Going back through the history of the SST forum, one will notice a that whenever a debate occurs there is always that one obligatory poster who is compelled to leap up and shout.

"There are exceptions to every rule!"

To all of you, I say,

"Thank you, Captain Obvious!" Very Happy

Noo... the point of my mantra was to say that because you can't do it, teach it, or critique it professionally, you choose to whine about it here on an internet forum.

To defend yourself, you decided to ignore everything but the first line of that mantra and make this about teachers.

Let me know when you need a ladder to climb out of this hole you've dug yourself in.

Well, I actually meant that there are a lot of exceptions to this particular rule. In fact, I'd call it more of a loose correlation than a rule.

But still, glad to be of service.

Sincerely,

Captain Obvious Smile

Interesting how you're basically the only one here mentioning I'm a pro, as if this would in some way invalidate my argument.

Anyways, Zirael, I apologize for offering to toss you a shovel, when I really should have been offering you a map.

You're clearly lost. So let me light the way.

I said you guys (referring to some of you) are being film snobs.

You denied it.

I pointed out that since you don't do it, teach it, or criticize it, you choose to come here and complain about it like a film snob.

You went on about teaching for some reason.

I pointed this out.

Now you're whining about having the right to an opinion.

This argument is not about teaching, nor is it about your right to an opinion. It's about whether or not you're a film snob. Something you can't seem to be able to defend so you keep trying to change the subject as if hoping this will distract from the fact that you lost this discussion several posts ago.

Give it up. You're a snob. Need more proof? When I didn't understand one of your posts and asked for some examples to clarify, you seized it as an excuse to create an entirely new thread based souly on the purpose of ripping on Horner.

If you want to be a snob, fine. The real problem here isn't that you are one; it's that you continue to deny it.
