My opinion was 100% disdainful, you're right. No sarcasm. I have nothing but disgust for the character Tauriel.

The reason I'm not backing down is because it is my meaningless opinion. It only has as much weight as Tauriel or you decided to give it. She chose to take it really personally and get offended. As I've said before, I don't know her so how could I have an opinion on her? I haven't even met her in game, so how could I judge if she's a good player or not? I can't and I didn't. All I said was that I don't like that name as I associate it with tacky audience-pandering on the part of Peter Jackson.

I also won't apologize for expressing my opinion, as much as one might disagree, on a forum that's purpose is discussion and the expressing of opinions. You can claim that I was rude all day long, but I strongly disagree. From where I'm standing I expressed my opinion and you didn't like it so you automatically jumped to attacking my character.

If you're going to get this thread back "on topic" re: anime names, I'll show myself out. I had nothing more to add than I don't like them. Again, I only opined on Tauriel's name because she presented it, coupled with the fact that there was an ongoing discussion about it.
