Sorry you've been upset by some negativity Starbet. It doesn't bother me anymore. It is usually just a few people that keep saying the same things anyway. Loads more people love Shep than dislike him! Look at the number of hits to this thread!

I have absolutely no problem with discussion of any aspect of a character. If someone has something negative to say about a character, let it be said, but for crying out loud, give back up to it.
What is do have a problem with is unfounded hatred of my favourite character - bashing without any reasoning whatsoever. Which is what 95% of negativity about Sheppard seems to be.
Even more, I have a problem with people who's character bashing bleeds into actor bashing. If people want to call Sheppard a 'slut' and a 'whore', I'm beyond even defending it. It just makes me think 'whatever'. However, if you are going to step to me with comments like 'Joe Flanigan is cheating on his wife' (yes, someone did come to me and say that to back up an argument) then you best be ready for what you g'on get.
The other thing that really ticks me off his how personal the whole slagging issue has become. People can't stop at a character. They have to go the whole nine yards - character, actor AND fans. I resent my intelligence and anything else about me being brought into question over a fictional TV show. To be honest, the harrassment, the off-quoting to LiveJournals and various other stuff really pisses me off. This is the first fandom board I've participated in that even stands for that kind of behaviour. If you got caught off-quoting and harrassing people, even away from the forum, in my old fandom, you'd get warned, then banned. Attacking people like that, to me, is just gobsh*te behaviour of the highest order. I will not be dragged into giving response to it any more. I stay in here and in whump, and I totally ignore it. To respond is only to pour petrol on their bonfires...I prefer to piss on them...
[mod snip] has made it its business to harrass both the Sheyla shippers AND the JFT for as long as I can remember - with such w**kery as saying that both this thread, the whump one and the Sheyla ones are for those with lower intelligence. I actually find it disturbing that these people [mod snip] with a male character so many of them obviously hate, and that when they aren't doing that, they spend so much time on being negative about others. And further to that, they have the barefaced cheek to disparage John Sheppard with comments like "He's not the kind of role model I'd like for my kid". Fair enough, but of course YOUR behaviour towards others is setting your child a fine example...
Here's a clue - I spend my time on something I ENJOY, not being hateful and malicious. So who's the intelligent one???
