I consider it as an insult when someone accuses ANYONE of spreading negativity on the forum .
It indirectly means the opinions expressed should ONLY be positive ...meaning ...praise of the leads and their deeds .
WHO is anyone to decide if an opinon is 'positive' or ;negative' ?
That is subjective .
And WHY should I or ANYONE mould my opinion so that others like it or till it attains the level of positivity or negativity that he or she deems fit ?
Is it that member's private forum ? That he or she is ordering me or like minded posters to formulate my opinion according to the degrees of positivity or negativity that he or she desires ?
This an open forum where EACH one is entitled to his or her views .
What is POSITIVITY ? Praising Archana day in and day out I guess ? Bashing Manav day in and day out I guess ? Bashing Saviuta Day in and Day out as EVIL ? Who decides THIS ? Those who gather in ONE thread and do it as it is their birthright and then turn against those who opine differently and try to take away THEIR birthright of freedom of expression simply as they cannot BEAR to hear ANY criticism of the lead ?
It is nothing but an attempt to MUZZLE opinion by wording it this way...Oh there is too much negativity on the forum . Do something about it .
Meaning ...muzzle that freedom of expression and kick those members OUT . Then LETS all have the forum to OURSELVES ...WHy just ONE thread , we can have the FULL forum to only OUR POINT OF VIEW . Lets spread positivity and sunshine by hailing EACH stupidity of the lead to the skies .
Can i infer THIS ?
Because I do NOT find those posts that praise Archana or Purvi as POSITIVE at all . From MY POV , they are the MOST NEGATIVE posts ...as they praise a woman who has blessed bigamy , never thwarted abuse and has recently made RACIST comments . Do I go to mods saying these posts r spreading NEGATIVITY ? Coz truly truly I DO feel so .
But i DID NOT . Till today I have NOT told mods shut those posts down ...they PAIN my heart etc etc . Its THEIR opinion and i HAVE to respect it whether I like it or not .
There were daily posts after the lead Sushant Rajput left ...predicting the show would FLOP and that no one else could ever take his place ...honestly tell me , these posts were spreading POSITIVITY ? Some even justified that by saying We have a right to express our feelings ...thats exactly how we feel . We r NOT blaming Hiten here , we r merely expressing our MISSING for Sushant . But turn the kaledisocope around and see it from any non fan or hiten fans POV . They DO want the show to be a hit as their favorite star has entered it . They may find these comments very NEGATIVE .
How was predicting that the show is a 'DRAG" ...nothing will rejuvenate it , POSITIVE in any sense ?I am quoting the exact word .
I did NOT report these posts although I did not agree with them . I gave my thumbs up to the new actor , welcomed him and do try to predict success for the show .
Yet I am a NEGATIVITY SPREADER . Why ? Coz I criticise Archana DAILY . I should praise her , THEN I will be the positivity spreader . And this will be decided by a bunch of members who have been doing an Ankita Lokhande promotion campaign of orts as they personally prefer that actress .
And this attitude is POSITIVE .
The Brief Update Thread is used to pass snide comments on members in EDT thread . We cannot imagine the mind boggling HATE of Archana ! This and that . Well we can retort by saying we that we find the great LOVE for Archana mindboggling as she obviously supports bigamy and is racist but DO WE SAY IT AND DISRESPECT YOU GUYS ?
No , we RESPECT your POSITIVE posts and remain silent . We post in EDT thread and go . Very occasionally I nowdays make an independent post . Would do it a lot before . Now I don't . Yesterday I did the Purvi post coz I really saw the roads for Punni returning to the good path closing due to the Speaker phone and THe hotel room drastic unmasking that led to the snapping of Vinod . I do not like DO GOODERS that destroy people's lives . Why should I not say my mind ? Who will shut me down ...I want to see that . Try muzzling my opinion .
True there is negativity ,,,,,so true so true ! Is the comment here , right ? I felt SAME thing when Shravani HATE club was made and ran succesfully to 150 pages ! That was visited by ALL who are tioday making these negativity posts and they have the talk about spreading POSITIVITY ? Not satisfied by posting anti Shravani posts in OTD these members wud run to the HATE CLUB to do MORE DHULAAI of Shravani and they are now commenting OH WHAT THE FORUM HAS COME TO ?
But even THAT point I should not make . It was recently commented that EVERYTHING is TWISTED to Archana Fans . Why would I TWIST ? Am bluntly stating a FACT ...and I state it when ANY contrary opinion is shut down by hypocritical attitude of oh what the forum has come to when maximum negativity was spread by GROUPISM on one thread .
Why are other threads being allowed to promote this negative groupism ?
Let ALL come on EDT thread and discuss the STORY . Lets fill that thread with POSITIVITY and promote a camaraderie ...a friendship in the forum ...That thread is actually for ALL . Why is it NOT visited by some members ?
I will tell you . They clearly made comments ...that we don't feel like going to EDT thread . We feel 'uncomfortable' there . Mind you , This is TWICE that I have read these comments and let them go without taking them personally as i regularly post on EDT thread .
Their comfort zone it seems is ONLY on Brief Update thread . Ok fine ...I let that go . Their choice . What saddened me was he comment on how EDT thread was making them uncomfortable yada yada . Could not these members have simply said We Want the brief update thread ? Why these ADDITIONAL comments ? Now WHO was making negative taunts ?
Still I did NOT report .
I supported a member , Prasad . He speaks bluntly and sometimes his language needs to be toned down . He was called chauvinist . But I found that ironical
As inspite of being a male he was the only one who fought for the unwed mom Shravani and did NOT think she was bad in character for that one mistake she made . Far from being a chauvinist I think Prasad's views will be upheld by feminists ...its laudable that a male did NOT make lewd comments on Shravani .
He Does not like the act that Vandu and Damodar never appreciated Shravani . He Does not like the fleecing of Manav .These r prasad's thoughts in a nutshell . Everyone knows that by now . Nowhere do I find his thoughts obectionable or chauvinist . Yes , his language needs modification . So I supported him and of course became immediately unpopular . I found it ironical that those wtih refined language ability had enjoyed it when Shravani was called a s**t . And that many of them were closing prasad's opinions down nowdays .
I Had my reasons for supporting Prasad . I did not support him due to BIAS as was hinted by some who took this matter upto the EDT thread . That BIAS was supposedly my Archana Hate . It was suggested that I supported him as we had ARCHANA HATE in common .
I really don't know about him or his hate for that character .On that I wont comment . But Regarding MY support for him ...I do not support anyone blindly or with bias . I liked it that inspite of being a male he was kind to the character of Shravani who got bricks thrown at her . No , these r not the thoughts of a chauvinist . So I implored NOT to muzzle his opinions ...Let us HEAR that contrary POV .
He does not post either in EDT thread or Brief Update Thread . He sometimes makes an independent post and goes , thats it . If mods warn him , he does NOT follow in EDT thread or BRIEF UPDATE thread and continue there with mocking posts and taunts after taunts ...disruptng the discussions purposefully there .
But i guess he spreads NEGATIVITY . And I supported it . I assure you I will do a PENANCE for it .
As far as humor words like THE PEACOCK or ULM etc that are used by us ...think twice before taking offense at those and seeing NEGATIVITY even in them ...Words like WEREWOLF , MOTHER INDIA , CHOO were used by other members too and we ENJOYED them , never found em offensive . Humor is needed in the forum . These r harmless words ...They r not GAALIS . Conversationally also we talk this way with a laugh .
Nobody from EDT thread commented that the Brief Update Thread is stifling etc . Neither do we visit it as we sense that they r happy discussing Archana in their own way and have their own group . Why bother them by pulling them in a discussion by posting our views there ? Is my thought process .
But members from there DO comment on EDT thread and some even visit it to make MOCK MOCK posts . And when mods warns , Mods is wrong and EDT members r NEGATIVE .
Recently one MOCK MOCK post commented ...Not only do they constantly criticise Archana but the AMOUNT of posts is astounding . May I ask WHO is to decide on HOW many Posts should be posted ? Some members r logged in mor more than 12 hours as they wpork from home etc . Its THEIR prerogative ! Do not make comments that r not within your right to make ! Do not teach people WHO to like or not to like , Whether their posts r POSITIVE or NEGATIVE or if their opinions r MIND BOGGLING or PRAISEWORTHY! I know a member who has CANCER and frequently posts ...should she stop posting coz others are ASTOUNDED at the amount of posts ? Before MOCKING and ENJOYING the MOCKING think about what you are saying please !
I will take a moment here to get emotional and say something I noted and tucked away at the back of my mind . It taught me a valuable lesson . Never had many friends in Archana Fans ...I fully understood that . I critiqued her , so it was understood . But Had pleasant relations with Sushant Fans . They were a witty lot and I found a mutual fun filled camarederie between them inspite of the fact that our views differed . They did not call me Kool Di like others but simply KOOLS and jested back and forth with fun .
Is it my imagination or did they suddenly turn cold because I praised Hiten Tejwani ? Did they think I put Sushant down ? I dunno ...all I know is suddenly they cliick on Like Buttons of any post bashing me and are often seen only on Brief Update thread . They do not bother to come to EDT thread as they are uninterested in the show ...THat part I get . And the friendship with Archu Fans ...that too I get , as the common ground is missing SUSHITA . And they had many many Archu fans as friends from before ...That too Is understandable . What I cannot understand is the coldness towards me when I did not say ANYTHING personal to them , ever . Suddenly all of them stopped interacting with me . One or two even came on EDT thread in issues not involving them at all to pick a fight .
Please do not take offense at last para . It was just an emotional reminiscing . I still support Manav but Sushant is not playing Manav anymore .
If mods tells us to CHANGE our opinion , I will leave the forum which will be welcomed by many . I have no doubt about that . Simply waiting for that to happen . The Day I am told That I must tone down my posts or not criticise Archana so heavily , I will leave the forum . Let others spread positivity to their heart's content then ...How positive their purposes were in CONSANTLY trying to MUZZLE me and like minded viewers that only GOD knows .
I expect a strong Backlash to this post , from BOTH , Archu Fans and Sushant Fans who may misunderstand . I apologise to BOTH in Advance as I had NOTHING personal against them .
