That is rhetorical.

In fact, that is a purely rhetorical question.

That is an amazingly purely rhetorical question.

You don't want an answer from the question, you are making a statement with a question.

That is why we ask rhetorical questions.

With that question, you a suggesting that its wrong for people to suggest that people who didn't like 'She Hate Me' "didn't get it."

And that is okay.

But to attempt to make a rhetorical question un-rhetoricl actually makes you look a bit worse.

Just admit it.

>Or, in your case, why you assume those who don't like it
>have something against Spike."

Another rhetorical question.

Not asked to be answered, but asked to communicate a point, in this case, "Orbit, not everyone who dislikes a Spike movie dislikes Spike. You can dislike a Spike movie simply because you dislike it."

You rephrased that in the form of a question.

Hence my declaration that you ask rhetorical questions.

Damn, I'm good.

>If you don't want to answer, fine. But don't assume it
>wasn't a real question.

No, I know they were rhetorical questions.

>Or is it that you can't answer?

Rhetorical questions?

They are fun for college freshman to work on their logic skills. You know, late nights in dormitories.

But not for people who know better.

Like the Orbster.
