My perception was that she got a lot of shit for disagreeing with a lot of
people on one thread, and decided not to post anymore. That may be
wrong. In the interest of not commenting on things that I don't know
enough about, I removed my comment from my post, with a note saying
as much.

But. But. I stand by my general comments. In my opinion, this
forum has become less enjoyable and more strident in the last several
years. In my opinion, virtually every positive comment about anything new   
is now leavened with an unhealthy dose of pessimism and vitriol. In my
opinion, liking something new is seen by many here as being not just
debatable, but actually disrespectful of that which has come before it.

I've felt the urge to comment about that lately because I've been around
here awhile, and thought that maybe comments from a more familiar
voice would ring a little more true than it would from someone who
signed up just to bitch.

Because they are Quakers -- they expect you'll use your self restraint.

Honestly, why does Quaker even bother to put that stuff in that size package. Everyone uses two.

Conversely, if we just passively accept the formated packaging size, it is one more submission to social control. Reclaim your individuality -- don't let some soulless multinational corporation force-feed you their standard for "individual serving"!

Although I'm not a fan of most comics and creators of today, it'd be simply wrong to attack or criticize someone for liking them. I think society in general has adopted a stance where differing opinions are frowned upon, and toeing the party line is the way to go.

Don't hesitate to speak up, Sean <g>!
