What is Fandom Coming Too?
Anyhow, anyone who follows my Twitter knows my life has gone to shit. Nervous breakdown, complaints against school being dismissed, false allegations made against me, unable to get a new job, and not paid since November last year. Outside of my beloved bf and my family, my solace comes from my friends, both online and offline.

I have to say that yeah, I agree. There are sadly many forums where people go on about how those of us that don't want to watch MD are attacking them, and spoiling their enjoyment of the show, yada yada, how they are told to shut up every time they say anything positive about the show... while those same people promptly tell everybody else to STFU when anybody posts anything negative about RTD, MD or their beloved Gwen Cooper. It seems, sadly, to be spreading, and it's eating away at what used to be a really welcoming community :-(
See, I have no problem with people looking forward to MD - I just hope they won't be disappointed, though I sadly think they will. I have no problem with people being enthusiastic about it. A lot of my friends, online and offline, fall in that category. I have no problem with people who sit on the same side of the fence as I do and can barely manage a "what have they done to my brilliant show?" every time a new piece of info comes out.
The one thing I demand from everybody is respect, and I posted a rant about it ages ago. We should all be sensible enough to agree to disagree, for goodness' sake.
Also, it's worth remembering some mods/admin forget that just because they are in charge of enforcing forum rules they are not above said rules... Though of course pointing that out to them would be considered rude and inappropriate

Funny about that, I've just chastised a junior Mod on the site over the same thing....no they aren't above the rules!
