How we interpret what we read, is influenced by many factors, including our own personal feelings about the author , which in turn unfortunately can be influenced by others.
Not on my part it doesn't. I only joined the forum in april I think and have only recently started reading regularly so I have no preconcieved ideas of anyone, everything I think is from what i've read recently. it's this alone thats led me to speak up.
After all is said and done this is a FAN CLUB site and I don’t think anyone should be surprised if they are challenged if they make direct attacks on members “fanship” or start questionable topics e.g Meat Loaf is not a God?
There are very many different levels of fans and just as I don't agree with anyone being put down for being a "superduper" fan. I also don't agree with "the lesser obsessed fans" being belittled for their views. This isn't only done in the "Meats not god" topics.
It is both unreasonable and unrealistic to expect that there will never be a difference of opinion, the only thing being asked, is for any discussion or debate to be conducted in a civil manner
Very true, but just because someones not hurling verbal abuse does not mean they aren't having a holier than thou attitude :)
