Perhaps if you added "to me" at the end of "non-issue" it wouldn't come across as so caustic a reply.

@Othereeeen 

maybe

i actually think its something else.

why would my simple opinion be singled out  VS any of all the hateful personal attack posts that are made

anyway......i will spell it out

@TheMemphisVette  Your replies are short and simple saying what you think/feel with less words than others.

Why change your style because someone does not "like" it???

...just do you.

Agree that constructive criticism can birth new, positive changes. But, it's all about the delivery of negative comments. This can be done gracefully, and be well accepted. I've witnessed this here many times. 

Sadly, some negativity is often just baiting to stir up the crowd, while reflecting personal preferences that may not affect the group as a whole. Often there's no concrete information to support a negative comment. 

It can become annoying at times. We all have different likes, dislikes and backgrounds affecting our experiences here.

The best solutions are more tolerance, or simply ignoring irritating posts, but not throwing fuel on the fire by announcing intent. One negative is enough, without adding more in response.

Of course there is no concrete information to support a negative comment that is why it is called an opinion.  Some people will not take criticism well whether it is constructive or said gracefully.

I wonder if they'll let the comical Dude guy back on?

@Othereeeen   I was not feeling well last night and could not sleep.

I checked here around 3 a.m. and "Dude" was on a rampage of unpleasant/offensive posts.

Hopefully, he/she/it is gone now.

@Mersha 

I think he/she is gone...I was just trying to break the logjam!!!

@Puppy Lips   You have seen the ganging up with negative comments about the same two hosts constantly.

Every time they do a a presentation, which is often during prime time, the haters come out.

They comment of their looks, what they say...anything and everything.  Then the gang agrees.

It doesn't do any good, and just makes the posters look bad.  This has been happening for a long time.  It's petty mean girl stuff.

If these people are bothered by certain hosts, why do they watch? answer:  So they can complain and the circle continues.  It is so juvenile.

For me to say something about a host or vendor, it has to be really bad.  The two times I did say something....a vendor was bullying a host and another vendor was touching  a model inapproperiorly, I got told I was lying.

Trust me, I wasn't.  But I was saying something against vendors that the posters liked.

I could said anything negative about two hosts they don't like and I would have been patted on the back.

It just gets so tiring reading about the same old, same old complaints about the same old, same old hosts from the same old, same old posters.

The Dude was comical.  I don't understand why some people were offended.  I always say consider the source when people are making comments.  The Dude might return under a different name.

I believe "The Dude" is the OP of this thread, using a different nic

It is difficult not to watch when a certain host dominates many shows.  For example I like to watch cosmetic shows.  Laura Geller was on recently and this particular host was on with her.  I wanted to learn about the products.  Am I not supposed to watch her shows because a particular host bothers me?  The change the channel response doesn't always work in certain situations.

@Desertdi 

You know ....I kinda thought the same thing.!!!..but didn't want to say so because I didn't want to criticize!!! The topic and cadence and style is almost exactly the same ( to ME!!)

And I COULD be wrong...!!

Another poster on these forums posted that he thought the Dude WAS another poster in a new form...

How do they get two accounts? Is it that easy to set up a second persona on the forums?

And where the heck IS the OP? Have they reposted in this thread? ( I know not becauise I don't think I've read all the posts here ......)

Maybe banned again...or maybe ...she tied her hands behind her back so as not to manicly scribble a billion word all jammed together no distinct paragraphs disjointed run on sentence diatribe?
