Ignoring the fact that my sarcasm whooshed over your head, I'll simply ask, is this where we measure? Pointless don't you think, since it's simply each person's word? I can make the same statement, but I'll merely point out that I'm not the bonehead who missed the point and instead went into an explanation about how indentation works. If you're going to try to convince someone you're smart, try really hard not to look dumb first. It makes your argument so much more convincing, don't you think?
And if you go any slower, I'll fall asleep
As evidenced by the fact that you took the time to write a 600+ word reply.
>The company is a CO-OP.
No, they are not
http://www.mycleanflicks.com/viewfaq.phtml?7:
MyCleanFlicks is a Co-operative rental club. All subscribers to our service become members of the Co-op.
Do tell, Einstein.
>This is a very basic point. Every day people press the mute or FF buttons on movies. They must do so manually, and the effect is crude. All this company has done is make that process more efficient.
Untrue. When someone manually fast forwards or mutes dialog, they are aware of it. When Clean Flicks does it, they often are not. The viewer often has no way to know what he/she was missing or even that material was deleted.
But THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO ENTRUST THAT DECISION to someone else. That is within their power. You just don't seem to catching on to that. They choose to get an unedited movie, or one which has been edited. They're not having the edited version crammed down they're throats. But you would have even the power to make that choice taken from them.
>Oh, so now, in addition to telling me what I should and shouldn't see, you're telling me what I have and haven't seen... ?
Still playing games, I see. Why don't you just admit that your comments were based on the incorrect belief that Clean Flicks only rented out DVDs?
We talk about trickery and misleading, but this was the most straightforward comment. I talked about what I had seen in news stories. You then proceeded to tell me that I thought what I had seen was comprehensive no doubt, because that what you would have believed. Wouldn't it be shrewd to conclude that one hasn't learned everything about a subject after seeing a couple news segments? Wouldn't only the less mentally adept presume they know everything about a subject after such little exposure. Apparently, you not only fall into the latter category, but are unwilling to credit other people with the circumspection to do otherwise. Apparently, you just can't believe there are people around smarter than you. Well, that's what you said:
it's VERY unlikely that you are my intellectual equal, much less superior.
