And I also admit to feeling like it's kind of a cash in on the 'those kids sure love their animu!' as with Teen Titans.

I felt the same way about Teen Titans, so I can tell you that Avatar is less of a cash in, and more of an homage that surpasses most anime on television.  This goes for about every aspect of it: story, writing, animation, voice work, pacing...  (And I KNOW other people will come down on you for saying that about Teen Titans)

yeah, maximum irony for one of my biggest pet peeves being "People caring way too much about the personal tastes/beliefs of others", but that's a whole other (possibly explosive) thread.

Oh, fucking...tails on shrimp.  Jesus.  Tails should not stay on shrimp unless the shrimp are being eaten directly as finger food.

I'm baffled why shrimp is put in pasta or stir fry or ANYTHING with the fucking tails on.  It's twelve kinds of stupid, forcing you into either eating a rather unappetizing part of the shrimp that should be discarded (you know, with the rest of the fucking shell), or forcing you to remove it yourself, awkwardly, with your fork because the shrimp is already covered in cream and linguini and whatever.

Presentation can take a flying leap when it interferes with edibility so thoroughly, and the whole thing's made worse by the fact I really like shrimp.  It irks me more that it's common than that it just happens.

Don't be such a baby. Eat your shrimp tails.

I can understand where LD is coming from. I don't really care to watch Avatar either. The first few episodes didn't hook me and any of the others I saw just made me feel like I was missing something very important.

Okay, there's a pet peeve of mine. An episodic series with continuity so thick you could use it to repair a retaining wall.

At least it's only 3 seasons, unlike, say, Naruto or One Piece, which have been going on SINCE THE DAWN OF INTERNET TIME

Since I'm thinking about it now, I hate when people tell me to watch things that I've already expressed no interest or even disinterest in seeing.  I don't tell you what to watch and don't force you to watch anything I like, so it really makes me crazy when people sit and try to convince me to watch something.  It just makes me less and less interested in ever caring to see it.

People have often accused me of throwing the word "troll" around at people who don't actually deserve it.

However, you have said something unpopular, repeatedly, in a combative manner.  Given that, there are really only two possibilities:

1. You know perfectly well that this will start an argument, and are doing so intentionally.  Viz, trolling.

2. You somehow think that this will NOT result in an argument.  Which is, let's face it, dumb.

So you see, when I accuse you of trolling in this circumstance, it is actually the more complimentary of the two possibilities.  Sort of a reverse Hanlon's Razor.

You know who else has never seen Avatar?  Me.  You notice how many threads I've crossed raving about how I will never watch it and anyone who suggests anything to me, ever, should burn in hell for being such an irredeemable asshole as to say something is good and I might enjoy it?

i think there is merit in trying to defend an unpopular opinion

calling it trolling infers an evil motive

how about a new word... 'reaffirming one's opinion no matter how many people try to shout you down: gnorshing'

I think it's more just if you go out of your way to say you won't take a person's recommendation then you're just a jerk.

Trolling is a bit of  strong even if the alternative does seem to be being dumb. Honestly, tl;dr, but I read all of LD's posts and from looking at them, after the initial she goes from defending her point of why she just doesn't want to watch it, (good, and not trolling or dumb) to outright saying the people telling her to watch it are bad people for doing such (choose one of Thad's options).

Now, in her defense, berating her about it after she said she's try to watch it and didn't like it was not helping any situation. This seems like a situation of a girl going to a bar, complaining when she gets hit on, then after the flirting stops running back up to the guy and saying, "no, really, I don't want to have sex, so don't bring it up again, ok? Really, don't. I'll be sitting in that corner with my friends and the absolute last thing I want is for you come and talk to me. That corner. Me. Talking."

And then she keeps coming back and posting satellite photos of places where he used to live or work.

I actually agree with that.

I don't think I'm trolling.  I think you're an ass for saying I'm doing so though just 'cause I don't agree with what everyone else thinks.  And I put it in the pet peeves thread because it does bother me when people tell me repeatedly to watch things even after I've given them what I think is probably a fair chance.

I have a solution. Let's tie LD down and force her to watch all of Avatar. This will both legitimize her complaints AND satisfy those of us who think Avatar is a pure, undetestible good.

I'm not the least bit interested in watching Avatar either, oddly enough.  Still willing to give the devil his due, though, and accept the possibility that yes, it may be worth watching.  I just don't bring it up because people constantly bringing up stuff they don't like and getting all defensive about it when people call them out on it annoys the hell out of me (and possibly other people, too).  I mean yeah, you can despise something with every iota of your being and wish everyone involved in its perpetuation or creation dead, but that doesn't mean you can't be civil about it.

Please note that my memory does not actually extend far back enough to actually remember if I've done anything like this.  Nor does it extend far enough to tell if this is actually relevant to the conversation.
