I shall attempt to make this the kind of site Eric wants. And of course I shall frequently request debate, and then ignore the information and arguments put forth by those that don't share my opinion.
Or perhaps I'll just start posting reviews as they come along and take a step back from the hypocritical smarminess of Herr Dickens, and the mind-boggling double-standards of Monsieur Dorrell, (the most pretentious and presumptuous person I've ever met, yet one who feels free to, as he did above, call me presumptuous for telling someone to get over themselves, as if I was actually demanding everyone act like a twenty year old), both of whom seem to mistake ornery obstinacy for a perk of old age.
As for Mirabell, I don't think he wanted to stay here anymore, and he made it quite clear that if the asininity of several posters wasn't dealt with (apparently people get offended when he insulted them for telling lies or making racist claims), he wasn't going to stay anyway. Quite a shame. I found mirabell's insight on serious threads to be lightyears more informative and interesting than Eric's dull, meandering pedantry, (it really made me angry when Eric called M's reviews dull and long). I will stick around if only so that there is some active check on on the two above named users. I would definitely expect something better from many users of this site, especially those with a high degree of education which would make me expect that they know something and know how to contribute better than they have been.
I'm simply through with taking some people seriously. They'll have to earn that bare minimum of respect back or just deal with it. That's my personal solution for getting by without wading through any further shit.
