Coming from a fan of a character most people love to hate, Sam, You have to realize that not everyone liked your fave. When i first came to this MB and saw that people didint like Sam, I will be honest i took it personal...almost like since they didnt like my fave they were insulting me. There I was, a grown married woman (27), I have two kids, a great challenging job, a high IQ and I was mad over a fictional person! How silly is that! |

Here's another point to ponder...If a thread isn't started as a "bash" thread and it isn't started as a NON "bash" thread and someone posts an opinion that strikes the reader as harsh, don't post without thinking... If someone is venting and a "lover" takes offense, back OUT. Don't take the bait, don't type a response to the one that is upsetting....common sense. "You" are in control of "YOUR" actions. ("YOU" being the universal reader/poster, not you specifically Reign or FrenchMocha) I have so often seen posters get melodramatic, exaggerate the truth, go ballistic, get angry, name call and get down right nasty and personal, simply because another poster didn't like their fave. If you can't defend your fave without getting personal, then you should LEAVE! You certainly don't like someone bashing your fave in your safe haven, it ticks you off, right? Well it ticks me off when someone bashes ME for bashing their fave. |

Quote ReignOfTerror: Just comment on something you said. I do have total respect for the fanbased love threads. I do not ever go in them to even read them (even if I like the character). I try to respect that as much as I can because you all should have a safe haven for your faves. But why can't I bash that character in a thread without someone getting personal about it? I have no problem with someone defending their fave. I will debate it on an intelligent, friendly and mature way (well, as much as I can be mature that is, hee), but when the poster starts questioning MY opinion or my taste or my feelings about it, I will strike back and rip them a new one, TOO. It's not a threat, I will rip them a new one and others have seen me do it lol. It's true... Reign dislikes my fav couple (& i think my fav characters on the show as well).. but we usually have healthy arguments abt it. Plus I love her wits and sarcasm! PS: I know Reign you are a closet Liason fan!!  Stop denying the love, and come over to the bright side!

I assume that any thread that is not labeled "for fans only" open game. The characters can be either defended or bashed. Calling any poster names or insinuating they are crazy for not having the same opinion as you is wrong. I'm sure there's not any two people here that are going to agree on EVERYTHING, that's what is so fun about posting on this MB. It's nice that everyone respects the fan threads here, there are many other boards where there are no safe areas for fans. Be glad of that and let the other posts be open for all views. |

Quote ReignOfTerror: Quote Charlchris48: Quote ReignOfTerror: Quote frenchmocha83: Thought I'd add my two cents and hope it helps. For one, I honestly didn't know it was going to be a bash thread. I figured that the original poster didn't like Lulu (cuz she spelled it LooLoo), but I thought she was just venting about Lulu's scene in that show and wanted some opinions on the episode from all sides. As a Lulu fan, if I had known it was intended to be a bash thread, I probably wouldn't have gone in and said anything because, like someone said earlier, Lulu haters stay out of the love thread (Which I appreciate, btw). And Lulu lovers usually don't like to go in them because impassioned "discussions" usually occur. So I guess I'm trying to say, maybe it would help if the bash threads were labeled as such, like the love threads are. Lovers know to stay out and Haters know to go in. Just comment on something you said. I do have total respect for the fanbased love threads. I do not ever go in them to even read them (even if I like the character). I try to respect that as much as I can because you all should have a safe haven for your faves. But why can't I bash that character in a thread without someone getting personal about it? I have no problem with someone defending their fave. I will debate it on an intelligent, friendly and mature way (well, as much as I can be mature that is, hee), but when the poster starts questioning MY opinion or my taste or my feelings about it, I will strike back and rip them a new one, TOO. It's not a threat, I will rip them a new one and others have seen me do it lol. Reign, I am not trying to pick a fight with you but I respect that JoLu is not your favorite thing. Okay, We get it. We just need to breathe and remember. We have different opinions and if you don't like what I said, then let me know without getting mad at me. I went back and read my posts and I know I didn't say anything to bash anyone. I just stated my opinion. Just tell me with which post you had problems with me and I am so willing to listen to your point of view. I don't want this to get any worse than it has. I do think that thread needs to be closed because it did get pretty ugly. Let me know what you think! Well thank you. THat is a very mature thing to say (and I am one of the most immature posters on this board, just ask anyone, hee) and I really do appreciate it. Here is the thing. I bash EVERYONE on that show. My faves included. If I don't like what they did or said, I don't defend them, PERIOD (unless I am being really sarcastic). If someone wants to challenge me or debate me, bring it on but do it about THE CHARACTER and do not get personal with me. If the poster sticks to the actual topic at hand, everyone gets along, but when a poster makes stupid comments like "jealous much" or going after us about how we feel towards a character, then that's getting personal. We have as much right to hate as you do to love and if you can't debate it without getting personal, then stay out of the thread (not directing this just to you but in general). You will NEVER EVER see me in the fanbased threads bashing your fave, but when you come into a bash thread and get personal instead of just defending the character, then THAT is starting a fight, and I don't appreciate being the one blamed here, ok hon? But thanks for saying what you did, I really respect that. I understand! Lulu's yelling has been getting on my nerves also but I will defend her till the end. I am stubborn and I don't back down. If there is a problem with something I said, Just let me know. I apologize if I offended, but I just don't want this board getting ugly! This is one of the best boards to maturely state one's opinion without getting ugly. I don't go to many other MB's because this is one that I enjoy and I want to keep it that way. Let's just agree to have friendly, mature debates! Bring it ooonnn!! Happy posting!

