Just to make sure. The topic of the thread is a vs fight you would like to see. Some people hate/dislike the thread even existing and say how pointless/childish/(insert negative conotation here) such musings are. So even though they belittle the existence of such conjectures they are entitled to their opinion don't you think? I believe it is completely possible to deride and belittle an idea and not the person offering that idea. The phrase "thats stupid" does not mean "you are stupid" in my view.
For those that still enjoy thinking about such "Vs." battles they still have a thread and an avenue to voice what they would love to see. Failing that there is always fan fiction comic book style. "Rake vs. everyone" nuff said" There is also nothing wrong with this IMO.
Either point of view is valid and railing against each other's likes and dislikes seems like a debate. Debate issues all you want when it comes to you "liking" or "wanting" something how is anyone going to stop you?
In the end you read something and form your own opinion and move on.
I'm glad you agree people are entitled to their opinion, i would never say anyone wasn't, nor do i think i infer in the post i am against it. Just stating my own and i was careful to make that clear. Though that has nothing to do with what i was saying, i'm not sure why you think or felt the need to enquire about being able to make an opinion. It is not the message but the delivery i am discussing, not the right to make a comment. I didn't realise there was such ambiguity or room for misunderstanding in my post, apologies for that.
The internet allows people to act more freely with their words than they would in real life. People come in and whine about another thread, to me its rather weird, i wouldn't walk into a pub i didn't like and sit and moan about it(neither would a lot of people some because they would realise it is easily remedied, leave) fair enough if one were captive but that is not the case. For me i cannot see the point it is non-sequitur, why be some place one does not like? Then attempt to steal the joy of people who do like it by deriding their likes. I am an aethesist but wouldn't sit in a church and moan loudly about the "guff"( even id i found it guff) i am hearing, belittling their creation story etc.
I do not know why people do it, but i do know if i were to walk about doing it in real life it would be a sign of not all being well.
But as you said you see no problem with it, so we must think differently, but that is cool by me. Hell you may even have the right of it.
