Buddy, reread the original post. They said they enjoy Tom Clancy novels despite his politics - they didn't request suggestions for books without right wing ideologies.
Your examples continue to be irrelevant. I don't have to ask if you're confused because clearly you are
You've given up on your original point, because I showed that it was an incorrect assumption on your part. I'll repeat. A person's subjective tastes can be viewed objectively. If a person says they want to watch a musical right now, anyone can objectively judge if a movie is a musical or not.
Now you're upset because I read the original commnet, and suggested that the person might like to read some books I'd enjoyed.
As far as I can tell, you've never read any of the books involved.
The only thing I'm confused about is why you're in such a lather.
My original point was "art that is technically inferior to other art is still enjoyable" and then you talking about how a Clancy book was bad because of a technical error. You've brought up the accuracy of things multiple times when we're talking about enjoyment of art.
Up until your "are you still confused?" bullshit I thought we were having a friendly conversation. So sorry to have rustled your jimmies. I'm impressed that you've so keenly observed that I haven't read any Tom Clancy novels, though, after I told you "I've never read a Clancy novel" in my first or second reply. You're sharper than you let on!
