Summary of "Todd snared" post anyone?
There is no way I am going to read through those 10000+ replies, so can anyone tell me briefly what they're talking about in there?

Er.... I think it's mainly "I love Todd and Karl" with a bit of "Todd is so fit" mixed with a bit of " when I came out... (enter 'coming out' story)".

![]() Since Todd & Karl have been seeing each other the thread mainly revolves around posters opinions on what has happened so far & also opinions on the spoilers that have been posted. Obviously posters have made comments about their own personal situations & experiences & there's also a fictional story on there too. It's a very friendly thread so feel free to join in if you want. |

Its a very friendly group. I joined about a week ago and was made to feel welcome straight away.
I'd suggest reading the last 2 or 3 pages of posts just so you can get an idea of what everyone's talking about and then jump in. |

You can give it all a miss and not worry about it.
Firstly, I totally disagree with what you have said. In all honesty, people wouldn't post on the thread if it didn't offer new and interesting topics of discussion. Agreed, People are very friendly on there, but it is our community, and its the way we like to interact with each other. A couple of things : - We comment on every episode; how realistic it was from a storyline persepctive; actors performances; implications for the future; personal opinions- was it good or bad. - We comment on spoilers and speculate future events - People do post their own personal problems on the thread in order to seek help and advice from our closeknit community. - And yes, we do have friendly chats at times about typically non-soap related issues. The thread isn't just a place for people to post, but it is a community of people who share a common interest and enjoy discussing it with like-minded people. So if people say the thread is interesting, constructive or worthwhile, I will certainly be here to argue your views. I'm sure I missed things out, but I never was the sharpest knife in the drawer

![]() Anyway, I totally agree with everything you have said Wee_One. I also certainly disagree with what gymboy said about us having exhausted all relevant topics of discussion....if that really were true then the topic would have died out weeks ago, but I don't see it dying out for a good while yet!

![]() And in regards to the other soap character, thats just a mild bit of fun. We all appreciate her acting skills, and to be honest, that is nothing in comparison to some of the names that have been fiven to other actors ![]() Hope some of my above posts made some sense at least! |

![]() And the stuff about sarah is just a bit of harmless fun. Most of us do like Tina and rate her highly as an actress, we're just having a bit of harmless fun about her character. Tina and Sarah are NOT the same person

![]() In my original post what I mean't to say was that the people on the Todd thread were not very friendly towards people who aren't big fans of the storyline and are critical because they either don't like Todd or Karl or they think that their affair is morally wrong. I didn't mean that they were unfriendly towards people who like the idea of Todd and Karl getting together and are just being critical of the way this storyline is going. In my opinion the Todd thread has turned into a clique of obsessed Todd and Karl fans, who can't seem to see beyond the idea of seeing two gay characters getting together, no matter what the cost.

and don't forget a thread coming from the opposite direction i.e. todd should stick by sarah was soon put to the sword.PC liberals are the biggest fascists around if you dare to disagree with them.

We wouldn't be allowed to keep posting to this thread if it weren't anyway relevent to the storyline for a start, as the mods won't allow it. None of the posts or very few of the posts are ever personally directed at a particular person or group of people. And yes we do get along an talk about stuff but why shouldn't we? My main point is, if you have become bored with the subject then don't read the thread. And I personally have never been unfriendly to anyone on here and take everyones opinions on board. The one thing that will annoy me is when people get personal like a certain guy did. And I think thats how his thread got shut down. He was aggressive with his views and he was offensive. He came onto the thread without very little to say on the storyline and more on what he thought of gays and how they were taking over etc etc. And another point, I as a gay person myself, am very aware that Todd and Karl's affair is morally wrong and I am not obsessed with them getting together, at the expense of Sarah. I am all for Todd and Karl getting together but not in this way, at the expense of poor Sarah. I think Todd is a jerk for what he's doing to Sarah, so there ye go. All Todd and Karl obsessed clique, no, yes fans of the show, obsessed? maybe a little, but without morals? I take great offense to that statement. *steps down off soapbox* |

![]() I don't think anyone on the thread is unaware that its a messy situation nor that Todd's behaviour towards Sarah has been unfair. This has been debated several times. The difference between this and other forums that I've visited is that when we disagree with each other, we discuss it in a friendly and rational manner rather than resorting to the name calling and personal attacks that you often find elsewhere. And yes we go off topic sometimes but we always come back to it fairly promptly. In many ways this thread has become a community that has grown beyond the storyline but I'd say that was inevitable after 10000+ posts! If you don't like that then fair enough but clearly many people do. Ultimately, if you don't like the idea of taking part in a friendly and generally positive discussion of the Todd storyline then don't join in. |
