And it makes more sense. If you hate CHB or Michael Moore or nature shows, don't read or watch them.<BR/><BR/>Applying "love it or leave it" in this case would sound like: "if that article bothers you so much, why don't you simply stop reading".<BR/><BR/>Or suggesting your friend get a divorce if he doesn't like 100% of the things she does.<BR/><BR/>Whereas if someone annoys you, you can usually not spend time with that person.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-79070681765525120392008-05-26T14:57:00.000-07:002008-05-26T14:57:00.000-07:00Pretty lame, Tim.Tim's comment was far from being ...<I>Pretty lame, Tim.</I><BR/><BR/>Tim's comment was far from being lame. It was completely appropriate. <BR/><BR/>There are few things more irritating than readers telling bloggers not to waste their time writing what they're writing. <BR/><BR/>As Tim said, if you don't like it, don't read it. Say you don't like it if you must. But don't say it was a waste of the writer's time. That's just arrogance.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-63697426987836850632008-05-26T14:36:00.000-07:002008-05-26T14:36:00.000-07:00Err, some articles are self-evidently stupid and r...Err, some articles are self-evidently stupid and rebut themselves.<BR/><BR/> And I really love the "if you don't like it, don't read it" retort, the equivilent of "why don't you marry it?" and "if you hate this country so much, why don't you leave it?"
