I'm sorry that it had to come to this, but I guess that's how it has to be. Everyone knows what I'm talking about. But is it really that difficult to hear people out? Is it THAT impossible to listen to other people's opinions? Do you always have to engage in the mudslinging of insults? It's inevitable that someone, or someones in this case, will be offended.

If this is how it is going to be, I'm not so sure I'd like to participate in this forum. When I came to TV.com about a year ago, I was in heaven. Everyone was so nice, so welcoming, and even though there was the occasional debate, it was a healthy debate. It was the kind of debate where Jo and Daley would go at it for hours, before finally agreeing to disagree at least until the next one struck up. There were the debates with Snyder about Chris and Peter, chockfull of imaginary rock throwing and flaming arrows. But there was NEVER anything like this.

I completely understand if you don't have the same opinions as me. That's what forums are for! For discussing, debating, not insults. Even if our opinions differ, we can still get along. What I won't tolerate is someone automatically casting me off as "one of them" just because of something as trivial as a TV show.

As with Addicted and Dramaqueen, I will be taking a break and posting less. I'm not gone for good, just fewer posts. I'll probably be around to welcome Abanana back, and I'm sure she'll be disappointed as well that this happened.
