[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, an analogy comparing someone liking print over online media (or vice versa) is one thing. We are not necessarily saying we DON'T like print, we are saying it is a BAD IDEA to go that route and a financial loss to do so in this day and age. Not profitable, will lose money. I love print magazines still, and buy them over digital, but there is no way I would ever tell someone in good faith that it is a smart idea for them to try and start up one of their own at this time.[/quote]

What analogy comparing someone liking print over online media? What does print versus online media have to do with the aforementioned analogy (or analogies in general) which was about rudeness/mocking? I'm very confused by the first part of your comment, as it does not make any sense, unless you are A) unsure of what an analogy is, or B) unsure of what the originally posted analogy referred to. The second part of your comment DOES make sense, though, and I agree. I wouldn't tell someone I think their idea is a smart one if I did not feel that way, or if all evidence pointed to the contrary.[/quote]

I'm sorry if I was confusing you. I meant that the original analogy was wrong with the conversation. It would have made sense if people were comparing liking print media (or "other genres") over online media (or "sci-fi" from your? analogy), but we weren't. The analogy about some people disliking sci-fi but you not telling them you think it is a worthless genre did not equal what we were talking about. We were not saying that the idea of gathering information was a worthless idea, we were saying the medium that was the main idea was not a good idea.  Maybe you meant to bring across more about being rude with your analogy, but the whole sci-fi thing kind of overshadowed that and was really not needed. You could have just said you thought people were being rude with their comments and left it at that.[/quote]

Ahh, now I see - the issue is that you've misunderstood the analogy. To clarify, the point was that it is NOT necessary to be insulting/rude when one feels something is not wonderful. Perhaps too much was being read into the analogy and the use of "sci-fi" was distracting, so, fine. I'll keep it at "a lot of these comments/commenters are incredibly rude/immature and I don't see the reason for such animosity/mocking" and leave it there. [/quote]
