BI I can only talk for myself since I have no groups no affiliations and no friends on this forum. The whole MID thing is nonsensical I agree, but you have to agree that the other stuff is nonsensical too. Like for example someone on this thread asked you not to bang your head against a wall in response to the post that you addressed me - implying that the rest are too moronic to give you a reasonable response. Not everyone can be on the forum 24/7 and so the response may not be instantaneous. I am not saying that it is one sided but what I have seen in all the threads is people come down in groups - always the same ones and bully, butt into people's conversations and go off on a different tangent. SK/ SRK, Kat/DP fanwars have been going on forever BI and it has been amusing and maybe irritating at times but it has never been the way it has been now. In most threads there is an underlying thread of bullying and condescension that can be detected. The reason that I am disturbed by this is because this is something that we are seeing not just on this forum but the world over. I don't come here much because it is ugly. I understand that people like different stars and if the world is anything to go by differing opinions of course cannot be tolerated. But what is different now is that members are being picked on. You can see in several threads that it is typically one or two members being taken on by at least 6-7 others. Again I don't know anyone personally so what I writing are my feelings and opinions based on my observations. Yes it happens on both sides but one side always operates as a group. The reason I am replying to you is because I do feel that you are wronged in being accused of something. It is ugly and mean and unpleasant.
For the ones who are going to pounce on me - go right ahead. I don't care about any star nor do I hate anyone like you guys do. If you are going to get personal with me go ahead. A nameless faceless person on the net attacking me does not bother me.
