Perhaps I was just responding to the presumptuousness that might have been in your post that followed mine to R6dw6C's. This was my post:

An acquaintance of mine has also shared his changing perceptions on Cronenberg recently by saying he's lost his edge and is now being led around by Big Central Themes and is basically cruising on his reputation. I disagree with him of course, but I don't know if I would say he's subtly turned into a more pensive purveyor of gentle humanness. I found evidence of this in The Fly when he allowed the sadness of the human core be stated. Perhaps its always been there. Or perhaps the fact he's worked on 2 similar films now by source materials other than his own has indeed given him more to flesh out.

And I think it was pretty clear when I added: "I disagree with him of course" after I paraphrased the aforementioned acquaintance's (and subsequently disagreed with) different point of view from the rest of us in the context of furthering a discussion on the "changing perceptions on Cronenberg".
