Criticism is allowed, but you go too far in your criticism of public figures and it turns into personal attacks.

Posted by: accountant_4_Jesus (a.k.a ) on Jul 22, 18:03 in response to Mr. Smitherz's post What you're doing is a very personal, hurtful attack on...

Remember that time when you launched a personal attack on an actress on another website and the website owner censored the comments (including your personal attack on her) after the actress decided she wasn't going to be interviewed by them? That was completely unwarranted, and an illustration of what I'm trying to explain to you that you're doing wrong.

Criticising a person's actions isn't the same as saying "they're ugly and an $#%!hole" etc, which you do quite often. Fair enough, if what someone did is wrong (like Christian Bale being mean to crew on set), then say so, but do it in a way that is level-headed and only states the facts, and don't overstep the mark and say things like "they're a slimy rotten bastard and deserve to rot in hell" or other personal insults like that. If you have a personal opinion about someone not being very good, phrase it in a polite way instead of saying "Bale the $@!#hole" etc.

As for me not telling you how you should live your life, you're right, I have no right. But God does have that right, and every time you mouth off about public figures and start personally attacking them you're disobeying Him in the way we should speak. *That* was my point.

"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."

Also on that note, if you felt that my original post was a personal attack, it was not meant to be, and I apologize.

Chris Nolan's statement on the shooting tragedy. Well said, IMHO. elchan Jul 20, 16:35

Pfft. Like he really cares outside of the possibility of how much money it could cost the movie. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 20, 17:11

Guarantee Bale the a-hole doesn't care. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 20, 17:12

Are you Christopher Nolan? No. Are you Christian Bale? No. accountant_4_Jesus Jul 21, 19:44

Mean-spirited comments from someone who claims to be. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 02:09

a Christian yet clearly doesn't pactice what he preaches. My comments were directed towards people who are public figures. Yours aren't {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 02:11

You {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 02:11

TMZ does the same thing all the time. Given what we know about Bale, he seems like an egotistical prick. See: Terminator audio {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 02:24

It would be nice if the admin would actually follow through on its bylaws and stop allowing these personal attacks on me, Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 02:14

I made many positive comments regarding PIRA2 and other films. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 02:26

So if someone's a public figure we then automatically get a free ticket to insult and badmouth them? accountant_4_Jesus Jul 22, 08:07

Yeah, being a public figure does allow others to badmouth them. It's the law. Look it up. Stop your patronizing, offensive sermonizing. Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 08:35

What you're doing is a very personal, hurtful attack on me. You are purposefully pushing my buttons to antagonize me. Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 08:44

Criticism is allowed, but you go too far in your criticism of public figures and it turns into personal attacks. accountant_4_Jesus Jul 22, 18:03

After the events in Colorado, you'd think you would act with more kindness to "outcasts" like me (as others have called me). Did that teach Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 16:07

Given the fervor over critics being threatened because of TDKR reviews, Nolan obviously inspires something not good in people. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 21, 01:26

Ya, strong emotions. DTravel Jul 21, 09:48

It's certainly possible his dark, violent films affected the shooter and somehow encouraged his actions in his mind. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 22, 02:16
