Alright, for real... I want your genuine opinions on this. Was I wrong? Was I out of line? Do I need to take an "Internet Etiquette" or a "Just Shut Up and Take It!" class? o_0
io9.com is a site where the community is encouraged to post comments, and other people can comment on those posts. I for one think that if you have an opposing opinion, you should make a totally new thread that is all your own, if only to avoid arguments like this one below. Eventually it could turn into the playground fights of "Nuh-uh!" "Yuh-huh!" "Is not!" "Is so!" That is MY personal belief and opinion. Apparently not everyone agrees with this and I should just shut up and take other’s opposing opinions as they bash mine, then when I retaliate, they get to whip out the card of "Don't post a comment if you can't take the ridicule of other’s opinions". Okie dokie... with THAT mentality being played, I lay down my cards of "Don't poke a wasps nest if you don't want to get stung and then bitch about being stung" and "Don't dish it out if you can't take it".
... but, I will let you decide for yourself from the following thread that I started with by posting my personal humble opinion of an article on io9.com titled "Totally Badass Trailer for Battlestar Galactica’s Cylon War Prequel, Blood and Chrome"

I completely agree that posting a new thread is with a different opinion is a great way to avoid an argument over a blog post. It's good netiquette because it does not attack someone's personal opinion, it raises an issue the author is passionate about personally in their own cybersphere.
