PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
LOL! I don't know if you are referring to something specific in this subthread or to things overall. In my view, re. things overall, the tensions have built for over a year, and missy or source spoilers in general aren't the sole cause of that, but I tend to view specific examples of those tensions boiling up as symptoms of the problem.
In some cases, yes, specific posting styles may be contributing factors as well. Michel is a valuable contributor but sometimes argumentative, and prone sometimes to making comments about other posters. That sort of thing should be avoided, if only because it tends to take threads off topic. It hasn't been helpful to have Veruca's thread go off topic in that way, obviously, but I have tried to view such matters as symptomatic.
Some things are better handled by PMs to the parties concerned, unpleasant as that may become, or even by alerts to the administration as a last resort (they are busy enough).
Or we could have designated controversy threads I suppose.
