    Dontcha think this is slightly too aggressive? CriticalOtaku maybe should have worded the final section more preciesely, but I think most posters on this site are entitled to a good faith reading of their comments. Especially because a lot of us here aren't actually native english speakers, so we might come across as more obnoxious than we intended to.

      You’re entitled to be disappointed and frustrated that my comment's political views don’t match your own, but maybe there are lessons to be learned here?

          now one of the aliens is giving a maudlin speech about how their harsh culture can't even speak of love (weird how he has a word for it then)

          this is the kind of shit sci-fi was doing in the 1950s in black-and-white movies like Teenager From Outer Space, just baby-brained trash

            I'm in no way defending this book, since I've not read it, and I barely have time to read the non-fiction at this point, so I'm going to let your opinion stand uncontested. I just think you should treat your fellow Hexbearians better.

              I would have if they hadn't talked to me like they were writing for The Economist

                Telling someone to fuck off is one thing. But do not, under any circumstance, accuse someone of writing like The Economist. You are better than this :hasan-smash:
