Khushi,
I am reproducing two of your points here:
IF is a popular platform which most PHs stalk, hence we put up critical posts to catch their attention...its just that...people who are happy with the way things are, needn't visit those threads, or if they visit, they can agree to disagree in a dignified way...simple. The negativity on the forum is NOT due to criticism of Jo...it is due to criticism of forum members...asking them to leave the forum...asking them to watch other shows.
But since you have mentioned it, I would like to mention here that I only report when I come across an offensive post against forum members...not against the show's characters 😆...thats too childish, imho...I admit, I reported this very thread for the same reason.

Now my response:
I have not said anything against you or any specific forum member in my remarks. I had just stated a fact in general terms that there are some posts that blame Jodha for something that happens and that they don't like. What can she do? The blame should be put at the doorstep of CVs.
I have not asked anyone to stop watching JA or stop coming to forum. If I don't like the show, I stop watching it for a few episodes. I am also selective of what I read on the forum. I do not go to threads that I find uncomfortable to read. I have never reported anyone ever. And I do not intend to report anyone ever. Because I genuinely believe that every member has the right to express themselves freely. Just because I do not agree with someone's views, I do not take it so badly that I feel compelled to report them. I just take it in my stride and move on. At most, I may debate a point with someone to a certain extent, but I leave it at that.
I am glad you have been honest enough to admit you reported this thread. I have no ill-feelings towards you for doing this. But honestly speaking, I checked my remarks to Stephhh after seeing the DT note and I could not understand the reason for the note. I asked a few of my friends and they could also see nothing so offensive in those remarks.
Be that as it may, in future, I hope we, (quoting you again), "focus our energies in the right direction...as also our complaints."
