Take out the "on the internet" part, my point still stands. I assure you I wasn't trying to imply social ineptitude. I just don't think threads that are entirely about "I think Poster X is an idiot, what do you think?" are particularly productive. The Lex is taking this very well, but if I were on the receiving end of something like this, I'd be rather upset.

"Hahahaha I was JUST thinking today how the mindset of people - particularly critics - who always seem to be trying to find the good in things is totally alien to me. I feel that if your natural, instinctive response to a thing is revulsion or disapproval, this should only be encouraged."
the thing about this is -- and Lex, as a pop-ist, knows this, too; it's pop credo -- one's "natural, instinctive" responses to art are seldom actually natural or instinctive. which is why some of us (raising hand) are often drawn to explore the things that repel or bore or offend us. there's a lot of room for play in interrogating these "ntaural, instinctive" responses.

what happened to tennis when it went from line judge to lasers? was it a big deal?
― Fartbritz Sootzveti (Steve Shasta), Saturday, 9 October 2010 04:06 (thirteen years ago) link
it's still line judge based (apart from lets on serve, which are computerised) - line judges call the lines first, the lasers come in if a player decides to challenge (and they can only do so like...four times a set or something, to stop the more gamesmanship-minded players from challenging every single call).
it's weird to remember that there was so much debate about bringing it in - it seems such an obvious thing to do in retrospect (the technology had already been available to commentators for YEARS). pretty much everyone loves it, except roger federer. the only vague issue is that it's only available on certain courts at certain tournaments so eg most lower-ranked players won't get to use it. thought it's quite funny to see a top player on an outside court/at a smaller tournament make as if to challenge, then realise they can't.
