evan did not want to convey such sentiment, but that is how it can seem from a certain perspective.
I suppose GP would just like to see Evan display greater respect for different points of view rather than being so quick to dismiss them as the product of myopia or dysfunction, and I personally don't think that is too much to ask for either. I should point out that I have not seen NCFOM so I don't have an opinion on the film as of yet, I'm just commenting on the principle of how people regard the views of others. If I am missing vital context for the discussion here then I regret that, I just wanted to make these observations and hopefully shed some light on the disconnect that I perceive to be present in this case.

Evan is an elitist and I'm always right. Yes, that is it.

Oh I am fully aware of the thread to change ones title, but after all the harassing I had to do to get the title I currently have, I am not taking any chances of getting it changed. Ok well they changed it to Official NWR Lindsay Lohan Fan when I wanted to it say Official PGC Lindsay Lohan fan but that's a small price to pay to show my affection of all things Lohan.
