Hello,
When members post their frustrations, complaints or disappointment with current/upcoming tracks, I've noticed alot of members respond with the statement "if you don't like it, don't watch it". This has sort of become a fad during the threads and I feel this response is quite unacceptable and frankly pretty useless of a response. Let me explain.
First, obviously if I don't like the show overall, I wouldn't watch it. Any sane person wouldn't sit through a soap if they really didn't like it! Time is precious and all of us have a life with other activities that take priority! So obviously it is not that I hate the complete show. I might dislike aspects of it, but that doesn't mean I don't want to watch the show at all. Moreover, everyone knows that not watching is an option. No one needs to tell me I should stop watching something if I don't like it - I know that!! 😆
Second, most of us know that us complaining or venting our frustration isn't going to change much. Yes, I'd like for them very much to cut the KC track shorter, but I know very well that me wanting it, or posting it here doesn't mean that it will happen. Yet, when someone posts, it's because they are either looking to vent their frustrations or seeking out opinions that helps them look at the issue through another intellectual perspective. So in light with their intentions, telling them not to watch is not helpful at all.
Third, "don't watch it" doesn't contribute to the discussion in anyway. The point of a forum is to air and discuss matters in a civilized way. If I post something, that doesn't sit well with you, then point it out and engage in a civilized debate about it. Telling me to stop watching the track or the show doesn't fit with the purpose of a forum at all.
I'm not singling any individual or blaming anyone. I personally find this response pretty wasteful and I'd like for us to hopefully change that. I'm very much open to hear other perspectives.
Just my two cents.
