    Did I call anyone any names, or did I say I have a suspicion that people may behave in a certain way if presented with a new set of stimuli? One is an ad homenim, one is not.

    And it's not people who 'liked' 300, but rather people who argued that all who did not like 300 were ignorant ;)

    As I said, I don't care if you liked it or not. It is 'art', after a fashion. I don't like it, and consider it rather crude and boorish. You may not. That is diversity of opinion, which is cool with me.

    Let's not hedge each other into little corners here, eh?

    I guess you meant "ad hominem", if not I'm not sure what the expression means.

    I will assume it was just a typing error.

    Argument ad hominem: "marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made." from the Merriam Webster dictionary. If it was or not ad hominem...I will let others make that judgement. I might be biased here hahaha.

    BTW the second to last part of your post is what is really important and I totally agree.
