I have also wanted dislike button for a long time. Dislike is not same as reporting. It just means that we dont like the particular post or thought behind it. It does not mean reporting or anything against the person posting. Infact you can perfectly agree to disagree with same person on some thoughts while like other thoughts. I personally never report any post under any circumstance. Its a democratic world with each person to his own view if we like it or not.😊

copy pasting my response to another post, as the topic is same .

I never approved of his wrong doings .. all that I asked is for an UNBIASED opinion, i.e have an eye to appreciate when the character does do good things. and understand the emotion behind the action shown,

he did stalk .. didn't deny that nor support, but what I see the reason behind that, which few readers in this form fail to appreciate time and again.

ex: - during one scene where soha wares a small saree, he did appreciate sona's upbringing there.. this is sidelined, but where he behaves rude is commented over n again .

all that i asked is a fare equal treatment to both the scenes .. is that too much ?

im 100% with dev when he is right. i called out bijoy's and sona's behavior when they start yelling and shouting nonsensically. but being 'understanding' the emotions behind blatantly WRONG actions, does not make you unbiased. and when you start making excuses for said action, then you are lending support to that action because you are considering it excusable. im sure ex-boyfriends who make a girl's life a living hell, do it out of some deranged sense of love. but i feel 0 inclination, other ppl should feel 0 inclination, to 'understand' that craziness. it is simply WRONG. as long as you make excuses for it, you are condoning their actions. the emotion they mistake as love in actuality is simply a bruised, warped ego and a sense of entitlement- as if you own that person and shock that they can go on without you. love is a gentle emotion that blankets you with security. it doesnt make you a paranoid stalker. it gives you the confidence to be upfront. so no even if i were to analyze the emotion behind the action- its disgusting and the stalker and his sense of entitlement get no sympathy from me. and again, giving criminality a sense of dignity is not being unbiased, its just backing the wrong boat.

as for appreciating him when he appreciates shona's upbringing, i fully would do that if it didnt seem like a false pretense for public benefit, when in private his opinion seems to be the opposite and he expresses as such many more times than he expresses the positive. thats the problem with dev, he does something good and then in the next minute does about 5 terrible things in a completely bipolar fashion that leaves the viewers with a bad taste. asking for equal treatment for both is totally fair, but then ofcourse you will get more fingers pointed at dev than at sona and more negative about dev than positive. as you yourself pointed out, dev's burden of mistakes is larger than sona's and the number of good things he does per episode, is unfortunately overshadowed by the number of bad. take a small example- the conversation between him and sona about their wedding day- it was sincere and honest and his conviction that they would do better together for their daughter was admirable and wonderful. but in the very next second he plots to make sona's life miserable in IN...and then the 12am situation- it immediately makes me question if he was sincere at all in his earlier conversation with sona. and if he was, then does he have a mental illness that makes him go hindi serial vamp mode- plotting to shitty bgm and then prince charming the next? maybe hes confused and i should give him the bod but then again there are some things you can be confused about but if confusion becomes a state of being then it crosses over to foolery and a lack of introspection that has become the definition of dev. that i cannot, in my unbiased opinion, give him a pass for. i didnt watch the show cos i hate dev, its quite the opposite. but nowadays there is just a lot more that leaves a bad taste behind, than there is positive about him.

If you don't agree then...Don't reply? Hit back button? Close tab? When you dislike something tm knows, which is basically same for report cause the topic either offended you, made you angry and disagree, also it does reach to tm some way or other.

@TM - Who decides what is an unbiased veiw and what is not?

What I consider as unbiased may look biased to you and vice versa. Its a very subjective thing and thats because each person comes with their own world view based on their own experiences . So firstly its not possible. Secondly , how can we tell people what to feel about a particular character or incident ? Its their prerogative. I can't tell people to support only Dev . I can't tell them to support only Sona. In the same way I can't ask people to have an unbiased view and not support any one character . And honestly , I feel that there is no such thing as a completely unbiased view . Even when I call out my fav character on the wrong things they have done , I could still feel for that character a little more as compared to the people who have suffered the consequences of his or her actions . There is nothing wrong in it. Thats just the way human beings are .

