Oy. For the third time now, I was not discounting the opinion. My post was a comment on its presentation, not its content. Don't people read before they respond? And skittles and I were discussing this off the board, so I know we're on the same page: difference between "not a big deal" and "not relevant." I write. I don't expect to be considered on the same level of influence as the New York Times. But that's not hand-in-hand with being dismissed as not worth reading.
A lesson in, "you'd have been better off not saying anything at all."
Apparently the reading comprehension in this thread tonight is as bad as the show. The issue is that his opinion on the show isn't worth the hand-ringing hyperbole with which it was introduced into the thread- it's not a "serious, serious ouch" which will impact a transfer and ticket sales anymore than the post you just made.

a) no one is disputing that the guy's "review" is not going to make a whit of difference. I don't think people have reading comprehension skills and, for me at least, I got your point - you apparently didn't get mine. And is this the hand-wringing hyperbole you're referring to:
"Ow. Serious, serious ouch."
I see no hand-wringing and no hyperbole there - sorry. I see someone who read the thing and reacted to its negativity. Where is this hand-wringing hyperbole?
