Tell me about it. I and a couple others have already had it out with
'Anybody' about BSG in, oddly enough, a 'Knight Rider' (yup, the show with
the talking car :-P ) newsgroup, as that franchise is also thinking about
making a big-screen movie, and 'Anybody' had to chirp in and tell us how
much it would suck. As for the BSG argument, I and another person asked
several questions as plain as day, yet Anybody refused to answer them based
on the fact that I was a 'troll' and the other guy was just stupid. But,
can't win 'em all eh? I actually feel sorry for Anybody. He seems to be
stuck in his own little world where everyone is against him and 'Hollyweird'
is out to get him. But, I, you, and many others have tried to reason with
him, only to come to the conclusion that 'Anybody' is truly 'Nobody'. Should
he decide to engage in further mature conversation, I myself would be happy
to do so as well, but I think he is stuck on 'playback' and will not change.
