Giving Rabbit a carrot.

I wanted to point out that all members are welcome to join in the other topic areas of our board, like Trading Spaces, American Idol..etc..

Part of the problem as I see it, is that it is very difficult to express a negative opinion in a positive manner! Most of us who live in this community year round have become more adept at softening our expressions so as to maintain the peace.

Unfortunately, the producers have seen fit to introduce a great deal of negativity and adversity in this year's show. It might make for more interesting viewnig...but it sure makes it a lot tougher to play nice with others!

We are an opinionated group...with both positive and negative opinions. Nothing hypocritcal about that.

I agree and think that basically the moderators do a good job of keeping the board in line. If a moderator reads this could you answer a question for me. Do you all have to agree to pull a post or is it at each moderators discretion? I have had 2 posts pulled and one I agree was pretty harsh toward Josh and was probably not in the best taste, but the other, I though was humorous and basically complimented Amy I even said in the post how much I liked her yet it was pulled completely not just edited. I understand that with so many people posting the moderators have a hard job keeping up, but I do wish there was a little more consistency in the way the posts were moderated. I lurked here for the first 2 BB's and finally logged in for this last one and of 5 or 6 posts I think I have made two were yanked completely, but all in all I think this is in the top 5 of the best boards to post to. I hope this gets answered and not pulled I would really like to know. The only suggestion I would make that if a post is moderated, the poster could be notified by email as to the reason, we gave or email addresses when we signed up, I don't know if that would be too much trouble, but I think it would help, Thanks.

Dagny: "I think we need to keep in mind that the original post was only worried about Chiara."

Yes indeedy and I keep wondering how much someone is being paid to troll the internet and defend the poor, ahem, lady. And wether or not it has anything to do with her recruitment to be on the show.

I am with the original poster in that I don't like seeing the derogatory Chi-ho-ra tag being used in conjunction with comments about how classless she is. Physician, heal thyself.

I don't know Rabbit...that Trading Spaces is a pretty tough folder...they are really pretty hard on ol' Doug and Hildi...and then there is the HUGE Paige vs Alex controversy...and I am not even gonna mention Fruitbat and Frank.....

Makes BB look pretty tame!

Geeeeeeez, Oregon ~ I should hope not! I've yet to repeat that,ahem, new name Amy gave her! We don't agree on the lady but I always enjoy your posts! You're one of the few defenders of her that usually does it without putting down other posters. And frankly, that's all alot of us are asking for. Friends? (I'll spy on your alliance if you'll spy on mine )

It's just that I can only read so many negative posts about the girl. Where others might feed off disliking Chiara, reading post after negative post brings me down, which accounts for the mopey tone of my earlier posts in this thread. Still, the whole "Everyone's is entitled to his or her own opinion" applies. If I don't like it, I don't have to read it...but I still do! (why I don't know)

Hi again...

Well, I'm quite surprised that so many people replied to my little ol' thread...

First of all, I'll address the couple of comments that were made to me personally. No, I'm not a troll for those of you who have seemingly already made that assumption. (BTW, that's a really nice welcome to give to a new poster and it really helps back the point that several members made about this board being of the nicest on the net...) Yes, my profile is blank, I had to register a new account last night as my other seems to have been deleted or something...

I'd like to reply to one comment in particular (not sure if this board has a feature for quoting, like UBB):
"I, for one, find it interesting that Robhal posted an inflammatory message and then disappeared into the woodwork. And, in fact, proceeded to do to us (the BB fans) what he claimed we were doing to the BB HGs"

First of all, was my original post truly inflammatory? Really now. There was very little heat in that post, far less that what I've seen on this board directed towards HGs. Second of all, I would like to once again point out the difference between criticism and bashing. If I came in here bashing and flaming you for being hypocritical, then I would most certainly be doing what I claimed you were doing to the HGs. But that's not what I did. If you read my original post, you'll see that I tried to corroborate my argument with several examples. I never flamed anyone here, but I was making a criticism...

And that's something that I've found many have misunderstood about my original post. I'm all for criticism. I'm all for disagreement. I'm all for someone saying "I disapprove the way Chiara blah blah blah.." etc... It's the name-calling and the unmerited accusations that I think are unjustified and hyprocritical. I'm not here defending anyone, I'm not here to stating that everyone should have the same opinion, I'm simply trying to say that certain people should express themselves in a more civilized, more mature manner which wouldn't be as hypocritical.

Another thing I want to make a point of is that I was in no way criticizing the way members act towards each other here. I haven't seen anything (other than the troll comments...) to make me believe that the atmosphere among members here is anything buy friendly. Also, I was in no way critcizing the moderation. I know what moderating is like, I'm a moderator at another very large online bulletin board and I know what the details of moderating are. In fact, from what I've seen, I think the moderators are doing a superb job.

And finally, I would just like to state that I'm not someone who has time to come here every couple of hours, so don't think that I've suddely left the place just because I don't reply after a few hours... Thank you!

I appreciate your well thought out response.
With all due respect, I don't agree with you, because I see it from a different perspective.

Welcome to the board, by the way. Just jump on in with a comment or opinion. You could be a positive influence.

"One thing I've noticed is the insane amount of hypocrisy on this board." "It's stuff like that that really annoys me about this board."

Um, thank you?? And welcome?
