Hey Rockster,
First, I would like to thank you for opening this post.👏 This gives a lot of the members the opportunity to express their feelings and state what they want to say.
Now coming back to the point...I would like to say what the majority of the members are saying. We criticize only the characters of the serial. By no means do we have a right to criticize the actual actors. After all, the actors are doing their job. Sometimes the actors don't want to act out the scenes they are ordered to, but they don't have a choice. They have to do what they are told, otherwise they will lose their job. And being fired is the last thing they would want, after all they need to take care of themselves as well as their families.
Now about stating your opinions...this forum is created just to do that. IF is here to give an oppertunity to everyone to say what they feel....whether good or bad. The members' status does have nothing to do with it. Everyone has the equal right to say what they feel...regardless whether they are a Newbie, Coolbie, Viewbie, or even a Moderator.
But then some regular members ask Why is my topic closed then? Well, there has to be a system of organization too. The mods mostly close topics because they are repeated. A similar topic might have been started already, so there is no need to start innumerous threads after that. Members can state their opinions under the first created topic...this way everyone is heard without a disorganized forum. Posting similar replies under the same topic also enables a quick and easy access to other members. They don't have to go through hundreds of threads to decide which topic is appropriate for them to reply under.
Himali, I second you too. Not everyone has a brain that functions in the same way. There are always agreements and disagreements. And it's absolutely NOT bad if someone disagrees with you. People need to start looking at both the sides: the positive AND the negative...they simply just can't leave out one side. Everyone has a point and everyone needs to listen to what the others say. So all I would like to say about it is, PLEASE RESPECT OTHER'S OPINIONS. This is an open discussion site, there will always be disagreements.
One last thing, I absolutely find it wrong if someone does not like a post and sends a PM to the author. This is not the way it's supposed to be. If some members do not find the post worthwhile, they are welcome to ignore it. But it's certainly not right to personally humiliate the author via PMs and ask them to stop making such posts. And again the equality comes in. EVERYONE is this forum has the right to be heard, no one can stop them from saying what they feel!
These are just my thoughts....please feel free to agree or disagree!😉
Looking forward to your replies!
Cheers,
Anjali
