I was only replying to the criticism that people on this thread were one-dimensional and rarely displayed diversity of views.
Well, I think any thread gels in the first place because of commonality of interests.
I never ventured into the JA forum because of excessive fangirling and I see the exact same thing happening on CN forum.
I agree I have not read your analysis thread in any detail. The reason for this is not any disrespect for you but the fact that I don't much care for Ekta -- I have stated my reasons for this often enough -- and I don't see any point in spending too much time on anything by her. In this case, it is a story of romance which does not interest me. We have too much romance on TV anyway.
That said, I was curious to know what exactly is so wonderful about the CN forum -- or before that JA -- that this EDT, which in my opinion was like a breath of fresh air, was thought not to have measured up. I took a quick tour only to find Rajat adulation on all threads.
Your thread is much appreciated, and rightly so because you combine in-depth analysis with wonderful writing skill, but if I dare say so, every post there is full of gushing, worshipful admiration of you. And yes, also the same waiting for Rajat song.
I have no problems with either except by the yardstick set for this EDT that thread too could be dubbed as being of one mind or lacking in critical counter commentary.
What is wrong with being of one mind? If admiration for one actor or a devoted following such as yours can unite people on the various threads on CN forum, why cannot irreverence and a disinterest in romance unite people on this thread? If nothing else this EDT has the distinction of being unique -- even if that is of the notorious kind.
My personal taste runs in the direction of humour, irreverence and dislike of romance and I found a perfect fit on this EDT. In fact I could not believe there could exist such a thread.
So my strong defence of this EDT springs from my distress at the approaching end of a thread that was/is (how long will this go on?) truly one of its kind.
I don't propose to argue any further over this. What I have stated here is my personal opinion, and I came in only to defend my own wonderful experience of being here on and off.
