I appear to have lost the ability to multi quote, but I agree with Lorelei's first post and BFGArmy.
There's a fine line between criticism and personal insults, and it often gets crossed. Some of the vitriol I've seen aimed at Scott, and even more so at others over the years sometimes makes me wonder how healthy it is for some posters to spend so much time here. To be *so* invested in a fluffy light entertainment show, to take it so seriously so that their posts become almost rabid in their dislike of X or their defence of Y...we're talking about who did a better foxtrot, not the fate of the Gaza Strip. I haven't voted for Scott and I'm unlikely to, because I haven't been entertained by him. I hope he is the next to go, although I suspect he won't be. I'll be disappointed if Sunetra were to go before him, as I think she has tons of potential but is often marked harshly compared to some so ends up vulnerable on the leaderboard, but if that were to happen I wouldn't hold Scott personally responsible or ask for the head of him and his voters on a platter. Them's the breaks when you're a fan of a reality show with a public vote. *shrug* Also while there are posters who go too far in slagging of certain celebs and pros on forums there are also posters who go too far in being fiercely protective or defensive over 'celebs' and pros they like and even the show itself - I've lost count of the number of times I've been personally insulted just because I've been critical of somone's favourtie or criticised aspects of the show. |

Ideally we would be able to offer criticism of the dancing and not the person.
But we are told to vote for our favourites, and that just encourages personal and abusive comments. |

A contestant's personality is inevitably going to come in since it's partly a popularity contest. If I don't like how someone's coming across on the show or they've got a dodgy reputation then I should be entitled to say so, but I try not to veer into abuse even if it's a celeb I really can't stand. And most of the time the people on here who've abused or criticised me for my views on here....you look at their postings and they're quite happy to make constant digs/criticisms of celebs and pros they don't like which makes them have rather a huge double standard.
Onwards and downwards. |
