These "borrowings" may be unconscious to some degree, but I wouldn't have written what I wrote and have gone out on a limb like that without some conviction that they most likely are not unconscious. It doesn't make the "borrowers" less of a person really because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it does make them slightly less original than they may seem to the casual reader.
Far too many, it seems, have their petty axe to grind, like truncated's or acousticrock87's last post in which they transparently attempt to exact revenge on me for some previous post I made about them that was too filled with truth for their liking and comfort level. My last post was not about revenge, it was about clarification. After all, revenge is borne out of deceit & subterfuge, something that I try to stay clear from, unlike what I see from the people that mount offensives against me because the truth I have written at some point made them uncomfortable.
I've never seen any of the "Saw" movies but I can still unequivocally state that they are trash of the highest order & that I will never view them. To be perfectly honest, I look down my nose at those that enjoy those types of movies. Please bear in mind, if you will, that Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" is my third favorite film.
