The forum rules state that members should not be attacked for their personal views.We all will never agree about everything, so one should respect others for their different views, as long as those views respect the forum rules.
Sharon I do believe that sensible people absolutely do not endorse her bigamy supporting , racism, lies and many of the atrocious things she does . So you are a part of the SANE and EDUCATED viewers that Hillary talks about . She has respected them for their thoughts ...the above adjectives are NOT for NON FANS but for ALL with sensible views , you being a part of them as u admit that you dont like these things . So where does the question of ATTACK come in ?The question of attack comes in because Hillary put forward her views in such a way that one could easily think that she was referring to those who do not support her views in general, e.g. those who do not normally post here or who do not criticise Archana or praise Savita and Sachin to the extent that she does.
If anyone supported what Archana said and did (e.g. lies, perjury etc), then they should be in a very tiny minority, so Hillary could have addressed them personally, or be very firm in stating that when she made those comments, she was not referring to the great majority of members.I can only respond to how I felt on reading her post. My response to Hillary is genuine because I felt attacked by her comments, especially implying that those who don't think like her are insane and uneducated. I also didn't like how she lumped so many viewers in the same group as Ekta. It implied that if one doesn't agree with how Hillary feels about the show and the characters, then we are in Ekta's camp. That is how I felt upon reading Hillary's comments.I believe Hillary meant that statement for those who support BIGAMY , PERJURY , etc and even by LAW thats wrong . So who is she attacking ? I am frankly puzzled .We are on ONE side on this one .I was on The PUNNI ENGAGEMENT THREAD https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/pavitra-rishta/2763253/3-02-12-tv9-punni-engagement-cancelled?pn=6 check this thread out please and see how a member has praised Tanya for her RATIONAL views by constantly emphasizing on the word RATIONAL at least 3 times during my conversation with TANYA . It seems like he loved her posts for the RATIONAL ELEMENT , he made sure to stress it .I did read those posts.
Now Can it be inferred that the OTHER PERSON arguing with Tanya [ Me } is IRRATIONAL ?Yes, that can be inferred.Does calling her RATIONAL make me IRRATIONAL ? That what the member really meant was MY posts are IRRATIIONAL ? I did not infer it that way .Well, that is your right to see those posts that way. I simply expressed how I felt after reading Hillary's post.
I did not make an issue of that nor do I see you advising that member to speak carefully as it might offend the other member arguing with Tanya as she may infer that way .{ meaning Me as I was the one debating And someone was constantly interrupting and telling Tanya how RATIONAL her posts were .}I did not interfere, as I was not involved in that conversation.I prefer to stay out of other people's involved conversations.It makes for greater peace on the forum.In my opinion, it was up to you and/or Tanya to do what you suggested above, if either of you thought it was necessary.I responded to Hillary's post as it was not addressed to a particular member, nor was she invovled in an ongoing discussion with another member. To me, the situations are different.So I fail to see why you are advising ONLY hilly . I would appreciate it if an issue was not made of MY thread alone .
As far as I know, any member can comment in any thread.Once comments are posted, any one can reply, if they so desire.I'm not seeking to make an issue about any matter.I was simply expressing my views.Hillary posted her comments in your thread, so I had to respond here.The Mods advised a long time ago, (including in the BU thread), to not take issues/matters from one thread, into another thread, so that is another reason why I made these comments in your thread.If anyone makes comments which I feel like responding to, I do so, regardless of whose thread it is. I just ensure that I stay within the forum rules. If I break them, I have no problem in being corrected, and when I make comments, I always try not to offend or hurt anyone.
