This is the Meat Loaf UK Fan Club discussion forum, emphasis on the word Discussion.
If, as you suggest, people don't post when they don't like things then there'd be sod all point in reading the threads because they'd just be various renditions of "wow that was brilliant" - so what's the point in having the forum at all? There'd be no point in opening the thread about the new DVD because you'd already know what it said!
On that basis I have to ask, if people can't post their honest reviews here then where are they meant to do it? Or are people meant to say nothing if they don't like the product they've paid for? I don't understand why posting honestly equates to posting negatively.
I'm just not seeing the issue in people sharing that they didn't like something? Or didn't like something as much as they liked something else. That's how conversations work! Lots of people bringing different views and opinions to the table, all equally valid.
And I'll tell you what, that's how this place used to be, and why so many people loved it and dedicated masses amount of time and effort to keeping it running, right back to when we had printed RVM's. Sadly that appears to be ancient history now. If a forum full of people posting nothing but compliments to Meat is what you want - no discussions, no debates, no differences in opinions - then I'm sure that very soon you'll have it, because those that do post their honest views, no matter how respectfully, are considered negative people who aren't good fans to Meat, and those people are leaving.
