As someone very new to this list, it really seemed to me that Kakki was just trying to give something to think about. It certainly sparked debate and made me think. I like good cinema but at what price in this instance? I think everyone is off the track a little and the way this whole thing got to people just shows that Kakki was right in bringing this up. It's an issue.

Despite, or maybe because of that, I want to say that I totally support you on this issue, in the light of this unseemly sniping, although I'm not sure two people counts as "Kakki bashing" (and I know it wasn't you who used that phrase) No, that was me. I am not sure just exactly how many it takes to constitute a bash. 3? 12? Webster defines it as -to engage in harsh, accusatory criticism. Sounds like that fits the bill. I often don't agree with Kakki either on politics, although many times I do, but I read each and every post she puts forth here. Why? Because she is informed and makes her points concisely, passionately, and without getting personal, although on occasion she has had to delve into the latter, a bit, when attacked, but more often than not she doesn't even engage in that. It seems as if she and her posts are always held to a different standard than anyone else. I can only surmise it is because of her stances on different subjects that are often at odds with the consensus, here on the JMDL. I appreciate her and her views. mack
