Okay, you are incapable of accepting factual reality. Like I said before, enjoy your delusion. Jay Leno fades into irrelevance and Conan remains on the air. Facts.

The train of events that lead to Jay Leno and NBC's unethical move to steal the Tonight Show back from Conan isn't "opinion". It's documented fact. Your willful dismissal of fact does not give me cause for desperation. It makes me wary of engaging someone unwilling or unable to digest reality versus what they want to

"You're entitled to your own opinion but not entitled to your own "facts". You really haven't refuted anything I've said."

I assume it's someone who works for Leno or NBC. They speak as "informed" yet don't seem to grasp how business works, or how facts trump opinion.

Shhh! You'll anger the masses! Don't poke holes in the bubble of self-satisfaction… ;)

LMAO!! Yes, yes….when the facts don't line up with what you want, it must be "brainwashed by the {liberal} media".

Really good idea! That didn't even occur to me! Nice!

I walk back nothing. I said it's a pointless barometer of nothing substantial, and doesn't actually address real problems. Especially this supposed "test". That is totally different than "having a beef with the whole idea". Stop trying to bend my statements to justify your erroneous outrage.

"When people are having a conversation I don't wish to be a part of, I just…don't take part in the conversation. I don't roll in and start upbraiding people for having it in the first place. So no, of course you don't have the power to actually shut down a conversation; you just stated that the conversation was stupid

Then we're not speaking the same language. Where did I expect "conversations about gender representation in media to grind to a halt"? Please point to the example of how I tried to "shut down" any conversation about the subject. All I've done is state my opinion that this "test" is absurd and there are better things

Wow. Winston, I don't know what crawled up your ass tonight. But I couldn't be more tolerant or rational with you than I have been. Especially considering you've been acting like a petulant ass for no apparent reason. Get the fuck over yourself.

I was talking to you, not at or down to you. If I wanted to do that, I'd just fly off the handle or say "fuck you". I've been open, honest, and rational with you every step of the way. But, you still want to find the "boogeyman" in my words, no matter what I say. That's fine. Go be mad. I'll still be around when you

"Here's the thing - why do you assume, as you seem too, that people who care about representation in media also don't care about the other issues you've raised?"

"Genuinely, is all media criticism pointless in your view, or just gender-based criticism?"

"Your contention so far has been that being concerned about gender representation in media is tantamount to racism and is a "white girl first world problem."

Okay, either you're drunk or you are incapable of reading. You have assigned a sin to me I am not guilty of, and have now decided to attack me personally over it. So, you can either sober up, read what I wrote, and understand the words on the screen, or you can continue to just throw a tantrum at me. Your choice.

Conan did nothing to Lopez at all. Again, I don't know where you are getting your facts from, but it appears to be your overly-biased imagination.

And you would appear to be wiiiiiildly overreacting under a false assumption.

Then you need to rethink your own emotions, man. I am not "outright dismissing" anything at all. I mean, other than this silly "Bechdel Test", as it's pretty fucking irrelevant in the scheme of things. I don't dismiss actual feminism. Like I said, recheck yourself and try again.

Insightful and enlightening. Thank you!
