Alla:

See your post 120363. 

"If they don't have sufficient imagination or
objectivity to put aside the real and immerse themselves whole-
heartedly
in the fictional, well.... I remember a fragment from another book, 
can't
remember which off-hand, but set in the future and old books are being
precied and condensed. Moby Dick is categorised thus: "Nineteenth
Century knowledge of Cetaceans was erroneous.""
It doesn't do to shine too hard a light on the wondrous"

Yes, to me to say that somebody does not have sufficient imagination 
to do something is very close to calling person stupid.



Kneasy:

Maybe I'm old fashioned. I consider my emotions to be intensely 
personal. I would find it distasteful and an imposition on others to
spread them all over a web-site. I'm of the generation that 
considered public displays of such matters to be ill-mannered and 
unnecessary.Others apparently think differently. 


Alla:

Yes, apparently they do.
