Re: Stupid things to get mad over

But here's the thing -- you should be allowed to criticize something without PERSONALLY being criticized in turn. Saying "I don't like this character or scene or plot line" is just you giving your opinion/analysis of a piece of fiction. I have no problem if someone wants to reply with "I disagree for X,Y, and Z reason."

But I don't at all understand why I should have to put up with people personally attacking me -- calling me a troll or a mindless hater -- when all I'm doing is stating my opinion. I'm not saying my opinion is objective fact or that you have to agree with me. Just that it's how I've interpreted the piece of media.

I do absolutely think that people have the right to criticize a work without expecting to be criticized in turn. Criticizing a PERSON for their opinion is called an ad hominem attack.

That doesn't mean I expect my opinion to go UNCHALLENGED, however. On the contrary, I welcome it. I welcome the chance for someone to change my mind or to offer a new perspective. I've actually fallen in love with some characters that I used to hate by discussing them with knowledgeable and open-minded fans.
