Well, it was actually a response to both. I can find no objective quality in the "Battlefield Earth" film, except for some aspects of the production design, but I haven't read the book (though what I've read of Hubbard's work doesn't encourage me to do so). And I'm not trying to be argumentative, merely pointing something out and backing up my assertion, but it's hard to communicate vocal tone or body language via printed text.

You're not the only guilty party, G. (I've done it on occasion, though it's a tendency I try to avoid.) You do tend to be the most conspicuous party, though, since you do tend to post so much, and make such statements with a corresponding frequency.
