And to be fair, I’d love to make jokes as well but there are some people on the other side who will come down on me for it. So I censor myself as well. I want to be able to express myself as well, but this isn’t a one sided issue Actually, I find that I can’t say ANYTHING. A lot of times I put headcanons or theories I’ve come up with solely in the SF thread with the caveat “I can’t post this generally cause I know how it will be taken.” I have to be Switzerland so much that I can’t make a post with theories I’ve come up with because maybe they’re slightly skewed toward a ship. And I don’t want to start a war.
I really commend you @RumplesGirl for being an awesome moderator. I know it can’t be easy for you to diffuse stuff when it happens. You’re awesome, a great friend and a lovely person.

I’ve been considering it and it’s something Matt Daniel and I need to talk about If we ban ship talk–then it’s ALL ships. SF, CS, Rumbelle, Snowing, OutlawQueen, Crackships, ALL SHIPS. We have to be fair and that’s why we haven’t banned it yet.
I understand that. We have to fair to everyone. Everyone has to agree to it too, if you guys decide to go forward with it.
[adrotate group="5"]Tumblr is no longer enjoyable because people don’t know how to tag and every other site seems to be staunchly anti-Neal.
I generally, I don’t have a problem with tumblr. There’s apps to block stuff you don’t want to see, like tumblr savior (yes, that’s the actual name) and xkit, something that always has cool apps for things.
Sometimes also, the SF fans feel this our only safe haven in fandom.
It may feel like that to you guys, because there’s more SF ‘shippers here but for us CS ‘shippers, it doesn’t feel like a safe haven anymore because we ARE the minority.
I love the podcast and I love the forums but for most of us CS ‘shippers, sometimes, it feels like this site solely exists for an elite group (SF ‘shippers) instead of all of us as a group of Oncers. It’s sad to read the occasional thread, of someone leaving the forums because he or she doesn’t feel welcome. This is a forum for all Oncers and it doesn’t feel like home anymore for a small group of us.
But even I try not to even talk about Emma anymore because everyone goes wild.
Emma’s a hot button issue because she is the center of two big ‘ships right now.
I will say there are some CS fans I do enjoy chatting with that can take a joke and don’t mind joking back.
It’s nice that you’ve been getting along with some of my ‘shipmates. I’m scared to even make a joke because there’s always that one person from the other side who won’t see it as a joke, but as an insult. So, I censor myself. I want to be able to express my opinions and be open with you guys but I can’t do that. So, I talk around the ‘ships stuff to avoid fights.
I’m glad the CSF thread is gone and banished into the forum oblivion but things around here haven’t gotten any better since it’s been gone.
But, I do think it might be time to ban all shipping in chat.
I’m open for this and even add an additional suggestion, if ‘ships talk can be banned in the live chat as well. I was in the chat last night and even though, it was a small crowd, I had to type out to reminders, “Hey, there are people here who CS ‘shippers, and to be considerate of us too.”
You shouldn’t be chased off but we’re all adults and sometimes the best thing to do is walk away and remember that it’s just a television show. Nothing more. A TV show.
I agree.
@captaineala that van gogh cs painting, it’s pretty cool. very colorful.
A poster pointed out on tumblr, this location looks similar to one we saw in the pilot opener, when Prince Charming was coming to wake Snow with TLK.
Good podcast tonight. There was some CS talk. The episode should be available tomorrow and I’ll type up what was said and share here. 🙂
@jenven, I try and not let it bother me anymore because Emma doesn’t let anyone dictate how to run her life, or who she should be with. and if she didn’t want to kiss him in 3×05, she wouldn’t have kissed him. could have simply walked away but that’s not what happened. she wouldn’t have said ‘good’ to hook in the winter finale after he told her that he would be thinking of her everyday.
