Second time today: please, everyone, respect others’ rights to hold and express views other than your own.
And in response to a question asked above, no, no one needs to repeat themselves. If they find themselves doing so, then that indicates they’ve already made their point of view clear and it’s time to agree to disagree.
And, for clarity, respecting others’ rights to hold and express other views means not accusing those others of failing to appreciate or understand storytelling and not continuing to insist your own interpretation is the only right one when you’ve already said that multiple times. I really think there are some posters here who should seriously consider taking a break from this thread, or at the very least cutting down on the number of posts they add here each day.
