Exactly. A person who has nothing new to share should just refrain, be it dislike or like. So to come back home to the original point, I personally believe that the issue is not being a fan or a non-fan, the issue rather is quality of post. And that brings me back to what I was saying to Slade, that one of the negatives I see of Nation threads is that if you're a non-fan you are not allowed to speak. I think that that goes against the varied nature of opinions on this forum and is a good example of how the nation threads can have a negative flipside. But for every time I mention a negative, I want to highlight the positives. Again, these forums have been great in harboring less confident users who are possibly not ready for the "heat", as I mentioned in my first post. |
In one of the Nation threads I was recently told that I was being kept a close eye on. Made feel very unwelcome. felt like bullying. I'm not a big fan of what this thread is about but over 90% of my comments in it are positive. ironically some of the big fans in it are way more negative more often. But I'm not "One" of them so I get targeted by a select few. Thankfully not everyone in then has that cult / hive mind attitude and I've been able to have some decent and constructive conversations. The place would be fine with them if a select few acted responsibly. But even if they do they still negatively affect the forum sections they are in as smeags was saying.
