Takai

As for winning debates, there's no such thing. Unless it's a scientific debate and facts are involved. I do like to debate actually, friendly debate, unfortunately sooner or later it tends to cross the line and the subject of the matter is changed. Then it's only bitter and not fun anymore.

*blink* I'm starting to wonder if you understood my reply correctly. Yes, my saying that Pate was seeking negative attention was an intended personal remark. Let me reinstate the point I was originally trying to prove: Pate did not get hate just for hating this drama; Pate got hate for breaking the rules and trolling the comments area. Naturally, I provided the reasons why I thought so. However, the point you did seem to miss is the fact that I'm not having this conversation with Pate. I'm having this conversation with you and the two other people who replied to you, about a third party being Pate. Did I say anything personal about you or the two other people? No. Did you say anything personal about me? Yes. That's when it stopped being an argument. Because your only reply was a personal remark, about me.

Nowhere in my comments did I speak of you personally. We were having a discussion, about a third party, I don't know why you would be on the defensive over it. However, in my opinion, a personal remark immediately kills the debate. To the other side it'll look like you had nothing else to add (which is fine, we agree to disagree, and like you said we're not obligated to explain ourselves), but you really wanted to, and thus a completely unrelated comment is posted. That's what it looks like, that's all. I don't want to keep having the back and forward about it, just that I had to point out that commenting back and politely expressing why you agree or disagree, is not attacking; I don't like being misunderstood in such a way because I never bring in personal remarks when trying to prove a point. And yes, I will too have a good day, thank you.

*rolls eyes* I see you've ignored the rest of what I've said, are you going to attack me now? I get sarcasm, and I get trolling, all the more reasons the "review" and the member should receive proper action from MDL admins. Anyway, once again I got into a debate on the internet where most people only push their point forward and don't really listen to what other sides have to say, big mistake on my part. I'll just go back to watching the drama now and hopefully, eventually, so will everyone else, and Pate's presence will become forgotten. Definitely too much undeserved attention, and I was foolish enough to speak up and feed into it. Have a nice day, everyone.

I wouldn't rely so much on feedback if I were you, after all it varies from person to person. I mean, if you come back a few weeks later and see some bad comments, are you going to drop it? (Not accusing or anything, just curious because I personally always ignore any feedback and only rely on my own sense lol) Well, I can't say the action here is outstanding. I very much enjoy the action scenes with Song Jae Rim's character though, as short and rarely seen as they are. But then again, I can't say I'm a fan of action or someone who's seen enough to be able to tell.

What I'm trying to say is her attitude combined with her "review" is what's causing the hate. She's SO not getting the hate for "just sharing her opinion". And I still say it's foolish to be attacking her personally like some people do. The admins should be able to deal with it, and hopefully, the next update will allow for them to remove reviews that don't follow rules.

As for begging for negative attention, I happened to see this member's first appearance in the comments area here, asking if it was okay to write a review without finishing the drama. She was told no, as those are the rules, and she still did. Then started asking why did people rate it then, without finishing it. Which is really silly, like trying to counter by pointing out that others do wrong things too. We rate it in our own list, and we may change it towards the end. (On that note, I wish the ratings didn't count until the show finished airing. MyAnimeList has this system working really well, so we don't have shows that just started airing occupying Top Anime list.) Don't even start me on the comments that followed, reading something like, "why doesn't anyone heart my comments", etc.

No, bottom line is not about sharing opinions. In this particular case, bottom line is do not write a review without finishing the drama. It's stated in the rules, three or four times, in gigantic letters, I believe. If she's not gonna continue it, then there's no need to write a review. She can share her opinion on the forum, in episode discussion, in her blog, without breaking MDL rules. She even commented here, and was told it wasn't okay to write a review w/o finishing the show, but she still did. And I described this "review" (I'm sorry, but it's just not a review) the way I did because it touched on a few hate points and didn't talk about IG as a whole. The only part (s)he elaborated on was the action, and I actually agree. I don't know if people are hating on this member because they love the drama and she doesn't, but my opinion wouldn't change even if I hated this drama.

I hear you on all of what you said (including SJR) T_T

I don't think (s)he's being attacked for disliking the drama. I think (s)he's being attacked for writing a pretty baseless, unorganized, biased, and immature review, while breaking all the review rules, begging for negative attention. Giving her/him that kind of attention is, however, also immature, and the best thing to do would be to remove the "review" and have one of the admins issue a warning. But alas, people like to feed trolls on the internet.

On that note, I disagree that either one of those is more rational than the other. The act of writing a review for the entire show without watching the entire show isn't rational to begin with. That person's review is not a review of Inspiring Generation; it's a review of Inspiring Generation Episodes 1-7. That's what episode reviews are for. That's what episode discussion is for. My opinion anyway.

You're welcome, however, I'm not familiar with the manhwa and only made a guess. They definitely should fix it though; it is misleading.

The summary doesn't even make sense to me... I mean, wasn't Jung Tae accused of Gaya's father's death? Why does it mention his own father (whom I don't even remember dying while Jung Tae was at age 15)? Maybe it's the synopsis of the manhwa it was based on, or something... o.0

Why don't you stop trolling.

Oi! I posted about Mo Il Hwa below. He just might be my favorite character right now.

I hope it's Gaya so KJW's character can get the girl for once! :P

And (s)he still went and posted a "review" lol. Some people are just asking for negative attention.

I'm really, really enjoying Mo Il Hwa... Charisma, eloquence, martial arts mastery... what a character. Actually, the background cast here is amazing in general. For some reason I'm not as interested in the male lead or the two ladies.

Right? And it's such an expressive voice too. I'm into seiyuu/voice actors, so this is a real treat. He uses that voice so well.

I don't see where in my comment I disrespected that person's opinion. If anything, calling a show "utter crap" with little to no basis is more of a disrespect. And the account was created about the same time the comment was posted, I couldn't help but think that was the very reason to registering on MDL. I will admit my fault at wasting time to reply to such "opinions" though and will refrain from doing so in the future. Peace.

I'm secretly hoping for that as well, but KJW's character never gets the girl T_T
