Lost Chlollie friends, please say Hello and allow me to RANT

[lurkingchicken]

Late as usual, wanted to make sure I can keep in touch with my lost Chlollie friends, banned from K-site. Please tweet me, post here, anything and let me know how and where we can stay in touch. Just a shame.

I am here, DFN and @lurkingtweeter

Rant, which as you know, will not be quick.

I think TPTB over there did not expect the explosive and positive

It's sad that Cloisers see love and support for Chlollie as threat to Clois. It's like they think if they yell how much they hate Chlollie enough not only will the ship sink but all the shippers along with it. I don't visit K-site very much because long before Chlollie ever came along I was a Chlark shipper and the bashing came from first the Clana fans and then the Clois fans. And you know if you want to rant and rave or ship your favs that's fine but alot of them took it too far by bashing not just Chloe saying she's a useless character but AM personally calling her fat. Seriously AM is fat?! I mean I can understand shipping wars I watch soaps so I'm a vet when it comes to that but I draw the line at bashing the actors that play the roles and it's really sad that there are those that don't quite know when they've crossed the line!
Oh well I'm off to find you on twitter!

I just joined K-site 6-& months ago after a lot of lurking ;-) .. but one of the things I had read was that it was a "Chloe friendly" place. That turned out to be ... not so correct, as everyone I've met has said that it's never been like that. Barely Chlark tolerable for a short while.

It is SAD. It's a fan site and they should welcome all real fans (ban the haters and trolls, sure).

As to "attacks" on actors.. it can get ugly. Which is why I try to stay out of those mud fights. But at the same time, I do NOT think I am bashing when I say that I don't find .. IDK... Jennifer Aniston all that pretty. Better looking than I certainly, but I've never been WOWED by her looks (or acting). YMMV.

I really take exception to being called a basher or a hater when I talk about an actor's performance. I can have opinions, damnit! I mean .. Johnny Depp MADE Capt. Jack Sparrow such a great character and the reverse is true; a lesser actor giving a weak performance can make a character, show and story suck even worse.. Zod anyone? *eyeroll

Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, I'm looking at you... :-)

WORD! I watched every episode of the crappy Bionic Woman remake (#dontjudgeme the snark on the webs was hilar!) and I can't say that it would have lasted longer with a different lead actress, but still.. yikes.

I know mileage may vary, that's the point. But if enough people praise or dislike a certain performance, just stop with the bashing and name calling like those opinions are invalid... only because you don't agree with them

Personally, Yoda was the best actor in those prequels.

[lurkingchicken]

Here, here. YODA man! Lucas didn't try or care about acting IMO, all about the tech. So give the folks at ILM a raise! FWIW .. I think the same of the vocal performances in say, Transformers and Avatar, best parts in those movies.

Aw crap, now I have to ban us both for going off topic.

[gwen589]

I guess you gotta bring on the BAN-HAMMER.

[lurkingchicken]

Na.. I'll let us both slip by with a stern warning ;-)
