When are poster's on ALL the forums...

Love4cats — Tue, 27 Jan 2015 19:51:07 GMT

going to STOP bashing the hosts???? I was taught as a child that "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything." Why do some find it necessary to slam and insult hosts for just being themselves. They are people who have feelings and they are all very good at what they do. For those people who find it necessary to say these things...would you say it to their face's or do you need a computer to hind behind?

Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever stop. The claims that "I have a right to express my opinion" will always justify the bashing in the basher's minds.

I don't mind anyone expressing an opinion. The networks put the host in a position to be critiqued and opinions simply aren't going to be 100% positive for anything or anyone -- not even God. I wish some would choose their words more carefully, but not everyone has the vocabulary to do that. Then there are those, who in some attempt to be cute and funny, come across as rude and offensive. Others simply seem like they are on a mission to use harsh language. In fairness, I could say something to the same effect about those who express their fondness for a host, and sometimes go overboard with their gushing.

I've noticed that there seems to be a very vocal League of David Venable Bashers. Yet if they didn't watch him, how would they know all the things he does that seems to infuriate them? It almost seems as if they watch him, take notes of everything he does, and then come on the forums to rip him apart.

Probably around the same time posters learn when to use the apostrophe.

When they learn to change the channel, no one is forcing anyone to watch.

Picture yourself sitting at the lunch table in middle school. Students are making slamming comments about kids who walk by as well as their teachers and principals. And they're making fun of cafeteria workers and custodians. They do it because they're insecure and unaware of their actions. Or they just don't care if they hurt people. Fast forward 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years. Some of us evolve. Others don't want to evolve or see the need to, or as Buck says -- they defend their right not to evolve. Neighbors, church community, cohorts at work, some family members and former friends -- the globe is loaded with people who defend their right to be mean. You are outnumbered - HA!

If I worked in a management and was responsible for host positions at QVC, I would want to know the viewers true opinion of the hosts, not some Pollyanna version.

You could argue that as long as a host is selling a high $$ volume of products then obviously everything is OK. However, we all know, that a lot of products would sell no matter who the host is. If a particular host's on air behavior turns away customers, QVC needs to know that so they can properly evaluate that employee. For that reason, I have no problem posting my opinions about a particular host's on air behavior.

I do agree though that some of the posts here go beyond true issues. There is a significant difference between criticizing David for the amount of vacation time he takes (yes there have been a few posts about that) versus his on air behavior that some may believe is juvenile & causes them to switch the channel.

It is also interesting to me that the people who say that if we don't have anything good to say then we should stay quiet are the ones who are, in fact, criticizing those of us who just want a chance to express our opinion. You are certainly entitled to your opinion as are we all.

I've always wondered why the Q allows these boards in the first place. When nothing is on TV guess it's entertainment, but, most of the time I don't see the purpose.

And you my dear, are a prime example of what I am talking about! Why the need to say hurtful things? Are you so perfect that you can sit in judgment of others? Very sad!
