    That's a very interesting POV and not without it's merits. I do think it disregards some of the other context, in particular that of direct influences present in the book and artistic period of the time, that also had an impact in the book's themes, namely the exploration of human nature and it's limits, the merits and faults of revenge, and most associated with what you said, the notion of responsability.

    Personally, I think it's gotten to the point where punching is the only way to deal with it. To bad you can't punch through a screen.

    My favourite part of nerd/geek culture is where I'm too scared to actively participate because I don't want that negativity

    I'm a non-functioning human being, accidentally exited out, and didn't see my comment. This is definitely not the fight I was looking for

    Space fantasy. It has characteristics of every fantasy written after Tolkien, there's little to no science involved.

    Yup, if I end up doing it, I'll find the proper protections, go to a witch store, go to one of those christian stores for holy water; and make sure I have lighter fluid and matches on hand to burn it when I'm done.
