quote:
And speaking to you now as an American, I say that if Galactus has changed your life, you have a case for trumpeting his book! Viva la Free speech!
You're mixing up "the right to" with "a case for".
As it happens, Galactus don't matter worth a damn for me. But Jack Kirby does. And yeah, I trumpet the merits of Jack Kirby every chance I get.
When I do, I'm sure to talk about technique... about innovation... about work output... about the
reasons I can proclaim Jack Kirby to be wonderful.
What I do
not say is, "trust me guy, I've read his stuff. He's great. No, trust me here, you either have to get it or you don't. But whether you get it or not, he's still great. What do you mean how do I know he's great? Yeesh, when you understand how great he is, you'll see why he's great, okay?"
It's called "building a case for an idea, and arguing it on its merits."
"Perhaps you should take your furs and your literal interpretations to the other side of the river."
