I just received a comment on one of movie reviews where the person seemed to take great personal offense at my having the nerve to dislike a movie that he loved. His comment really bugged me because it seemed to say, "If you didn't like this, it must mean you don't get it." How condescending! Instead of making things personal and trying to school me on the elements of drama and fiction (two areas where, I assure you, I don't need schooling) this poster might have shown some emotional intelligence and been open to the idea that intelligent adults can and do disagree with one another, all the time. It keeps life interesting, IMO.
Have others received comments of this kind? I'm curious because I find that most posters here are really open to other people's opinions. In fact, I doubt a site such as this one would work if people were anything but open to the opinions of others.
