Not on this PC…

In other news, is anyone else's browser constantly freezing and crashing on the A.V. Club, especially on the homepage? Anyone who doesn't use AdBlock, that is. Between this and the T.V. Club cancellations, it feels like the site doesn't want me to visit here anymore. It almost feels like it's… game over for me. Man.

No real way to disprove your anecdotal evidence about the profile and motivations of some critics, but does that make their criticisms invalid?

Which you are basing on two things: a dream, which you yourself claimed merely aren't "sure was not real", and the uniqueness of you claims, the evidence of which is, as you say, that "you haven't heard anyone else make them".

Why must we?

Should we take any unique claim at face value?

If someone else were to make similar claims, should we believe them or not, and why?

Since you seem uninterested in our previous thread of discussion, let me ask you these two questions:
