    It's not really juvenile to point out that the way this thread's title is constructed could be read as kind of goosey

    Maybe

    If his post weren't such a childish tantrum over something completely insignificant

    But, here we are

    The problem with Star Wars is it doesn't have Jonathan Frakes.

    The same could be said for 99% of film and TV really.

    Everything could benefit from having Jonathan Frakes.

    I wouldn't say what Pony did was juvenile

    but it would have taken just one sentence for him to state his point

    and he instead spread it out via various paragraphs

    kinda like this

    so it was at the very least a dragged-out tirade

    he does have a point however. What you said could have been said in a shorter and less insulting manner which probably would have garnered a better response.

    This is likely where the calling it juvenile comes from.

    True, but when you insult someone and they don't react favourably, to further insult them isn't the most mature course of action.

    In short, everyone is child.

    is that how things are here

    use more than three swears in a post, suddenly it's a screaming tantrum?

    and if the person who made the post is like "not really" your response is to be smug and be like "whatever man" like you know better

    I'd say swearing is typically considered inappropriate to public decorum because those words most frequently express extreme vitriol, hate, disgust, etc., not because they're too exciting or modify expressions too much. I feel like that shouldn't be very controversial.

    And saying that your diction can convey things beyond your intentions doesn't really compare to death of the author, either.

    I don't see why anybody is arguing about which movie is better, Cloud Atlas or Looper, anyway

    Because this Friday, everybody will go to the theaters and realize Wreck-It Ralph is the true movie of the year of our Lord 2012
