Non Knee-Jerk Takes

[KillerLeft]

If each of us just want to start our own thread saying this is a non knee jerk reaction thread and then spam the board with our own views that is not the best approach.

I'm not disagreeing with your thoughts on this, but I think you're misinterpreting Jommy, somewhat. 

I think you're taking the term "knee-jerk" as if it's a slight to your side of the argument, and to you personally, by extension. I don't think that's the case at all (could be wrong). I think the term was used largely humorously, as a "cool" way of saying "let's get some more thought out thoughts about this." 

I agree with you that there were many good posts in the original thread, but I also know that many readers find it tiresome to keep up with the super-threads and would prefer conversations like this to be spread out into smaller, shorter ones. I suspect that was tied into Jommy's motivation here, too. 

And not to sound like a broken record, but I feel like it's possible to hate a move, and I mean really LOATHE it, without trying to make everyone here as miserable as possible (not that you would do that, Hakeem). I think that's playing into Jommy's use of the "knee-jerk," but not because he disagrees with the POV being expressed. I think it's more about how it's being expressed. 

Your posts are always awesome, even when I disagree with every word (which is very rare). I doubt anyone would ever accuse you of knee-jerking.
