Well, I'm back... And this sure is a disappointing discussion to come back to, especially considering this week's episode.
I'll just leave this here and hope everyone takes it on board. There's a reason I made a point recently to stop talking about my dislike of Tadayoshi Yamamuro's work so much. I clearly have my mind made up there, and until he delivers something I like or someone else brings him up specifically
to me, I do my best to avoid the subject, or swerve it in another direction.
I'd really like to ask the same of everyone spouting negativity here, too. If all you're contributing are the same downer posts over and over -- and yes, some people's entire post history in this thread are totally composed of the same thing again and again -- then perhaps consider that it's out there, and it's not necessary to repeat it at every opportunity. Report back when you feel differently for once, then there's a new conversation to be had.
As it stands, I'm reading the same posts from the same people, receiving the same responses that are very clearly being ignored. I use Twitter to spout my tired old useless opinions; finding another avenue to vent is great. Highly recommend it!
To be clear, criticism is welcome, but please make sure you're actually criticising from a place of knowledge and reason. I'm seeing hyperbole, maddening screenshots, and wildly inaccurate statements galore. I'm seeing posts being entirely ignored for the sake of reiterating the same opinion once again. Let's try and not do that, please. Thanks!
Anyway... I'll be back in an hour or so with the entry and my full thoughts for this week.
Spoiler Alert: it's packed with positivity.
