    You then also proceeded to suggest that Tove’s real reason for refusing him, was not being interested in working “that hard” to realize her vision.

        Maybe she just didn’t want to deal with the major hassle of having creative control of a movie that would have taken a couple years to produce. I could definitely see that.

          A ‘maybe’ (IMO) is an implication that a person is exploring an idea of something, just like putting an idea out there to see how it floats. In any case, in no shape, or way did I do the following:

          …suggest that Tove’s real reason for refusing him, was not being interested in working “that hard” to realize her vision.

          Not what I said at all, mate.

            That is hardly an outrageous paraphrasing. The reason I used it was illustrate a fairly obvious adverse interpretation of what you wrote, which you probably missed.

            Yes. A “suggestion” if you will.

                Were lightly toasting each other, at most.

                You felt that pointing out Walt Disney’s more industrious methods around art was on the strong side. You also went on to dismiss this as the reason Tove would have been uninterested in working with Disney, and instead floated the idea that Disney was too much of a “hassle” for her.

                I reinforced my view on the first and added why the second was a pretty tactless take.

                At this point you assumed I held a bunch of positions I don’t, to which I replied with a correction.

                After that you’ve pretty much just been splitting hairs on my actual position.

                To you, being normal “for the time” is an excuse. To me, it is not.

                  Excellent point. Yeah, you may be right.
