Heh...I don't like anybody telling me how to think, about anything.

If I like something, it's because I like it, not because someone told me to. Likewise, if I don't like something, it's a decision I've made, no one made that decision for me. In general, I'm not influenced a great deal by external forces.

I am a critically endangered species.
I didn't say you listened to them. But you switch off whatsisname because he started trying to tell people what to think about guns. And criticising Heston is like sacrilege when he has tried to do the exact same thing - tell people what to think about guns.

So - you don't dislike whatsisname because he tried to tell people what to think about guns. You dislike him because he tried to tell people to be anti-guns, unlike Heston who you like and who tried to tell people not to be anti-guns.

It's a minor point.
