<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26064232, member: 4626"]To be fair, I don't really see a contradiction here. I've seen movies I don't like, make negative comments about it, but don't say that people shouldn't see the movie if they disagree with my opinion or have different tastes. You can criticize a coin you don't like and still say if people do like it they can buy it. I don't see a problem with that, unless it crosses the line from just saying they don't like the coin (or coin-like thing) and actually directly going after people who do like it. In other words, going after someone's opinion: OK; going directly after the person holding that opinion: not OK.</p><p><br /></p><p>I admit I can get obsessive sometimes about things I do or don't like (wouldn't be a collector of various things otherwise lol) but I try to avoid stepping over that line.</p><p><br /></p><p>At some point though when I realize there's no point in trying to convince someone of something they're never going to be convinced of, and I have nothing further to add, I just relent and move on. Some battles aren't worth fighting past a certain point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people have chosen the hills they wish to die on and will never give up the fight, but I like to think I've figured out which fights aren't worth fighting, especially ones I'll never win. Some people like things I don't, some people believe things I don't, and nothing I ever say or do will change that. Some people even believe things that are provably factually wrong and refuse to budge, no matter how much evidence exists. I've resigned myself to that fact and pick my battles lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
