Mystery, you are making it seem that anything that anyone says about a fictional - might want to Google what it means - can hurt a fan's feelings. As far as I recall, anything that's written in a proper fashion without bashing ACTORS (there's a mark level of difference between actors and characters), can be discussed and this is a discussion forum, not a fan forum. If it's allowed at other forums, then I suggest you don't bend the rules just to keep the fans happy, and people like me unhappy. The balance then disappears.
If Obama can call Kanye West a jackass who happens to be a real human being, then I can definitely place my views regarding FICTIONAL characters and plots as well. If there's an issue with that, then I'd be enthralled to discuss it with the higher authorities. Lately it seems that all my comments that doesn't please the fans and you are absurd, which I take offense to, of course. Also this is a discussion forum for voicing opinions, so I much rather do that than be concerned for how or what the fans feel. The forum is not for the sentiments of fans, but the show and characters themselves.
It's a soap, not reality, so any theory and suggestion or even displeasure can be stated out here. Now, I certainly don't want a lecture over constructive criticism, so I will clear that out as well - as long as I don't curse out a particular member, and remain in a calm tone while showcase my discontentment over the plot and characters, it's not termed bashing. Last but certainly not the least, whatever I speak of about the characters doesn't in any way hurt them, because guess what pal, they are not REAL. Now if it hurts you, then I can't do much about it because I have just as much right to discuss my displeasure over the show as you have the right to swoon over it. It's very simple.
Since you're a moderator, you should know better, but your king/queen - like tone on the forum with warning won't simply cut with me, because I could care less about the status of members on a friggin forum. I recall your other warnings to my comments which were simply done in a rude manner won't be tolerated with me, so give warnings in a tone which can be taken in by members, and do not give warnings simply because you somehow don't agree with my comments. MMok? I am no God, and neither are you.
Carry on the discusson.
