'Tis far nobler than criticizing a person's perspective on a fictional work without ever bothering to clearly point out what irks you about it.
I illustrated once that the greater purveyor of ignorance is the one who does not bother to teach. You responded by saying you much rather not explain yourself. I dashed hope upon hope and entreated to your sense of reason not to criticize by simply saying "It's stupid" and walking away at that. You responded by saying my point of view is delusional... and walking away at that.
You have done everything that rationality and ethical debate demanded that you do not do. And yes, there is a mistaken, stupid fool pursuing an ugly line of thought in this thread. You have convinced one (and doubtless many, many others) that I am not the one guilty of that offense.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
