Don't Give me Chill Pill

To all my IPK friends who have sometimes found themselves lonely in their corner because their opinions were contrary to popular belief and who felt the need to say it like it is. I dedicate this to you bravehearts!!!

I know its fiction
I know its not real
I know these are just reel characters borne off of someone's figment of imagination
I know I am mad, obstinate, stubborn, sarcastic, and at rare moments, humorous
I know I am spitting angry at the creatives
I know I simmer, I burn and I explode
I know I am irrational
I know this obsession is not good
I know I can continue to watch this despite the crap doled out
I know I drool, admire, love and hate these characters sometimes all in one day
I know I can't stop by rants
I know I will not agree with some of you
I know some of you will agree with me
I know some of you will hate me
I know some of you will love me
I know some of you are plain indifferent to my words
I know some may not like what I have to say
I know I am not here for a popularity context
I know I am here to discuss, dissect and analyze this show
I know nothing I do or say will make an iota of difference to the actual story narration
And most of all, I know none of this matters to me in my real life

I know all this. So please stop telling me to take chill pill everytime I opine, comment or post something that seems overboard and from the left field. I am as chilled as a cucumber and were I to take any more chill pill, I'd be an Eskimo living in the glaciers of the Arctic.

My love for this show is just as bad as yours and for as long as I don't violate forum rules, I have every right to be here just as you.

So shall I hazard a dose of your own medicine and ask you to take the chill pill too?? Heaven's no!!

My forum friends, I am not a crazed mad fan who does not understand the difference between reality and fiction, and who does realize that daily soaps have a way of functioning that is far removed from reality. So telling me to chill does not work, I have to have my say and where else to say it better than in the forum. Your brickbats are welcome as long as they are delivered with mutual respect and decorum.

Chill (oops)

Lol. Thanks. It needed to be said. ⭐️

100% in opposition to all i was saying today : its fiction people!, and thats why i like it! 😆

I have been away for a bit due to a lot of work and it now seems to me that the forum has suddenly gone into overdrive taking divisive sides. Sometimes I feel like I am entering some battle zone. Yes we all love to rant rave may even say rude stuff but we also have the wisdom to know the difference without getting hyper. A bit tired of these dreadful hate posts that seem to be popping up everywhere. But at the same time some fantastic posts written by unbiased members with brilliant points of view have also come out- a bit of sanity amongs this madness. Has the forum always been like this or is it only of late? Some one mentioned that it was not like this at all and that so many members have stopped writing as a result of all this nastiness is that true? If it is then it must be pretty sad that things have come to this then.

Anyways great post Serial and am just catching up with all that I have missed including some of your earlier ones

Have I missed something who gave you a chill pill?

Nothing in particular, but more than once someone comes out of the blue and declares that everyone needs to chill. I am like W*F, you think we are bunch of losers who have nothing better to do than rant and rave in this forum?? You know what, you are right 😆.

Kidding aside, I am probably one of the older members of the forum and I go berserk when someone cannot stomach an opposing idea and some can't voice their opposition without attacking the topic maker. Voicing one's dissent is not akin to drawing battle lines. On any good day I may wholeheartedly agree with one of your povs and may be in total disagreement with your other povs. Thats what makes us different. And having an open mind to alternate views has always served me well, be it fiction or reality!!
