A special request to all fans of every "ship" (Warning: possible spoilers!)

I have to say that I have always been really impressed with how nice everyone is to each other on these forums.   I don’t want anyone to die….I love all the characters ships aside.

Just a general reminder Oncers, please be kind to fellow Oncers who need the support tonight. Give your fellow Oncer a virtual hug and condolences over their loss.

Whilst I can appreciate that the sentiment is coming from a decent place, people talking at all like Neal’s death is a foregone conclusion just comes across as being smug and like you’re already trying to rub our faces in something that hasn’t even happened yet and may not even happen at all. Like I said, I know you’re well intentioned, but frankly, it comes across as mean spirited.

I agree Sarah_TN, and I’d like to take it a little further.  There is so much speculation going on about this half of the season, that seriously if I never hear the words death, wedding OR engagement again, I’ll be a very happy girl.

The message I think we’re trying to convey, is that as a forum, we generally work very hard to be respectful of others and present ourselves and our ideas with dignity.  This is very obviously NOT the case in other forums and on other social media sites *cough* twitter *cough*.  I’ve seen a lot in the various threads here that is simply amazing – support from non-Rumbellers that Rumple and Belle will be together for much of the season and get the HEA they’ve earned to a very positive conversation about the merits of a platonic Hook and Emma relationship in the SwanFire thread.  (Yup, saw it, and as a CSer, was touched!)  These are simply amazing – and we should be proud of ourselves for trying to always keep the spirit of the show in the forefront of our minds, instead of focusing on storylines or couples individually.

So whatever happens in the rest of the season – and next season and the season after that 😉 I think the important thing is we keep up the respect and support.  And conversely, remember, if someone from a different ‘ship says something like ‘I’m sorry’ if something bad does happen for another ‘ship, remember, it is that support and respect that the comment is coming from – and in no way some underhanded way of shoving anything in anyone’s faces.

Happy Once Day all!!

AMEN TO ALL OF THE ABOVE!

i am happy to be a part of this forum family. Neal’s death (if he is dead I won’t give up hope until the end of next episode) meant much to me because I saw his relationship with Rumple as proof that any father son relationship could be mended with time and they just take him out like that. granted from all i hear it could have been show politics but i hope it was not and that it was purely for the sake of the story. i also liked neal and emma together for the longest time i was on the fence as to what i shipped. i ship Emma swan with happiness, even if it’s just with Henry as her son and letting REgina coparent.

Magic always comes with a price, so I pay with visa.
