Good that finally the matter is out in the open, now members may be able to resolve their issues by discussing the matter directly.
Firstly, the matter of being 'negative'......I don't get it, what did some members do to earn this tagging?! As per the 'positive' people, they also criticize but nicely. And negative people are known for criticizing. So what confuses me is that if both the so-called gang criticizes then how can they be divided as negative or positive? Granted that some criticism are sugar-coated and some are curt, but only on the basis of that difference the judgement of positivity and negativity has been made? This is like a change in the definition of positive and negative😆
Secondly, dividing positive and negative on the basis of patience, hope and all those 'positive' virtues. Just because some people are making posts and voicing out their disappointment on the tracks, they became negativity spreaders? They are repeatedly asked to hold patience in those posts. I mean, seriously, doesn't the fact that they are still watching the show prove that they are patient enough to put up with the things that they are not liking. doesn't their frustration only goes to prove that they care enough, and even if they say that the tracks are going to get worse, their curt feedbacks and demands displays that they still have hope?There, I think I have pointed out enough 'positive' features in the 'negative' group.
Lastly, the matter of hurting PD. Well, in all forums, tracks are criticized. Its another thing that in this forum we are lucky enough for PD to read them, and maybe thats why the criticism made may be felt by PD as a direct attack. Almost every forum are monitored by someone in the crew, but PD has been nice enough to reply back. With or without PD, the criticism (and praise) would still continue, our requests to creatives would go on and we would always express our disappointment (excitement). If PD got frustrated by reading our feedback on the tracks then we cant help it. As long as the feedbacks are not breaking any rules of IF, there is nothing which can put a stop to it. The other creatives of other shows may also get frustrated by what the fans say, at that time that 'frustration' is not though of. Why? just coz those creatives does not reply in the forum??? As for PD being happy in the positive thread, off course she will be happy. Who wont??? After hearing criticism about the tracks, praises about it will definitely make any creative happy.
As for the use of some words, I think Kanika has already explained it more than perfectly in her reply. So, I do not have a problem with people 'shielding' PD and being her 'voice', as PD is matured enough to trust her own voice and come to the FS thread and speak for herself, without any shield. But being called 'negative' or being having allegations like 'spreading negativity' that is not only offensive but also makes no sense. So hopefully now some portion of members will stop calling others negative, just because they(the so-called positive one) cant see eye-to-eye with them (the so-called negative ones).
P.S.....DB, Gagan Di, Minali, Smallwonder and Sonyfan, thanks for giving out warnings, whenever anyone broke any rule. And closing the FS thread will merely lead to PD's interaction with the forum limited, it wont end the disruptions coz the main problem lies with how members think about each other.
