| | Message Board Rules RantI agree that criticizing fans on a public message board is not nice (which is why I do it here, because I don't have to be nice) and a rule against that is a sensible one. But, when you can get in trouble for saying, "My judgment of a story may have been effected because I was aware that it wasn't well received" that's going too far. If you participate in an online discussion, you know that other people watch the show (Criminal Minds, naturally). Most stories get dissected by the audience before they ever air on tv, so you know people discuss things. Every story is received a certain way by different people. If you watch, you form some opinion. Saying you've noticed a negative opinion among the forums you frequent isn't really talking about the fans. But, someone said they didn't see the negativity to the story (quite plausible, depending on what boards you frequent - although I know the one board we both post on had some negative posts regarding it) but that she didn't want to get into it because she knows not to discuss things like that on the board. My problem is, her caution is probably justified, which says the moderating is ridiculous.
Anyway, the story is that JJ has been involved with a detective that came on the show last season and they've been secretly dating for a year. And, while I wasn't too thrilled with how they handled it (but still see potential good for where the story is heading) why is it people always seem to invoke the dreaded "turning into a soap" for anything that suggests that we're not supposed to imagine the characters go into stasis pods when they don't have a case? I can see there being too much romance - heck, even I didn't think they needed Garcia/Kevin in this episode- but I don't count three dimensional characters who don't push a reset button in their development every episode as "soap opera."
