Some forums on IF have got some of most ridiculous rules I've ever seen on any board.

No comparisons allowed - I can't stand this one! It's so frickin' annoying. What's wrong if you compare CHARACTERS from a show? Isn't that what forums are meant for? But no, it might break a few fragile little hearts into a million pieces. So folks, better keep the place peaceful and serene. WTF? My favourite argument is 'They are both good in their own ways. So let's not compare.' Er, say what? If there are grounds for comparison, then why not? I mean sure, you can't compare a singer to an actor or a writer to a painter, but you can compare two soap actors or characters, can't you? Lord.

No bashing allowed - I simply HATE, LOATHE, DESPISE and ABHOR this rule. I don't know where to begin with its drawbacks. One, a general "forum" refers to a place where you discuss something. And when you discuss a show, it means you talk about the good, the bad and the ugly. No bashing wouldn't classify as DISCUSSING the show. It would classify as PRAISING it. There's a world of difference between the two words. There are fan clubs for praising something. Open them up and stick to your little appreciation threads or whatever if you are faint-hearted. Ignore the haters if you can't handle their comments. Everything and everyone from celebrities to politicians to religions to races are bashed all over the internet. Why does the sensitivity come into play for these do takke ke ghatiya fictional couples? I'd understand if the issue here was racism or perhaps bashing a real person. But please, just because someone can't stand your character/couple doesn't mean the world has come to an end. So stop whining about the negativity and the "ruthless" bashing that hurts you. *rolls eyes*

Discussing an actor's personal life isn't allowed - LMFAO! Oh man, excuse me as I spend the next ten minutes laughing my butt off. Is this rule for real? If the entire world adopted this policy, all the people working for the media and tabloids would become bhikaris. Gossip, controversies and false allegations come with the package when you sign up to be a celebrity. The entire world discusses the personal lives of celebrities. Everywhere you go, from Facebook to Youtube to Twitter to Myspace - celebs are discussed to death and each detail about their personal lives is dissected to bits. There are rabid fan-wars taking place every second on the net over one celebrity or the other. So what makes the prestigious INDIA FORUMS so special? Oh and speaking of IF, their hypocrisy astounds me - discussing movie actors in the Bollywood section is fine, but OMG the poor soap actors are out of limits! Whatever.

The three rules I mentioned above are completely UNNECESSARY and make life on IF less enjoyable. If only people weren't so oversensitive around here! This place could take a lesson or two from YouTube. That place has no rules and no restraints. Yet somehow, the discussions there are better than the ones I've seen on IF. 🤔

@Mash: That was a sweet scene really, I was coming to that next LOL. You know the dynamics of the scene change well, it starts with Booth seriously attracted by how stunning she is looking (LOL he was even at loss of words literally) haha....yes he was....he knows and accepts it as a fact that she is beautiful...yet sometimes it stumps him how gorgeous she is....leaving him at loss of words. He always compliment her this way only...vaguely....which is verryy sweet to see....and i actually love it when their eyes speak rather than they themselves..... and Brennan receives the compliment well but in her characteristic cold/matter-of-fact way hahaha....lol...i wouldn't call it cold...even if her tone doesn't, her eyes warm up to him EVERY time he does something sweet for her....but yes she receives every thing in a matter-of-fact way always....waise bhi shes NOT AT ALL modest about her looks and even not......SPECIALLY not about her 'intelligence'.. and then they slowly proceed into the little conversation where their level of understanding and trust in each other can be perceived very easily, its actually nice, the way she slowly opens up to him & lays out a part of herself like Booth n Angela advised her ...very sweet but you know which BnB bit I TRULY TRULY LOVED in the episode? The bit where Booth sternly asks Brennan to respect the law and Brennan says if she can't respect the law she will at least respect HIM, catching him off guard n sorta surprising him- now THAT was a superb scene - damn good 👏yessss!!!...that WAS a superb scene....i really like whenever they intentionally or unintentionally compliment each other, show by their gestures/their dialogues how much they respect and trust each other....

@Mash: I MIGHT be able to finish the first season by the end of this week if I manage to download all the 22 episodes of the season as I planned. I downloaded 12 episodes already and there are 10 more left, I download two episodes a day, so by this week I should manage to download whole of the first season and then finish watching them by the end of the week :). And I asked my cousin n friend to inquire if any of their friends have the DVDs of the next seasons, if either of them manage to get someone with DVDs I might be able to finish the remaining seasons faster.
