Perhaps.
It's just sort of silly; you are completely entitled to dislike Rent and to think their sticking with it is ridiculous. I don't recall that I've ever given you a hard time for that -- or honestly, that I've given
anyone a hard time for that in recent memory. But, it's more than a little ridiculous to say that the show did nothing for their careers just because you don't
like the show and think their returning to it is stupid when in fact, that's just simply not true.
I'm not sure that I necessarily owe such a diplomatic response, but it's far more a matter of logic than one of "oh, ouch, you've bruised my inner Renthead!" It doesn't hurt me to hear things like that, as much as I'm sure you'd like to believe it does; it's just annoying to hear the same old fallacy-based bullsh*t every time this comes up. I don't know, maybe it's just that I didn't want to let you get away with thinking you successfully jabbed another one where it hurts.
