Alright.
I have literally HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THIS MADNESS. I am so close to leaving this place you guys have no FREAKING clue.
You are ALLOWED to read any thread on this forum. Never in a million years will I stop you from that.
However. If you come to a shipping thread that you do not personally ship, be prepared to not like the things they say! Let’s just make a general rule: if you are going to respond to something the opposite ship said in your own thread do it anonymously! That seems like the safest course of action because I know some of us are reading the others threads. And that’s fine but we can’t do this whole “so and so said X and now I am going to respond” Instead, make it really open like “I read an interpretation and I am going to respond” without dragging in another human being. This works both ways. Both CSers and SFers are reading each others posts and calling people out. What is our first rule on this forum?? RESPECT. And for the peace to be maintained here we need to agree, as a fandom (!!!!!!!), that we aren’t going to do this. It’s not fun. In a perfect world we’d be able to have this conversation without the crap but it’s not going to happen.
Obisgirl makes a great point: there is a reason why I went to Daniel and asked if I could remove the CSF thread: it’s not good for our community. We’re at each others throats all the time. ALL THE TIME. In the past 3 weeks, how many times have I had to step in?! In the almost YEAR that I’ve been mod, I’ve never had to step in as many times as I have had to in the past 3 weeks.
SO to reiterate:
1) you may read any thread on this forum
2) if you are going to respond to a shipping post in YOUR thread from someone who does not ship your ship, keep it anonymous.
It’s a long hiatus. PLEASE don’t make me do this again!
