When 100 millon homes are all watching QVC at the same time.

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!

How sad, but true.

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.

So. . . when pigs fly?

Never. They're still bashing Lisa and she's gone.

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

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!

Exactly, bullies in school that never grew up!

I have judged no one.
