Just Quickly:

Interesting discussion to which I'd like to add the following...

There are people on here who have negative points of view (on an album, or a song, or a film) who get attacked for being negative- albeit usually because they've worded it a bit offensively i.e. Titanic Sucked as opposed to: I didn't like Titanic because Leonardo Dicaprio looked too young for that part (my opinion)
They often get their opinions dismissed for being mean.

There are equally, however, people who get criticised for being positive (on an album, or a song, or a film) They often get their opinions 'dismissed' as being overdone, or rediculous or obsessive (I've had that one pointed at me )

It is important, not only to discuss, but to allow opposing points of view without 'dismissing' them because their author is...whomever.

I don't know if that makes sense-but let's just say that different people on here become known for being 'negative' or 'positive' (we've all seen that, right?) and then we dismiss everything they say for that reason. That has GOT to stop- look at each post as it's own thing and disagree of agree with THE POST...I may disagree with Caryl one day (as an example) and totally agree with her the next- so let's not let past squabbles creep into current discourse...it happens quite a bit on here-


Having said that- you guys are the cutest
