   I never insult people unless they really have it coming. But remember that   
   this IS a discussion forum, and that whatever you or anyone post   
   can/may/will be dissected by anyone else.   
      
   You wrote about the supposed "humane message" of the film. I was merely   
   addressing that with my follow-up post. *Is* there even a humane message   
   here? And even if so, does Deckard being a replicant himself have any impact   
   on that?
