Intellectual bully? Scared off? Good lord! Am I that intimidating? Why do you always think the worst of people? Bullying is not even in my nature. Why would anyone be afraid to state their opinion? It's not like I can reach through cyber space and grab anyone. And I don't think you scare that easily.

Okay, here's the deal. I don't have a "policy" against negative comments about Finn. I don't mind when people criticize the character fairly. Finn was no saint. If you said that he was a coward for not telling Raven the truth about Clarke, I'd agree with you 100%. It's a fair criticism. But if you said that he deliberately manipulated Raven and Clarke for his own personal satisfaction, I'd challenge the logic and fairness of the statement because it's not true. If anything, they manipulated him. (BTW, someone on Twitter actually said that.)

Sure, I would love it if you'd reconsider certain opinions based on my rebuttals, but if you don't - c'est la vie. You're entitled to keep them. And by now, I know you're not going to change your mind. But I'm still going to challenge your reasoning if I think you're wrong. That's not bullying. That's just setting forth another opinion based on facts and logic.

No one has a monopoly on truth. I try to stay open to that. If you can convince me with logic that I'm wrong, I'll concede. I try not to let pride get in the way. I have to say though, that you seem to have an animous toward this character that's really puzzling to me. But hey, I don't like Indra. Some people thinks she's awesome. I don't go around trying to convince them that she's a sadistic, vengeful, hateful bitch. If I don't have something nice to say, I just leave it alone. But, that's just me.
