I started reading about halfway down the first page (from king's post, since cynicalgrrlll was so kind as to report it), and then I balked as I skimmed through the rest of the thread.

you want some definitions?

Passing judgments on a movie you haven't seen, and generalizing anyone who would want to see that movie? That's ignorance.

Complaing about how the masses blindly follow the media, when that same media was your only source of information for the topic you're discussing? That's hypocrisy.

Trying to tell us how to moderate our site when you are just a guest? "darling", that's lunacy.

Cynical, I can't say that your posts have made any impression on me other than "this girl needs to get away from her computer and smile in the sunshine." I used to be cynical myself, and it's a depressing lifestyle.

You want to call us hypocrites when you think we're breaking our own rules? send us a PM, or send another mod a PM... when you drag it out into public and try to make it a spectacle, you aren't going to look very good for it.

Saying you were ignorant of the subject wasn't exactly an insult. ignorance is pervasive, we're all ignorant of one thing or another. I have yet to see the film (although I plan to eventually, and guess what, I'm atheist, not a christian looking for another shrine where I can worship my white deities), so I'm ignorant about the film and what it contains, beyond what I've heard on TV or from others who have seen it. I don't mind being ignorant and I don't mind being called ignorant because I know I don't have all the facts. This doesn't stop me from seeking the truth.

Ignorance is a state of unknowing that can be changed. Stupidity is the inability to change. Ask yourself, which are you?
