Can't Post
|
|
i absolutely acknowledge any poster's right to post negative comments about the appearance of a celebrity / actor / etc., as long as they are in accordance with the boards rules of conduct. having said that, i'd like to offer counterpoint to negative comments that i frequently see on the boards. things like... someone is ugly or weird-looking or... well, i'm sure you've seen plenty of examples. it really disheartens me to see posts that disparage someone's physical appearance -- including the ones that critique beauty and try to assess who is more "perfect," who is more "beautiful," "better-looking." this seems a fool's errand, and also a poisonous one. aside from the ridiculousness of judging someone by that person's appearance in such a superficial way, beauty and appeal are of course very variable. what one person does not find appealing, another might. also, as we grow and experience life, we appreciate our fellow human beings more, and aren't so straightjacketed to think only certain forms are worth being admired. i'm trying not to be too specific, because i don't mean to single out any poster in particular. i just want to go on record to say that it would be a step in the right direction to making the world a better place if we didn't belittle other people's looks, and set ourselves up as judges on the appearance of other human beings. thanks for listening. .
aka. fili orc-enshield +++++++++++++++++++ the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield." this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel telpemairo
