Basic Etiquette - Respecting The Alternate View - Page 3

I have been saying this for so long. Its what compelled me to make a post in the first place..People are ridiculously judgmental about opposing views here..For one, its a fictional show meant for entertainment. Not a life and death scenario. I get that you love the show but ppl here act like Sona is their chachi ki beti and Dev is their bhanja and they need personal protection from anyone who is out to bash them or criticize their actions. Why cant ppl just let opinions be? When I read posts like 'I cant believe people continue to justify this character', 'Thank God am sane enough to analyze this properly and support the right person' etc., am amazed that people dont understand the basic concept that opinions are subjective and what you say is not a fact. And what is trash for you might be treasure to the other. If only people took this as a fictional show meant for entertainment and debated in good spirit. Too much to expect from IF.

Fine preethi. your views are respected.

so to understand what you are saying better, are you suggesting that if someone uses some words on a character and a person does not like it, they are free to bash the writer? I believe this is the crux of the point being made. I am sorry but no one has any right to bash any other member and there is no reason ever to do so.

Hey Payal, i do avoid it.. .and have never ever reacted to any posts unless there is a personal comment against me. There is very little tolerance to the alternate view, especially if it is negative. lines get blurred and then characters go out of focus and members get to one another.

This forum used to be mature. There was never any need for moderations simply cause all were sensible and respected each other's views. We used to have healthy discussion about characters track future plots. With time members who used to.post contrasting views left slowly (doctor I can remember for one) and soon there was none who could post any different pov on show or character. Nowadays people's jump on others topic saying you are wrong, biased and so on. Healthy discussion is a two way street, if one comes inside to tell you are wrong, don't follow it with points and simply post to ruin others mood how can the forum stay calm? You say forum is family, the only time this family is seen when people have to jump on a post which don't match others. God forbid you call dev anything less than perfect, or give counter argument as to why he goes beyond the overused flawed. Tia's post used to be safe, from past 2 days even it's being used as punching bag and moral police brigade.

Simple rhing- don't like a post, don't enter and comment. If you comment have decency to follow the replies and give your points in civilized manner. Can do none? Report it. As simple is that.

chandni, thank you and yes, we are on the same page. let healthy respect for each other continue. that is my only prayer. Let people bash Ishwari ( clearly, she has very little support on this forum), Sona or a Dev. it does not matter.. We must not bash each other. That is all i hope for.

No matter how many times you request members, some never fail to get personal when writing comments. People's remark on intellectual levels and sanity in turn shows the immaturity of said members. I for one refrain from commenting on such member posts and/or comments. Those who can't respect ones POV on a absolutely fictional show and characters better stay away and I would do the same. I remember writing on someones post not to tell anyone to stop watching the show just because they disagree with your point of view. However, some still continue suggesting the same even now. sad.
