I too would love to see healthy discussions and thats the main purpose of joining these forums........but we definately need to respect and value everyone's opinion here.... maybe we may not agree to it but then please atleast don't insult them...it can be always told in a nice way.....Live and Let Live is my motto...as they always say there are 3 sides to any argument/ discussions.....your side, my side and the right side 😊

For me some people write soo beautifully in text and POV's I really enjoy them so the forum is an open podium as i earlier stated and reasonable topics should be welcomes and discussed with open mind and when evber there is some negativity shown in a perticular discussion about the show it can be balanced with a way to bring about a positive outlook to the scenario!!

We are humans and we tend to get carried away and we want to balance our thought with the lookout of positive and negative discussion so that we can grow as a person so balancing that fact such arguments or agreement with fellow members who want to enjoy the show on a forum

So I hope from next week we see all our friends pouring out ideas and making it the way it was..
New members are also welcome to add their thoughts and strike a view of the way they look at a certian thought put by the Individual !!

I am sure constructive criticism is always welcome.....It is the personal attacks that are offensive. Everyone should be allowed to have their opinion as long as it concerns the topic at hand and not any members of this forum...... This is one of the better forum's and this is why I joined it. I hope it goes back to only discussion of topic😃

Padma, I doubt you're going to get your point across.

What an interesting array of comments after I postedšŸ˜†. Each post went up bang bang bang!!! Not sure if they are in reference to mešŸ˜‰ but it certainly looks like these posts have two key points in common a) you have to be positive about the show even if you cannot find anything positive and (or because) b) negative comments (anything that is said against the storyline, characters, promotion of misinformation etc) are associated with personal attacks upon the person who likes the show or expresses a point of view in support of it.
So Padma, as I said, if you want diversity of opinion it must be written in a postive manner (promoting and favoring the storyline, characters etc) and any criticism must be sublime and gentle so not to offend those who like the show. Get my gist?
Good luck; I suggest you start by writing about the show and seeing what happens.

Amen to that and healthy discussion by all means. But we can not put down some one or try to force our views on them using wrong langauge or call them names if things does not go our way .
We definately live in democaracy and have right to express our views postive or -tive. But then turning every post in -tive one trying to mock and follow members who are posting or expressing their view points and taunting them calling them names isn't allowed by rules. Especailly addressing them. No one is stoping any one as long as some one not try to turn or make every post -tive.
Let us not forget we may despise some one but others may love them so we give them space arguing in nicer manner and not taunting them for their choice.
example I may feel siimi always ignores abhi and takes advantage of him
other person will say simi is now his wife and he is ok with it and as a wife she has right to use her huby the way she wants since abhi does not feel that way. simi feels she depends upon abhi just like a normal wife and abhi is independnt So things can be taken in any manner.
When we try to reply to some's post I request plz let us respect their view and not hurt them and force our views on them trying to show that we are the only one who know everything and others are ignorant or less knowledgable .as each individual thinks in different manner. Most of all think of us AS A family members aND we all can have different opinions but then as a family membr we try to keep peace talking nicely putting our point across whether it is opposing or supporting.
we can discuss all issues without hurting other members feelings,Smile

Who is to arbitrate 'constructive criticism'? You? Me? Someone else? These issues have been, and will remain, subjective ... so, I find myself in disagreement with this: 'your side, my side and the right side' ... I, myself have been the brunt of overt 'ad hominem attacks', where there was inane baseless accusation ... one learns to deal with it ... it happens infrequently enough ... in most other cases however, it is impossible to sift the wheat from the chaff ... what is offensive to some is not to others ... and one can hardly be expected to be on one's 'best behavior' all the time ... that's unrealistic ... towit: 'I request plz let us respect their view and not hurt them and force our views' ... how are we all expected to know every other prevailing view?! Why are all/any views worthy of 'respect' (whatever that entails) ... how is one to determine that someone's feelings are to be/will be hurt?!
Now ... the larger points are (i) one cannot and should not be expected to restrict one's discussion only to the details of what has transpired in an episode of a serial ... that kind of position is infantile and not all of us thrive on such simplicity; (ii) seemingly oblique discussions are absolutely warranted if for no other reason than to bring about (much) needed social change ... to have these measured by, then dispositioned using someone's tape measure of insularity is arbitrary and should not be tolerated. If a topic is of little interest, steer clear of it and go elsewhere ... stop this constant juvenile carping about things one may not necessarily understand; (iii) if one introduces a 'controversial' topic that engenders interest, then be prepared for its aftermath; (iv) moderators understand the full scope of their roles and responsibilities i.e. unless there is unmistakable profanity, stifling discussion should not be the 'final solution' ... and kindly take the time to research the issue in its entirety before declaring it verboten!!
Folks - you none of you appear to have much experience of fora outside of IF ... you should see the depths to which some discussions on other sites can 'sink' (replete with vocabulary so colorful it would render one blind) ... and still be tolerated!! To most cultures outside of the 'Western World' the notion of 'free-speech' in all its manifestations, is completely alien ... well, welcome to the real world which is fast shrinking thanks to this wonderful phenomenon known as the 'internet' ... this is how it is ...

