An Apology
I apologise to everyone for my outspoken criticism of Doctor Who (specifically, Tennant's era of Dr Who). I have been rather harsh, and I am sorry if I have offended anyone.

I have no idea what you're talking about, therefore I cannot accept your apology.

eek, I posted on the Doctor Who thread last night; really hope my opinions/comments weren't an instigating factor in this apology - I certainly didnt take the slightest offense to Loremaster's posts, whilst our opinions on the show differed it certainly didnt bother me one bit - also Loremaster, you're not the only one that finds the Tennant/Davies combo undesirable : www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/board/flat/84240728 - lots of disgruntled Dr. Who fans there !

It takes alot of maturity to present the other side of the argument. I have not done so.

aw thanks Loremaster - don't be hard on yourself though, you're obviously a very passionate Dr Who fan; I'm merely a casual watcher - and as that IMDb thread shows, you're not alone in your disillusionment - there's a lot of long-time fans of the show out there that have been quite turned off by Davies and Tennant ..It takes alot of maturity to present the other side of the argument. I have not done so. You've earned my respect, Sleepless One.
I was reading last night that Catherine Tate has signed on to take over as the Doctor's companion, a choice that doesnt particularly thrill me to be honest

exactly. the only way you know if you disagree with someone or not is if you understand their position. effective disagreement.Loremaster wrote:It takes alot of maturity to present the other side of the argument.

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I disagree, which is to say I both understand and agree with what you said, and effectively, to boot.Lucimay wrote:the only way you know if you disagree with someone or not is if you understand their position. effective disagreement.

I'm offended by this so-called "Dr. Who". He has no medical license, he steals phone booths from real heroes like Superman, who needs them to fight crime, and he thinks because he's British, he understands irony better than the rest of us.
When the man with a 45 meets the man with a rifle, you said the man with a pistol is a dead man. Let's see if it's true.
