I loved the show MASH... BUT....

[Brian37]

No. I loved my late mother, a very real human being. But sure, when she took communion I did hate that. Not her, but the logic itself.

I loved Radar's kindness as a character, as much as I loved my real mother's unwavering support she gave me my entire life.

But when I use the word "hate" I don't mean in a " I want you dead or arrested" mentality.

More like if you had a friend or family member who went around every day saying, "The Cleveland Browns beat the Washington Capitals in Wimbledon Tennis". I may like or love you as a friend or family member. But if you kept on repeating that shit, it would bother me to the point of wanting to correct you.

Yes, absurd claims can and do drive me nuts. No, that does not mean I am going to have you arrested or murdered or oppress you.

Oh, ok.  that makes sense.  See, when you said, 'I hate the Radar character', I thought you meant 'I hate the Radar character', when you clearly meant something completely different.  Silly me.

You skipped over the part where I said I loved his kindness. Yes, I do hate the motif where he completed people's sentences and where he'd say "choppers are coming" before you heard the sound effects of choppers.

Now again, go back, watch the video of the real man the character was based on and interviewed. Neither you or I knew each other back then. So how is it the interviewer, whom neither you or I met,  thought to ask him about ESP if I was the only person in the world to think the same thing. You think an interviewer who never met me had some magic power back then to consider my objection to claims of ESP? That would be ESP itself.

Because like me, even back then, other viewers, that I never met, thought the same thing, that ESP was bullshit. Why ask that question if nobody bought the claims of ESP?
