The label happened right there! Other than that, this issue is between you and the TM. Like I said, I respect your POV although I may not agree with it, but I don't find it right to stereotype everyone with the tag. Cause in the end, I got my own opinions about the character, and you have you're own.
I am assuming that you understand what "have I stirred a hornet's nest ?" means.
It means : "have I angered anyone?"
That is politeness ....... my post began with "I BEG to differ" and ended with a proverb for "have I angered anyone" ........ my understanding of the english language has not yet gone that lame that I would not be able to differentiate between any "instigatory" language and politeness
Pls understand that when someone writes on a public forum, its not necessary that they would agree to the general consensus. And if they do not agree to a general consensus, it does not mean that they should not be writing about it. People do have the liberty to voice their opinions on a public forum, as long as it is done politely
And I do not see anything in my post that indicates that I have been impolite....... all my post did was, maintained that I could not completely equate the character with the actor at all levels....... although I did appreciate the actor's performance per se....... there is a difference in that
