You are incapable of listening to it for yourself?
Years ago, I believe, the movie industry was barred from taking whatever snipets of a critic's review they wanted and putting it on marketing material as if THAT was the actual quote or intent of the sentence. It is super misleading.
And that's exactly what you're doing by taking whatever portion of the quote you wish and putting it out there as a complete piece if information. This "conversation" you're trying to have is based off of twisted bullshit because it's incomplete and misleading. You're cherry picking sentences to mislead.
Movie critic: "The director did a fantastic job on special effects. The actors were terrible, however."
Movie ad: "The director did a fantastic job on special effects".
^ By cherry picking and not including the entire thought or quote or at least providing context, you're purposefully deceiving. It's a form of lying and misleading. A con, if you will. That's why people think it's a DBag thing to do. Not calling you a DBag or personally attacking you, but it's a conversation that goes nowhere because the information is incomplete and misleading to sway opinion. That's why people get honked off. #Dbagthingtodo