I love a good debate, but sometimes posters get defensive and things go down hill and I bow out, usually.

It was hard to realize to realize that when someone bashed a character, they were doing just that bashing a character not me for liking that character. I have talked with Reign many times over things on this show and even if we dont agree I know she is never bashing me when she says things against the character itself. Mclovin, I could never bash you; you are nothing like Sam, heeee. I am friendly with some sam/jasam lover and liz/liason lovers and I can't stand either character. My faves change all the time but because they are just fictional characters, no one should care if I like OR HATE them. I am not bashing your mother, your children your spouse or you when I bash a character. But some of the things I have been called on this board for simply disliking a character is shameful and appalling and I am a real person, Lulu and the rest of the characters on the show, are not. |

I don't get the obsessed fan who lashes out at others simply because their very favorite character or actor/actress gets bashed. The characters aren't real so they don't care lol and I doubt the actor has time to worry about whether someone is offended for them getting bashed. I don't get the anger some posters have over other not liking who they like. I don't understand it but as long as they don't come after me personally, I can deal with it. And Charlchris48, it's just when a poster goes beyond defending their fave and says things like, "you will just have to deal with it" or "you don't know what you're talking about". Stuff like that is getting personal when it's directed to the poster in a negative way. Do you see what I mean? |

Quote ReignOfTerror: Fan bases on this board have their "LOVE" threads. I stay out of those whether I like the character or not.

What I'm seeing right now is, when someone doesn't like what is being said about their fave, they REPORT IT! OMG! This is an MB for different opinions. I have been personally bashed for not liking a character and then everyone else is punished for it when the whole thread is deleted. I am bashing CHARACTERS and I think we should be allowed to dislike who we want and post about it without it being reported by crybabies. When the title is an OBVIOUS BASH and you like that character, then STAY OUT OF THE THREAD. We don't go into your love threads and start trouble, can some of us have the same freaking COURTESY! THANKS! Finally someone said it. Half the fun is not liking certain characters who make a huge affect on the show. If you are interested in what happens, how you feel about the character matters. I could care less who anyone bashes, seems juvenile and silly to get upset over someone not liking a character, most of us are adults.... |

But I know how personal people can take it when their faves get bashed. Defending your fave is fine but attacking other posters is not. I feel like sometimes people get so caught up in their fave they have blinders on and can't fathom anything negative about them and that's just silly. Everyone on that show gets on my nerves at one point or another... Well except Maxie say anything bad about her and the gloves are off. ( just kidding) HEIDI!!!!! (psst, she's my favorite, heeee). OUCH! I think that was LE throwing something at me. heeeee. ITA (ugh, hee) with what you said. I would never bash maxie, you know that cuz you're my fave.
