Its weird how only one mindset is allowed. People are apparently just suppose to agree.
That's how this forum has evolved. I miss the days when you'd have to write a thesis paper to explain your position while making sure you didn't forget anything cause someone will rake you over the coals and hound you for forever and a day about the smallest miniscule of a detail about a thing you forgot to include. Now most of the time even if you state that you might not enjoy a small aspect about something or a character it will be ignored by the fact you said you enjoyed said thing or character. Or the opposite if you didn't like it/them.

Then there are those who state they might disagree with a point or points about something someone has brought up but almost never show that they do. They only take umbrage with how others are disagreeing with someone else. Which I'm sure is how the dog piling people into a group comes to be. And when such behavior starts to make a pattern some act surprised that others have noticed it and get defensive about it. Not to say that any side is free of said behavior or that no amount of bias doesn't play into such. Course the days where you had to write thesis papers are part of why I chose to dip out of the general section and even now don't engage as much.

Heck I don't even dislike the OP or even some of the others I disagree with. I just have a problem with how they word things. Which to some will get labeled as some form of thought and or forum policing or trying to silence voices or white knighting. Course I also got older and learned not to try and be as up in arms about everything or get goaded into debating about.
