Dear Walkingfeather, perhaps you would care to understand that this writer (me) was referring to many Hollywood PICTURES as “filth,” not the Hollywood people themselves. The people of Hollywood were called “idiots” in my column, not that you will like that term any better. I just prefer my meaning to be understood rather than falsely debated.
As for your saying I am using an “archaic” word that makes me sound like an “idiotic prude,” well, I guess that’s just your opinion, now isn’t it? —Especially since you misinterpreted the sentence in which I used the word “filth.”
You do not know anything about me, and your stupid name-calling is dead wrong.
You must have mis understood my post... I was saying DONT use the word filth referring to anyone or anything. Again my opinion. I dont care whom or what you were referring, it still is an ineffective and self maligning term.
I only say this as I am assuming you wrote your article to have some impact. If you were writing to convince those that are already convinced, yell “Filth, wicked, naughty” all you want. And yes, I believe it makes you “sound like and idiotic prude” (I am sure you are a sincere and intelligent person) it would be my opinion but also many others as well. I am just telling you so that you do not deride and mock yourself when your intent was the opposite. If you are preaching to the choir go right ahead.