PS : Stalking is wrong , no matter who does it and for whatever reason . Years of TV watching may have dulled our senses a bit so we don't really find it shocking when the hero /heroine are shown stalking their "true love " on TV shows. In real life it's shit scary and emotionally distressing for the person being stalked even if they don't always end up being raped killed or disfigured .

Hello TM,
I completely get what you mean! I, personally am not an extremist in real life hence my opinions are most of the times based on trying to understand everyone's perspective...not many times I would judge in terms of black or white. But then thats my personality...not everyone is the same and each personality has its own pros and cons.
In this forum, I find it interesting to read people's perspective on the same situation ... it indicates somewhat how they would have reacted if they ever faced it in real life. As for characters, I feel a bit more for Sonakshi because I am a woman and have faced ups and downs of relationships around me. But at the same time I try my best to understand Dev's character, his intentions, his flaws and his good side. To be honest, I like both of them for different reasons!
About dislike button, I personally don't think I need it because I don't dislike people's opinions but find it interesting even if they differ from me. Isn't that what you also meant that we all have different temperament, strengths and weakness?

I still want to dislike button when the review goes beyond having an opinion, everything has a limit, lets take episode wise, even if a character has been going good act, you find some wired fault in that.
Having different opinion is fine, I will respect that, but having a wrong opinion and constantly proclaiming themselves to be correct is bit disturbing, need a dislike button to say that the anger on a character is getting a bit too much.

Also I'm sure all of us read a movie review, but what if a review is not even close to what the movie actually is. Isn't that mis leading.

When I login to forum, I feel its a diff show that I watched, not always.. but most of the time.
hence request was to keep unbiased opinion, when you are reviewing the episorde daily, may be there are readers like me, who couldn't catch epi, decide to check the form in b/w work, but later find the epi to be very diff than the review just read.

So I felt dislike is better option. hope I didn't offend, as I never intend to.

To multiple members who took pain to reply to my posts

As I said earlier, I do not argue to shut the other person .. thats not me for sure, but will give a collective reply, some already given, still will repeat agian.

1.stalking- I never supported, not said it is correct, just tried to see the point of character doing so. .
2. using report option - report is not dislike. dislike is just saying I do not agree with you, not that you are abusive, or getting personal. As some of you are not liking my posts, and I'm ok with that, but I also want to express I do not like a posts, without typing long reply .. just a click and express my opinion.
3. Asking me to ignore - I am regualr reader of this forum from march 2016, not only here, in many forum, I am a silent reader, when I don't like, to do ignore, but just felt now this is bit too much here .. just my opinion.

Hope its clear that I need DISLIKE option to say that I like to disagree with you and not be offensive of report the post.

@tejaswiniwenham I won't quote you, as it will be long loop and not correct as per IF rules, however will just compliment you for your signature .. a good one, this is what I love to practice, want a dislike button instead of giving lengthy explanations to ppl ... and let them know my opinion in short .

Don't worry, you didn't offend at at all :)... it's as simple as you feel the need of something and I don't. I agree that reviews could be misleading...but what I have noticed in this forum since 1 month that I am here is that there are all kinds of reviews...as in, a bunch would say the X character was bad today, another would say he/she was good and then some remain neutral and enjoy the show. Irrespective of what each opinion is, everyone feels attached to this show at different levels and hence the opinions. But, I do understand what you mean :)

Articles appearing on main pg of IF, does have dislike button. After reading article either one likes or dislikes. Writer of the article doesnt reply on comments.
Whereas forum articles are open for discussions within forum rule frame. Views are shared, debated on by members. Reason is explained at times about a view. Which is beyond like & dislike. Different topics are opened to express one's thought. A healthy atmosphere invites different perspectives. So all platforms are different having different set of rules & requirements. May be dislike button is not much needed in a forum because people are free to share their views instead of just liking or not liking.
