People said they didn't like the episode, you asked them why they didn't like it, they explained why decently with no intention of turning the thread into a huge argument, and you chose to keep it going. If there was any debate here, it was forced. .
Debates and arguments often get blown out of porportion like this. I suppose this is what I get for making this thread anything other than "OMG, this was so boring! We hate this episode! Team Rocket sucks!"
Well, hey, as soon as you're ready to actually show us how you're opinion is totally definitely the right one instead of spewing "IT WAS INTERESTING OK", we'll listen. These opinions aren't stupid, they're just regular. People found the episode boring, please get over it.
LOL, no. There's no such thing as a "totally definitely right opinion": I know that. I've given my reasons for why I found these episodes okay, but even if I were to go on,
you'd refuse to listen. And of course these "stupid" opinions are regular... for fans of this anime, that is. I bet if there was a whole thread dedicated to how a Hunter J or Team Galactic episode was boring and meaningless, there'd be dozens of people crawling to the episodes' defense.
Yeah, I've gotten over that these people found this episode boring. You please get over yourself now.
Even if Ash meeting the fabulous Dr. Zager was important, I still found the episodes boring (oh no).
Probably because Zager proceeded to give a bunch of exposition that you didn't have the attention span for. But even so, I still found the episode interesting (oh no, someone likes a BW TR pokemon theft mission episode! BURN THE WITCH!)
Please, continue to repeat that it was interesting, it doesn't make you sound hypocritical at all. You claim that we're not allowed to dislike an episode, yet you're allowed to say that it was definitely interesting? I'm sorry, but I don't recall you being allowed to dictate whether or not we found an episode interesting, and this reeks of hypocrisy.
LOL, you didn't even notice how I called it an opinion. Nowhere have I said you're "not allowed" to think or feel a certain way about an episode. But again, in a debate, you cannot say "well in my opinion, this was..."; I really believe in what I'm saying and I'm going to make that known. I am now willing to shut up about the matter because you don't see things my way: feel free to go on hating the episode all you like, just talk to someone else about it.
The only way you've backed up your opinion so far is by repeating it, while pretty much everyone else has given various reasons for disliking the episode, for a lack of action to it having no overall consequence
But I at least haven't resorted to saying "it's just my opinon!" because, again, I believe in what I'm arguing here. And I have been counterarguing why people's claims for not liking it don't fly (for instance: lack of action. In the first part, yeah. But in the second part? How would you define "action" then?): you people are just not really listening and insist on arguing "it still doesn't matter much! It was boring!"
Just because people don't have the same opinion as you doesn't mean that they're wrong.
Yeah, I freaking get that. That doesn't mean I should just keep quiet about what I disagree with. Again, freedom of speech. I can totally handle you firing back at me with your different opinions. But if you can't do the same, then why are you even on the internet?
You have a ridiculous bias against Paul, and towards Trip and TR. Why must you post to slander/defend them all of the time? .
Perhaps it is bias against Paul (because I think he's a seriously boring character and really, how could anyone stand to be around someone like him?), but in the case of Trip and TR, it's not bias: it's liking. Why must I
not post my disagreements with people who trash them? I'm not "not allowing them to have their opinions" but I'm arguing mine: I shouldn't have to keep meek and quiet about the stuff I feel strongly about. The idea that one shouldn't try defending these characters and just let the majority go on and on about their opinion on a thread is a biased double standard in of itself.
Does freedom of speech allow you to force your opinion onto others?
No it doesn't. Thus why that's not what I've been doing at all. The notion that I've been trying to "force" people to see things my way is a product of their insecure imaginations.
