If you dislike someone, it doesn't mean that they should change. It doesn't mean, that you have the right to expect them to change either. All it means is that you may hope they change. You cannot demand it.Love2hateU is a new TV show on star world, where, a celebrity gets to meet with his anti-fan(Someone who obsessively hates the celeb) . What it manages to do, is make the anti-fan look like a spiteful lil ass-face, who doesn't have much better to do in life than sit around and pass judgement and criticism while at the same-time not having achieved half as much themselves.
When I write a bad review for the Dirty Picture, I understand, and hopefully so does the reader, that, that is my personal opinion. That just because I didn't like it does not imply that its existence is unwarranted(Even when I may say that). And quite blatantly put, my single personal opinion doesn't count. A viewer's opinion is important alright, but only in the masses. It is stupid when you bring up your ego, and say, I have the right to tell you what to do, because you're making these movies for me.
Constructive criticism is welcome. Except, constructive criticism is about a piece of work, rarely a person. Constructive criticism, more than the criticism, mentions improvement techniques.
Anyway, the point is, that if you hate someone, and they choose that you're not important enough for them to give a shit about it, it's a fair deal. You're allowed to do the same, and so are they. Don't lose your dignity fighting like a fool over it. Its like an atheist trying to convince a room full of theists there's no God. Its hurtful to them, they have the right of belief, and no-one really knows the truth.
Like they say,
If you can't say something good, don't say anything at all.
On that same note, I have practically no respect for Judges at arts competitions who claim they know better than everyone else and that their assessment of someone's art is absolute and true. Art is perception based. What may appeal to me about a piece of art may not be what touches someone else.
When the judge is shouting at someone, saying you're arrogant, because you don't accept me saying that your dish is the worst in the room, he has 3 fingers pointing back at him, for the one that he's pointing at the contestant.
Lets be more gracious and less spiteful sometimes.

But I think it was arrogant of him, especially when he got into the competition knowing that it is the judges who decides who is the best, and considering the years of expertise, a bit of reverence could have been given.
Even for the judges, I don't mind them deciding who is the best. But what they were deciding - and that too without trying out all the dishes or for that matter the dish in question - was who is the worst.
Just because they own restaurants and have been chefs for longer doesn't give them that authority.
I mean, there are so many teachers, who's students went on to be much greater than them, even when the teachers were unable to recognize the talent you know.
Anyhow, that's just my take. I would've tried to be more humble on both accounts I suppose. :P
@thwoh: Yea, I know. Its annoying.
I didn't see the whole episode however. I don't have any patience for advert breaks any longer, now that I watch everything on my laptop :P
