Well, maybe we can stop feeling upset by and instead ...

... try to understand people with other opinions? I'm not very good at this myself but I want to try :-)
I don't understand what's going on on this message board, and I don't know if it's really helping.
Many of the threads and posts these days seem to me like many people are trying to work together with the purpose of convincing the others of how amazing the hobbit movies are.
But the sheer amount of posts at least to me does not have that effect. Restating the same arguments over and over again does not convince me at all. And I guess it's the same the other way round?
- People who love the hobbit movies are equally frustrated and it seems to them that their opinions are not understood by the others?
And so we all keep repeating ... the same things ... and does anything good come out of this?
I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to just put our opinion on the hobbit movies in our signatures or profiles or something. Rather than state and restate them again and again ...
But then, again, we can also just continue as we do. I for my part will then try to use this dynamic as an excercise in not feeling upset and instead carefully listening, trying to understand, even when I disagree.
[Sorry Paulo Gabriel, this is a long post, it's a reaction to a dynamic I'm observing, which your post reminded me of, not a reaction to your post alone. I hope that's okay.]
