I decided to downvote this. Not because you’re saying you dislike something that I love, but because you’re attacking something period rather than trying to start an interesting discussion based off something like:
“So as we all know a lot of people really like HPatMoR, but for me personally it feels like a prime example of Politics and Awful Art. Does anyone else feel like this? Might there be any interesting patterns in how your attitude towards HPatMoR correlates with other things, like the way you feel about various other fictional works, for instance?”
And started the discussion by sharing some other potentially interesting personal observations.
Why didn’t you write that instead? And I don’t mean, “what the hell is wrong with you man”, I actually do mean, “Why didn’t you write that instead?”
Did you just not think of it at the time, and in retrospect you do agree that would have been a cooler way to do it? Or did you have a specific reason for taking the more, uh, ‘vitriolic’ route in the first place that you would still stand by?
