Bravo. You said exactly what I was feeling. I too had never been a fan of petitions etc. But now the whole outcry for the program to close down being blamed on the petitions is quite lame.Originally posted by: Angels11

I ve had many difference of opinions with u. I remember our v 1st encounter which was a bitter slug fest. Soon v coexisted peacefully though v ve had verbal battles. I am an ASR fan & u r a KKG fan who also likes ASR in his saner avatar. We had a live & let live policy.
I never supported any of the prev petitions coz frankly any PH/creatives who can b arm twisted into changing their plot/story dont deserve any respect since they basically dont trust their creative capabilities. I feel constant clamour for change in the tracks confused the CVs into dishing out crap, OTT tracks. But having said that it was my personal stand & i never supported nor bashed the ppl who made/signed the petitions. Ppl ve the right to make/submit petitions. Its up to the PH/creatives/channel to act on it.
I dint like the changes made to the track based on demands of the fans. But i dint abuse the fans. Instead i simply used the remote & switched channels.
Same here as well. If ppl dint want the show 2 end they c'd ve very well made another petition asking the PH/channel 2 continue the show. First they choose 2 b passive & now they pounce on the fans abusing them.
I ve already posted my response to 1 such thread bashing ppl. Even i was bashed & they used phrases like Bite my ass, selfish, insensitive, ignorant, Ms Reality blah blah blah. I simply replied in a polite manner & asked them 2 go take a hike.
Just copy pasting the last part of my post:

Taking the moral high ground must b backed with solid action. Have seen lots of ppl who weep when they watch the plight of refugees in war torn Africa or women who ve been raped or abused here in India. But at the end of the day after all the preaching & lectures are done what ve these so called sensitive ppl done to help those victims. Ppl here r calling me insensitive coz i said i dont care bt these 200 ppl. Now what did ppl like you who apparently care for these 200 ppl do to help them. So actions speak better than words. Just writing few lines claiming 2 sympathize with those ppl doesnt take us anywhere. Thats wat US presidents do after every bombing in some hapless III world country. I choose 2 b insensitive rather than preach loads & loads to ppl & then at the end of the day carry on with my life. Ppl who really make a difference dont speak or sympathize. They prove thru their actions. Like Theresa or Aung San Suu Kyi or the girl in Pakistan who was shot by the extremists. I prefer to b insensitive & do my work rather than preach & do nothing!
At the end of the day u & i may disagree. All i ask is disagree respectfully w/o swearing or abusing.

Dont worry. Ppl ll always ve something 2 complain but rarely do they do anything to help others. Just shrug ur shoulders & ignore the bashing!
