Ooh... I made F_W

Le grand sigh.

Something else to ignore

F_W does not understand the difference between a rant and a reasoned opinion.

And sometimes, apparently, neither does FictionAlley.

F_W is silly.

Oh, Gwen, why don't you just leave the fandom already, okay? ;-)

It just goes to show that some people have no sense of humour. Or take themselves too seriously. Or both. Or whatever. ::grin::

You want to know my little secret? I haven't even read the entire interview yet. I got about half way through and decided I just couldn't be bothered. I think (well, I know) that this says more about me than it does about JKR or the books or anyone else . . . I've just lost the extreme level of interest in the whole thing that I once had, and a few little tidbits isn't enough to get me excited. I want book 6. Well, actually, I want book 7, truth be told. :-)

Oh - and if I'm not mistaken, I believe you'll also find "Criminently" in The Aristocats.

Yes, you're right - because Napoleon is voiced by the same actor.... can't remember his name... he was in every old western back in the 50's... and they lifted the line/pattern of speech. And if I'm not mistaken, Lafayette is the same voice as Trigger.

I love the classic Disney films.

I love the classic Disney films

Hee hee . . . me, too. Although I hadn't really watched most of them in ages up until a few years ago, but now Connor is a HUGE Disney fan, too, so we watch them a lot.

And the actor's name is Pat Buttram (although I'm not sure about the spelling). I didn't know he was in any "regular" movies, though (although it makes sense that he would be) ::grin::. I think it's so cool to watch the Disney films from that era, though, and hear the same voices pop up again and again. I love Phil Harris (Baloo, Little John, Thomas O'Malley), too.

And there's a whole new "stable" now . . . I think mostly of John Goodman and John Ratzenberg. I do love Disney. ::grin::

Rant vs. reasoned opinion

[(Anonymous)]

I think they both do understand the difference between a rant and a reasoned opinion. Reasoned opinions don't usually go in for self-important hyperbole. Saying something is a rant does not give the ranter the license to be ugly, mean, or cruel.

Thank you for giving me a useful argumentative tool. Next time someone asks me to illustrate what I mean by "irony" I shall say: "You know: like characterising someone as "ugly, mean or cruel" in a post one doesn't have the guts to sign one's name to".
