The thing is that Smith had an opinion (like everybody) on Magnolia. He was disappointed in it because he had higher hopes after liking "Boogie Nights" so much. And he expressed his opinion on the movie. Does that mean he hates PTA? No. Does that mean he even hates "Magnolia"? No. He's repeated said otherwise. He expressed an opinion on a movie that he didn't like as much as he wanted to. Then it gets blown out of proportion by fans of either of the two directors. I doubt PTA really cares (and I can't imagine that he'd be offended by the off-hand Magnolia fan comment in J&SBSB), especially not enough to "retaliate".
