[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can comment on their work. It's unnecessary to comment on who they are as people.[/quote]

Wrong. They don't just put out 'work'. They also did this interview, and showed their personalities. We get to comment. [/quote]

I get what you're saying. Still I think it's one thing to criticize their words and another thing to label them "insufferable". That just seems mean-spirited. And a quick google search could result in them seeing some of the things posted here. What would they gain?

I'm saying this because my instinct might initially be to mock them too, but I've realized it's just not right or fair or productive.[/quote]

Oh it's certainly not productive, but who cares about right of fair? They're loudmouth celebrities, and we're anonymous commenters on the internet. This is how it goes these days.

Also, haven't seen anyone in this thread be racist or vile or wish violence against them. People are just saying that they're obnoxious and pathetic, and you can't argue against that! [/quote]

You wouldn't say it to any kid you know (at least I hope not), so why do you feel this is okay? Kids say silly things. This is nothing new. These kids happen to be in the spotlight, but I don't think that gives anyone license to be cruel. I don't think we should do it to adult celebrities either, but at least they're adults. These are children. [/quote]

I'm not the person you're quoting, but I don't think that we, as an audience, have an obligation to read the NY Times article (or any other piece of media for that matter) without comment because the persons quoted are minors. The Smiths and/or whoever is working for them have chosen to put their ideas out there for public consumption. And we, as members of the public, may choose to consume or vomit on it, as we see fit. [/quote]

I'm the original person who was quoted. I do think we are free to comment. About their words, their work, and that's fine,  etc. It's just mean to comment about "them." Of course we have the "right" to do it. That doesn't mean we should.[/quote]
