The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.
I still feel a bit new here, so forgive my naivity...so people lurk here, even though they disagree with the purpose of the thread? Hmmm. I'll make the confession that I'm pro a few things this season...
I want this thread to be open for anyone who has an irk, complaint, or concern. No matter how big or small the complaint, no matter how many or how few complaints one has, no matter how "anti" or how "pro" overall one defines themselves as. There are posters here who are largely upset with the show, posters who are upset with some aspects of the show, and posters who love most of the show but are mad about just one thing.
There's room on the sofa for anyone as long as they contribute to the topic and respect all the viewpoints here. It's a huge sofa, after all.
I've been a very bad anti in the last few weeks, I know (but hey, just don't caring anymore is an accomplishment for me - yay for no bitterness! Okay, maybe just a little), but 10.000 posts is a huge milestone and I couldn't NOT congratulate the fellow antis / lemmings.
You know, at this moment I really am not bothered if my posts get deleted for being off topic or I get more reds because of my post now.
My point was as stated previously. I am entitled to read any post on this forum, I should be entitled to post on any thread without feeling irked, or belittled because I belong to a specific group. Ad because I lurk on this thread I'm a snoop and a tattle tale? Thanks guys.
I've always had a good relationship with the majority of you in here and hope it never changes. But to be called a snoop and it's implied that i'm/pro's are paranoid? That's a bit hypocritical isn't it?
I come to GW to play with you all, you all know my policy on redding and being respectful. Sorry, but I don't always feel that same courtesy when i visit here. Do you not think that many who do lurk in here on occasions have the same concerns you do, and either don't want to post or refuse to post on principle because of the backlash that they may get?
I'm not PRO or ANTI, i'm ME, a poster who enjoys interacting with others and looking at ALL aspects of the eps and discussing them. If you only see me as a PRO and nothing more, then sorry you're obviously too small minded to notice that I have feelings, and my feelings get squooshed on just as much as yours when someone rides roughshod over them.
Sorry Sky, but I started this with my initial post, and I don't want things turning into an US and THEM again.
It´s almost a crime to say something negative today. I wonder why? I sitll love this show but I don´t love it without limits. I am not blind and I don´t like some things. I don´t want to be a blind admirer who says that writers are doing an excellent job, that Teyla is perfectly written character or that Carter is better than Weir, when I see it´s not true. Or at least it is my opinion. When I looked last time, we have democracy and right to say our opinions, right?
Yeah, exactly...I'm critical of my country--really critical sometimes--not because I hate it and want it to be destroyed, but because I care about it and want it to be better. Same kinda thought process for me with SGA. And I like it in the anti thread because there are some really fine points made here and the snark is just hilarious.
Have we got any qualified therepists in the thread, maybe that can help the poor paranoid souls who feel that because we don't share their veiws they are being victimised.
I know a good one. She's always ready to put the FUN back into dysfunctional.
I still keep saying that I am not fully anti since I still like McKay and I actually liked some episodes this year.
Like Toaster says, it doesn't matter how anti you are. You're always welcome to join the fun. If there's only one thing you don't like, by all means, choose a spot on the couch and rant/vent about that particular thing.
I'll make the confession that I'm pro a few things this season...so if I went into the pro thread and said something positive, would they cruicify me because I post here?
I used to post in the season 4 thread in the beginning, when the news about season 4 came in (about Carter and Weir, and stuff) and I ended up being shown the door. I unsubscribed from the thread and didn't go back until a few months ago. I posted again and none of the guys there killed me for posting more here then there. I think they even kinda like me.
I used to walk in the middle of the road, wasn't really an anti or a pro. One day I was more pro, the next I was anti as ever. And then they killed my favorite character and since then everything has gone downhill.
If you only see me as a PRO and nothing more, then sorry you're obviously too small minded to notice that I have feelings, and my feelings get squooshed on just as much as yours when someone rides roughshod over them.
Hate to say it, Peg, but the same thing goes on with the other side on occasion. And the same happens with the Carter-people who see others as Weir-people, and vice-versa. Sparkies who see Spankies, and vice-versa. And all of us are being dumped into a little drawer and it's mighty hard these days to crawl out and show the others that one isn't completely that what they believe.

Why can't we be different? Why do we have to lower ourselves to that level? If they jump off a cliff why do we have to follow?

I'm sure it does. But i'm not the 'other side' i'm me! Just as when I talk to you or Inte, or Brian, or TOF, Killdear, Gregorious, Southern Red, Red Pheonix, Borgprincess, Celcool.... shall I go on? I see you, I speak to you. I could give a flying fig which side of the fence you sit on. I've never dismissed any of you for posting off topic or otherwise in any threads, be they on topic or off. I would hope that that same courtesy would be extended. I never call you names, never belittle your views or go post behind your backs. I never have and I never will, because that's not me. How others behave is down to them. You know me, and know how I post, where I post and come to the forum to interact with everyone. I don't dump you all in the same catagory, I see you all as individuals;
Brian who loves his numbers and can't wait for to come pack, and gets frustraited when talking about DVR's.
Having a laugh with you when you do your manips, and consoled you when you lost you know who.
Inte, and his flirtations and his passion about plot holes.
Celcool and her respect for Torri and her love for Weir, and her hopes that she returns.
Gregorious with his manners and keeping a level head.
Killdeer, and her love to keep the peace and whose sitting on the fence for s4.
Southern Red and her passion for all things SJ and her concerns for S4, she likes Shep and Larrin.
Shall I go on? I see all of you as individuals, please extend to me that same courtesy.
You know, at this moment I really am not bothered if my posts get deleted for being off topic or I get more reds because of my post now.

This is where forums are a bad idea. Just like email. So much is lost just by removing the human interaction factor. My original post was not aimed at you. I thought it was funny that you were posting here. What irked me is that, Sky had to mod in here, because someone couldn't take civilized interaction, and felt the need to "tattle" <-- my words.

You shouldn't look at reporting posts as tattling, it's a way to maintain peace. SGA_Pegasus was wrong to post that, she accused all the anti's of something we didn't all do, she should've just reported the posts she found were breaking the rules and move on, it generated this discussion that's still going on and it's off topic. How about talking about season 4, it's a bit more on topic then discussing ourselves, I suggest PMs for the people who want to continue this discussion.
