Cop: Well, Gentlemen, your lawyer's here. Looks like he got you all out on bail. Steve Dallas: And I better get paid @#*@#*@ handsomely for it!!! Rat: Steve Dallas? Bookie Baby: Who's Steve Dallas? Pastis: Look it up, kid. Look it up.
It’s so bizarre that someone can’t say “not my cup of tea” about something without people responding in some nasty way. Alexikakos just expressed his personal disinclination in a polite way — after helpfully providing a link, even. He didn’t cast aspersions on Breathed, nor did he insult those of us who do like Bloom County, he just said he didn’t personally care for it.
People don’t react that way in real life, to someone’s face (Corzak included, I’m sure). I just enjoyed some tiramisu — if my lunch companion says “I don’t really care for tiramisu,” I certainly would never say “well then I don’t care for you, leave the table!!”
Honestly. The internet would be a much better place if more people could refrain from insult or attack when expressing a personal preference. I don’t happen to agree with you about Bloom County, Alexikakos, but I do appreciate your manners.
