@Beyond_The_Veil: How long did you spend writing that? Honestly?
I didn't keep a check, but it was little over an hour if I am not mistaken.
I'm afraid it didn't seem like you were doing so when you so conveniently put others down who shared a different perspective than you by calling them to "grow up".

Now, if "debating" over 2 completely different series is well, mature to you, then so be it. Continue to believe that
There is nothing immature about debating / comparing / analyzing different works of art. Immaturity is putting someone else down, like you did in your first post, and I concede I am guilty of doing so too AFTER YOUR POST and would be more than willing to face the consequence of my action - if only all the sides are penalized depending on the level of their transgression. But if you notice, I haven't put down any section of fans or members down before that - my posts were directed only at the WORKS, not the fans. It wasn't until you made your post, which you directed towards the FANS / MEMBERS, that the debate/discussion turned into a personal territory.
I hope you take a note of your own behavior as well - I repeat, up until you posted your "opinion" on others to grow up, there has not been a single mention of any members or fans or any personal attacks thrown in. I know I had been unreasonably sarcastic and I would freely apologize on my behalf, but it seems rich to me that on one hand you found it okay to ask others to grow up - who have behaved with respect up until then - but don't see a problem with your own judgement on others.

As for the thread that Madz had closed, please tell me why you think that we don't know what we're doing? One, that has NOTHING to do with me or what we're discussing and two, what she did, it was her decision.
It has nothing to do with you, but it does have some bearings to this discussion - I don't see why a discussion which was done so reasonably and logically on BOTH sides need to be closed down. Is it simply on the basis that criticizing works of literature has become akin to bashing or insulting here?

If i hurt your feelings in any way, i apologize. But i was merely stating my opinion. Unfortunately, even a civil comment seems to be dangerous to post on IF anymore.
Apology accepted, but you can't be posting your opinion - especially ones that put others down - and not want others to dissect it in a public domain. And I'm afraid, your comment was far from "civil" - asking other members - who up until then have done no wrong - to "grow up" isn't my definition of "civil".
