No one is chastising anyone for having an opinion, or for discussing an author's work. Maybe I didn't make my point clear. As mature readers, why is it that we cannot discuss those works intelligently, without the need of resorting to subtle insults or "pot-shots?" Is it wrong of me to assume we can have an opinionated discussion without belittling the author? I'm sorry if it comes off as haughty or pretentious, but I never asked anyone to keep their opinions to themselves, I only suggested it be done tactfully, and without claiming an author is incapable of writing because a particular book they've written didn't cater to your tastes. Where's the fault in that?
My "opinion" is that we should be able to discuss literature without making cracks. Other's feel their opinion allows them this right. Since we're in agreement that everyone is entitled to an opinion, we can just agree to disagree and get back on-topic. |
