Re: Now with *SP* (was Re: I've become attached...

In Response To: Re: Now with *SP* (was Re: I've become attached... (General Battuta)


: I think the statement you're directly referencing contains something new: an
: argument about the utility of body language vs. dialogue in illustrating a
: character. Was that unclear?

What was unclear was what your post ADDED to the conversation. We already knew you weren't invested. Steve explained what worked for him - you basically said "nope, doesn't do it for me." Well, we knew that already - since you've said, over and over and over and over and over again that you don't feel like any of the characters have been fleshed out sufficiently for you to care about them. (It would have been a shock, in fact, had you said "hmm, I didn't consider the body language - now that you mention it, I can totally sympathize with these characters!")

: Should I take this as an administrative directive to stop discussing the
: topic?

No, I'm simply asking you to consider whether you need to respond to posts that disagree with your point of view, if all you plan to add is "I disagree". Your point of view has been made abundantly clear at this stage - if that's all you're adding, let the post go by without comment.

(Your followup to this post is a fine model of adding new content, by the way. You've expressed the same opinion again, of course - but you've also given an example of where body language COULD have been used to better effect.)

I'm just asking you to think twice before posting, is all. Thanks.
