Oh I am not abusive at all. But we ARVIans know Sherma...and are well aware of how we have been subjected to posts against ARVI in the past. I for one, am not an abuser of ARMAN. I happen to like Archana...I share the same name as her...and do not have any problem whatsoever with her and Manav's relationship. I know I have many ARVIan friends who will back me up when I say we have seen many posts by many of you guys slamming Arjun and Purvi...though you praised Purvi for her sacrifice being the catalyst of events to bring ARMAN together in the first place.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to agree to disagree. Nobody disputes this. I want to know why she systematically and persistently posts in such language against ARVI. We love them. You dont like them. What has happened to us is painful and we are trying to get each other through it. If you dont like it leave us alone. There is no need to add insult to injury.
And I meant what I said. I have a reputation in this forum...a respected one...of being sound, analytical, and writing posts based on the FACTS. I also happen to have a pre-law background and scored a 162/180, which was in the 88-92 percentile across the entire United States on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). When I said Sherma will not win in a debate against me I meant it. If you believe she is so eloquent perhaps she can explain to us her personal vendetta against ARVI---and you need not put words in her mouth. It is her I am talking to. Not you.
I don't think sherma is an archana fan, or even arman fan. And this is what i've noticed of her posts from long before Arjun and purvi were even introduced in the story. She is neutral. Irrespective of that fact, she is a real person and not a fictional character; and should not be abused or threatened for the sake of one however great or favored a fictional character maybe. I don't have the time or interest to read every post by everyone on the forum save very few, and I may have missed any particularly abusive posts. But this thread, and any of the posts ive seen from her so far have never been abusive in any way whatsoever. She doesn't even go so far as to ask people she doesn't agree with how they can possibly support something she clearly disapproves. Instead she reiterates what she sees, as her POV, about the fictional characters on PR. And I've seen how the arvii fans have name called and are still calling ovi- crazy chic, mental, bitten by a crazy dog remember? I politely requested then to stop the name calling, it is still being done in abbreviations. What sherma wrote is miles short of the abusive language used towards ovi and savita.
I have no idea who you're talking about when you say "you guys", but I have never praised purvi for her "sacrifice". That was utterly stupid and callous of her. I can't speak for anyone but myself. And I'm no fan of anyone. I've maintained from the start that Arjun and purvi should have handled things differently with ovi, and I still maintain that. I've also advocated that they should have dated for a while longer postponing their marriage until the situation was settled, at least try to give a reasonable gap between Arjun's engagements with two daughters of the same family. And I still maintain that. I also wanted Arjun and purvi to get married without any more drama once it was shown the marriage was going to happen. Probably not the same reason as the fans, but nonetheless I did want them to get married and be done with it. What I don't agree with is that ovi is the only one to blame in this fiasco that happened. Or even shares the greater blame. All 3 are equally to blame. 33.33%. Wrong is a wrong and right is a right. Ovi may have put forth the deal, but it was sealed and executed by Arjun and purvi. This is not because I hate purvi or Arjun. I understand they are not real and can be changed according to the whims of the writers overnight. In fact, I've defended purvi caressing Arjun's picture in the last episode, because she couldn't possibly be expected to forget him so soon. And nobody wants to hurt you fans, but the discussion of the story will entail discussing Arjun, ovi and purvi because they're part of the current track. And when arvi fans keep making posts about how evil ovi is and how eventually Arjun and purvi will end up together, those of us who believe in marriage and accountability will naturally talk about the marriage that has happened and validated by Arjun and ovi and their families.
I have no idea who you are, and frankly I don't need to know. But one thing I do know, there are people of all ages from various fields on this forum, from teens to 60+ elders all accomplished in their own way. So let's not resort to talking about our personal achievements to validate our opinions on this not-even-that-deserving show. It's great that you are so accomplished, that doesn't mean you are unbiased or can argue more logically and conclusively than others here. Your logic is based on your attachment towards your fave couple, and is therefore biased. Logic is not what you put forward, but that which your audience will buy. Your friends will buy your logic, and my friends will buy mine. So there is really no conclusive test to prove whose logic is correct. In this case, can you conclusively prove that a couple in Arjun and Ovi's case hasn't had a successful marriage. And let's not forget that this is a soap, EKs soap no less. In her shows, there are actually examples of couples like these two who have worked things out. Trying to argue logically on a soap and characters that have done the absurd things shown on this show is a waste of time, effort and our collective intellect. Who knows tomorrow she may show that ovi finally decides to give Arjun back to purvi, and Arjun decides to stay back with her. Stranger things have been shown with "epic" couples in several of her shows.
And please don't misunderstand if I don't reply to your response to my post. I'm really very busy trying to graduate with my phd in biochemistry and molecular biology, and preparing for my career. Did I mention I scored 1510/1600 in gre less than 5 years back? I believe that was in the 94 th percentile. Sorry I don't have my lsat scores since I didn't take that exam. And I apologize for any typos and grammatical errors, I'm typing from my iPad and it's on autocorrect. I do know my spelling and sentences. Peace!
