In post #9, as in so many other posts, you make sweeping generalizations about people's opinions of Spike Lee and how that affects what they say about his movies.

People reply to say that not everybody hates him, and there are plenty of people who like him. People, such as quoted below, point out what is obvious to others that Spike has enough fans...

>>Spike Lee didn't become such a big name because all critics
>>and white people hate him. "A Spike Lee Joint" wouldn't be
>>mentioned in all the ads for his films if it drove people
>>away.

that is still beneficial to use his name when advertising his movies.

You respond by giving examples of critics who hate Spike, information that, valid as it may be, does not address the point the previous poster made.

Perhaps you hope the sheer volume of irrelevant information will sway the casual reader. Perhaps your only goal is to bludgeon us over the head with such ill-logic that you appear to "win" the argument through attrition.

Perhaps you just can't read.

Regardless, you are good for a few laughs. I'm glad you took the bait and joined us here on planet earth for a few hours.
