I have indeed read all of your posts and if you think any of it has been objective then you don't understand the meaning of the word. All of your arguments have been unfounded and illogical. They are also "supported" by articles that are either irrelevant or misleading. I gave you two examples of this in my previous post which you conveniently brushed off in your response. I am interested in the topic that this thread is supposed to be about. This isn't a Star Wars vs. Harry Potter thread.
None of the articles I have posted have been irrelevant or misleading. Articles by a leading film historian on the artistic merits and historical significance of Star Wars support my contentions reguarding the merits of the film. Articles quoting sales figures and box office receipts, not all of which were posted by me, speak directly to the heart of the argument.
You even asked for these references:
With what data are you basing that statement on? Everything I've ever read has stated the opposite.
Yet you never provided a single article, quote, or link from the vast amounts of material you imply states Harry is the more popular franchise.
You are irritated by the references because they all contradict your notions.
I understand objectivity, and objectivity involves looking at both sides of an argument, and using facts, figures, and experts to evaluate the merits of a point of view. Providing sales figures, essays published in respected cultural magazines, and numerical facts to support my side of the argument is objective.
Additionally I have proven my objectivity by conceding several points in favor of Potter. I have repeatedly stated Potter is popular and important just not on par with Star Wars. I absolutely supported the poster that said WWoHP will be bigger than Star Tours 2. I have admitted references from the books and movies have penetrated pop culture. I agreed that Harry may be selling more in-park merchandise, but since we don't have the sales figures no one know that for sure, and it isn't the slam dunk Potter fans are purporting. I totally give Harry credit,
where it is due.
If the examples you refer to me brushing off were your mean spirited characterizations of my posts or unfounded bashing of Star Wars and Harry Potter fans, then yes I did ignore them because there really isn't a counter argument to something as stupid as, "Boys between the ages of 5 and 10 enjoy all kinds of terribly unpopular things like worms and mud."
Obviously you aren't that interested the Duffy Bear topic because you have posted multiple times on this thread and have yet to offer anything related to the bear. You were one of the first people to comment on the Star Wars vs Harry Potter subject in responding to sublimesting, and are now just attacking people because you have been so soundly proven wrong, and are unable to admit it. But since you have no real arguments to make you can only attack other posters, make ridiculous statements, and complain about a thread drift you were instrumental in creating.
