You don't have to accept it. You should, however, realize that
others might have a wildly different point of view and an opinion. That
doesn't make them wrong, just different from your viewpoint. When you
express your *opinion* as FACT and then argue with those who don't agree
with those "facts," it incites anoyance.
The HDTV "argument" was particularly obtuse. Yes the picture is
better... quantifiably so. Yes the prices have come down... they are
still not cheap. You fail to understand that for a lot of people, TV is
not very important... whether the picture is NTSC or IMAX, it doesn't
matter to them. It's a *personal choice* on their part that you need to
be able to accept and understand.
