What a target rich environment. Where do I start?
1. I specifically noted that I have no issue with your not sharing my taste in TV programming. Tastes in entertainment is
Have you been watching The Wire? Tastes ... is. Werd, my brotha.
about as subjective as it gets. I certainly have not "cried" or "taken offense" about it. Similarly, I don't care if your taste in food, clothing, or a host of other things diverges from mine.
Except your commentary says otherwise.
2. I did not "start my opinion by crapping all over other options and other's opinions." I simply expressed my own preference. If anyone did that, it was you.
I posted "ew." That's it. That's indicating I didn't like what you suggested. Pretty simple and straightforward. If you want, you can characterize my response as crapping all over your suggestion, very succinctly. You started your post with "I tend to prefer foreign made shows over the usual glop of American made police, fire, EMT, and hospital shows." That's pretty obviously starting your opinion by crapping all over other options and other's opinions, as those are obviously highly rated (and, therefore, highly liked) shows. Calling them "glop" is just like saying "ew." These things are similar. You, however, tried to equate expressing not liking something (my statement ... and yours, as I've shown) with the other guy who was aghast that someone didn't take his opinion to heart and immediately run out and spend money to watch a show he recommended. That statement, by the guy, expresses a level of self-centered narcissism that goes beyond simply saying a variant of "I don't like that." That's different.
3. If Poster A criticizes Poster B for not sharing Poster A's taste in TV programming, Poster A is effectively criticizing Poster B's own taste in TV programming. If Poster A says "Ew" (actually, it should be "Eww") with respect to Poster B's taste in TV programming, he is likewise criticizing Poster B's taste in TV programming.
Capisce? This should not be difficult to understand.
You're finally correct ... it should not be difficult to understand ... I don't know why you're having such a problem.
Poster A did NOT criticize Poster B for not sharing Poster A's taste in TV programming. Poster A criticized Poster B's entire attitude in his post. It was very "ew." You could have just said some variation of "I like foreign made TV shows" and listed some out. Instead, you had to poop on genres which others, I'm sure, like (I'm generally not a fan of those genres, either, but that's neither here nor there), and then you went the extra step of droning on about the different ways to watch a foreign film/show (as if everyone didn't already know them), choosing to highlight that the one way you choose NOT to watch, is like watching an old Godzilla movie (again, pooping on it).
The entire post was "ew." It was trying too hard.
And, no, it should not be "eww" ... "ew" is far more appropriate and what was intended. A short and to the point renunciation of you and your expressed attitude. "Eww" would be if you actually took a literal crap on the board and we had to look at it and smell it. Ewwww. Add or subtract as many letters as wanted, for desired effect. "Ew," on the other hand, is a short, dismissive show of disgust. Learn words, IlliterateEwBear. Maybe stick to
Engrish until you've mastered that, and then branch out to other offerings. Ya feel me, dawg?