The higligthed point

Strike your point and prove it
Agreement to it is left on the individual to believe
The forum is meant to prove your outlook with the proposition as to why one see it that way.
Considering the fact one see it that way maybe others do see it and many others might ignore it and walk out.. People who wnat to prove the point relating to ones topic should have the freedom to so so and Atleast we can figure out how their approach to this story ..

A forum is to discuss all the angles and the minute details of a storyline and get the views so I would love to see everyone who has not been around and wants to be around to give it their best shot.. So I see no reason not to bring a different angle ( some may call it being negative) in how one refers to certain ways the picturization of the story is heading towards

Not sure what you mean by strike but you just have to read the board to see it. šŸ˜‰
The rest, not sure what you mean. However, I hope the post below helps answer your question.
Let me add here and what I said several months ago. If the show is good, then everyone will say the show is good. Everyone considers GoodFellas by Scorcese one of the best mafia films made. Same with The Godfather. In fact I love GoodFellas compared to The Godfather!!! People speak of Grease as a classic. Ever heard anyone trash the film Ghandi or ET? How about the film Star Wars or Jaws? If something is good everyone will praise it.
If it is bad, it is bad and everyone should be allowed to say it's bad. For example Sweet November is one of the worst love stories ever written.
Avatar was trashed by the critics and it still made billiions. James Cameron didn't shut down one critic! A man so powerful in Hollywood was not afraid of anyone speaking out against his film. So what I don't understand is why are the people here so afraid of anything negative said about KB? Even the writers to whom I sent some of these links did not get offended at what I said and never blocked me!!!
If people only want to say good things about the show, be my guest, but give everyone the right to voice their viewpoints about what they think. If someone does not like the age difference between Abhi and Simi, they should be allowed to say it. If someone doesn't like the relationship between Omi and Neetu, they should be allowed to say it. That's what forums our about and if people are too thin skinned to handle it, then the issue is about them and not the comments posted about the show.
Now that you and others have your answer, you might have a deeper understanding why I don't post here. Plus I have not watched the show since last Thursday and doubt that will change.
Thank you.

I have always been for discussions positive and negative
As a person i feel one grows with negative arguments to prove he or she is right
I like such discussions and learned a lot from them
I always look for such an outlook so that it gives me a broader spectrum to think why not that way the discussion could be tacked so I agree with many people who are on this forum or were with it since the last 5 to 6 months

If the show is good, then everyone will say the show is good.
I know the 'vox populi' would have one subscribe to the notion of absolutes ... however, in domains where humans 'preside' no absolutes exist ... so while I understand you wanting to express the opinion that some things may be 'universally' pleasing, I think it far more accurate to have relativistic stances ...
Same with The Godfather.
I absolutely detested the Godfather series (so there ... you have your disgruntled minority) ... but that's because I find the entire 'philosophy' espoused by the Cosa Nostra to be evil incarnate ... the result was a series mind-numbingly macabre (although second only to the horror of pedophilia and masochism depicted in 'The Kite Runner' which did, nevertheless, have a thread of hope and redemption) ...
why are the people here so afraid of anything negative said about KB?
Because the entire subcontinental mentality remains constricted by the strait-jacket of that archaic notion labelled 'respect' and the consequent kow-towing before 'authority'!! I have said plenty about KB that could be construed as 'negative' ... but perhaps you are speaking of/to those from a faction different from the one with which I 'interact' ... since it will be a cold day in hell before I show 'respect' for 'authority' ...
If there is a single compelling reason that would drive me from this forum it's the prevalent infantilism of a preponderance of the membership across all constituent fora on IF ... conversely, the one reason I persist is thanks to the handful of like-minded women (I think most are women) I have encountered ...
This particular thread began on a high note ... it has since, degenerated into the banal ...
