Thank you Caryl. Trust me this...if anyone in the entire known universe would know what it is like to have me take "a go" at them, it would be this lady right here. I have always respect Caryl and appreciated the banter. It gets a little heated, but there is intelligence and conviction in the discourse. I hate that we are in a state now where you cannot debate the words people choose to put on the computer screen without being chastised for taking "a go" at the person themselves.
There was a time when I was a "Lost Boy" just like Wario (
and I would highly suggest Wario do some research about the Lost Boys of Loafdom and what became of us - it ain't pretty). All Lost Boys grow up and learn to play with the adults. I took my hit and came out a better person. I get where Wario is coming from, I really do. I was there at one point. I was also brought down as well. I respect and appreciate his enthusiasm, but also know that shouting down others opinions and taking the expert opinion will get you no where in this world.
En Vogue said it best.... "free your mind, and the rest will follow..."
Tolerance on all sides and re-reading posts before you click "submit" is always a good thing. I respect that Wario does not like the product he purchased, but he should also respect that I do. It is that simple. He believes the company that produced the content to be "shit" and should respect my opinion that it is not. It is all a matter of respect.
Why some people's opinions are to be considered valid and others is not ... that is a double standard I cannot abide by.
