In light of some recent posts made by a relatively new member of this forum I think this place is very tolerant and friendly.
Agreed. My profile says I'm 44. 45 in March. That's nearer 50 than 40! Arghhhh...that's almost as old as Peter Capaldi!!! I'm passed it! Slippery slope!! Heeeelllp!!!!

"34 years in the Navy makes you talk in a certain way. I must remember not everyone, uses the same language I do. And those that do, would be surprised how proficient I am at using it!"
I'm not looking for a new best friend or a pen pal. I post here with the agenda of talking about Doctor Who and I'll say what I please about it. If anyone gets rubbed up the wrong way by anything I say then it is their problem and I couldn't care less. Yes, charming, I know.
I'm 68 now and have been an avid fan from the Very Beginning of Time. The only episodes I have ever missed are those whilst on holiday abroad in the days before VCRs and PVRs. I've witnessed, as would a time-traveller, the changes of writing style and advances in production technology as Dr Who has morphed and consolidated the changes. I look forward to the 50th anniversary episode with glee.

Welcome! Born in '69 and earliest memory is Tom's first story...feel like an arriviste! Love Sixties 'Who', but will refrain from bombarding you with questions about 'Marco Polo' etc...for now, anyway.
Good time to join....could be a rather interesting couple of months. :cool:

..sure to be. Can't wait for 23/11/13 and then Christmas for the regeneration to Peter Capaldi's 12th DW. However hope he does not swear too much, that's the job of politicians!:o

Language won't be a problem other the "Oh My God". Not liked they resort to far worse stuff and I can't see Moffat doing that because his kids watch the show.
I have been a forum member since 2004 and this DW sub-forum is the most hostile place in the whole of DS. The politics thread is similar but you expect it to be. But DW is a TV show that everyone who comes in here enjoys. Yet the rudeness that is often encountered makes you believe that being a silent DW fan is the best way forward. After all you don't want to actually have an opinion about it because others will come down on you like a ton of bricks!
Can't we all be a bit friendlier to each other?
You should try Gallifrey Base, If you think there's hostility on here you ain't seen nothing.
Voicing an opinion that disagrees with the vocal majority in GB is like rubbing cheese on your face and sticking your head in a sack of Rats

TRAVESTY! (although I already knew this, but didn't care)
I'm NEVER buying another DC comic again or watching another movie (or TV show) based on a DC Character AGAIN :mad:
:rolleyes:;):p:D
Two years ago DC rebooted all their books and in the process moved Wonder Woman to London, causing general unhappiness among the yankee parts of her fanbase that the book was now full of references to Oyster cards and Millwall FC, so you wouldn't be alone.
I think this forum is mainly a friendly place until the real divisive issues come up. I remember when Miracle Day was showing it was like World War 3, it got really ferocious on here, the worst I've ever known it!
Off course the SM/RTD debates have also caused a lot of friction as have other sorts of compare debates. It also seems to me that that a very vocal minority just cannot accept that others have an opinion that is different to their own and that doesn't help matters either.
Plus people take things a little bit too seriously sometimes, I remember starting a thread a few months back which was supposed to be a light hearted bit of fun and it just turned into pointless bickering and debates over even more pointless issues.
It's not all bad, though, I enjoy the humour on here. The General Election Threads we had a few years ago were just hilarious and when people get into the swing of those sort of threads it makes for good, happy reading.

Nah, wizzy, just stay in the Character Appreciation section and you'll be fine. If you venture in to the fanlier than thou sections, to quote Malcolm Tucker, [scottish accent] you're f***king on your own!

I'm sorry, did you say something?

Nah, I'm fine with it.
I'm calling the 'T' word.

Hurrah!
Has he paid all his subs to the working men's clubs?
Oi...I'm still here! Despite saying I prefer Matt Smith to Davey T and other dead controversial and radical stuff..
Try saying that Doctor Who fans don't need a trailer, that will see you on your way!
Here's my attitude:

Quite a co-incidence or maybe it was done on purpose as some kind of Performance Art?
My first visit to any Dr Who forum above.
