Ivy, I have listened carefully to all you have said, and I appreciate your telling me your thought. I think, however, that it is now time to sort of wrap up this discussion with something that kijjohnson and I often say to each other, which has deep roots in our mutual respect for each other.
You can make different decisions than I do.
I can see that my decision to see the movie enrages you. I'm sorry, but as I said in my original post I couldn't and won't speak for anyone else but myself on whether they should see this movie, but for me seeing it was the right decision. I would appreciate receiving the same respect from you. You may not understand it, you may think it's wrong, but my going to see this movie was not a whim, not an impulse and not a lark, but a carefully considered decision. I would ask you, as a friend, to please respect my point of view and leave off trying to convince me I was wrong to do so.

I stand by my decision.
