Firstly, thank you for taking your time out to respond to me, and honestly I appreciate that you are openly not afraid to voice your thoughts because I prefer it when people are straightforward with me.
The reason why I put "I don't mean to offend .." is exactly because of the way you have responded to my post. I used those quotes from a different topic because I was giving examples of the things that made me unhappy and I don't see anything wrong with giving evidence. My aim was not to DIRECTLY attack you or anyone, if I was I would have listed the names of the people who wrote those things but why would I do that to begin with?
I never said that my way is the RIGHT or WRONG way, they are your words. I never thought of it nor did I suggest it. I never said you are attacking us who have different points of views from you. I never said that anyone should 'sacrifice logic' while watching this drama. I know people watch dramas to gain realism.
I don't understand how my post is positive or negative, it is neither. The way you are allowed to put your thoughts on this forum, why can't others? The one who is being directly attacked is me but I am not going to respond back the way you have, because I never intended on starting an argument nor will I continue to let it go on. I understand why you have become so worked up, and I have read the way people have responded to you saying you are the "heart of this forum" so clearly you mean a lot to them, and saying anything to you will get everyone else upset.
There is nothing wrong with being a fan of something, it doesn't make them 'blind'.
When you say stuff like "How DARE you", "Thank you for making US feel like it's waste of time" "If you have a problem with posts, you just ignore them, not attack the preferences of members who make them." "Why should all of us necessarily agree with you?" how do you think that makes me feel? I could have simply gone and posted what I did on the topic I got my quotes from but then I thought, 'If I write there it will hurt their feelings and they would think I'm bashing them, it may also be disrespectful', so I decided to make a new topic.
I appreciate that you disagree with me but then why attack me? Again, I never said that you guys are spreading negativity, nor did I say I'm spreading positivity. You are saying one thing and then doing the exact opposite. I am not offended but I am hurt because that was my first ever post on this forum and your response makes me feel like I'm the outsider who shouldn't have a say. I have read many of your reviews of episodes and there were stuff you wrote that I agreed and disagreed with but I have never responded to you the way you have to me.
I don't mind what you wrote, you are not wrong in your place. It's the WAY you wrote it which is hurtful.
Now you are saying that you don't feel welcomed so you will not make posts any more. That is not fair for the people who like you and like reading your stuff, you shouldn't make them feel bad just because you are upset, angry, offended and dislike me. We don't even know each other. To me you are a random stranger, as I am to you. But these people actually like and respect you so you should set an example and not "bash" me.
I'm sorry for hurting your feelings and offending you. I'm sorry for upsetting your friends, and I'm sorry for using direct quotes from a separate topic. I didn't realise that what I was doing is classed as 'bashing', because it was not intended to be a bash topic. I do not expect nor want you to agree with me. I respect your opinion and I hope you respect mine too.
I am also sorry to everyone reading this who have been offended by anything and everything I have written. I hope you all can forgive me.
