Here goes your fun, say anything.
Hi Bondtoys,
I think you are feeling ganged up on for standing up for what you believe, and that the Old Guard Magnum fans consider you a heretic.
But they aren't going to put you in the Dunking Chair and submerge you like a witch in the 1700's, where an accused who sank was considered innocent, while floating
indicated witchcraft. The Catch 22 being if you sank and thus innocent you drowned.
These guys make their point with humor, and if you can engage in One Upmanship with them in the same vein you can have fun.
Like monkeys in the zoo anyone can fling poo at each other but it quickly gets old, whereas banter entertains all.
Am I wrong or did you indicate in a prior post you were from Europe? If so maybe there is a cultural difference at work here and the spirit of
trashing your friends at a get together doesn't translate well, but it's pure NYC/Jersey/East Coast and other areas standard repartee for males.
Keep asserting your views against the majority, Bond, it reflects well on you but if you were exposed to some great TV like Naked City or The Sopranos
you might well lower your opinion of the 2nd rate but perhaps eventually adequate entertainment known as the Magnum reboot.
