every time i come here it's bicker bicker snipe snipe lets talk oursevles in circles. Wash's death was good, Wash's death was bad. it was joss's right, it wasn't. like 17000 threads a day all saying the same things. it's really becoming annoying.

this site has enriched my life (seriously) i used to read and post and laugh and rub soup in my hair.(ahh wacky fun) now it's crumbled into bitterness and anger. now i come to this board and get a headache. can't we agree to disagree and just get along?


if for anything, do it for me, you're making me sad.

I've got a nice positive thread about everyone's fave movies because I was also tired of the sniping and arguing. It's much more entertaining and fun then people arguing about Wash. Feel free to jump in or start a new thread -- I'll join.

thanks! i'm so glad to hear from people who are trying to keep things fun, and i didn't mind the debate over his death at first, infact i expected it, but i think the subject has run it's course and needs to have a giant harpoon impaled through it.

i'm going to go check out your post about other scifi movies right now! seeya there!

I'm with you. Can't stand that everyone needs to have their own thread dedicated to the Wash's-death-debate. I wish there could just be one of those instead of the million we've got. I, too, have avoided the board because of those threads. Fortunately, they've died down a bit, and the board is getting back to normal.

It's not the board, dude. If you check the profiles on the posts for these recent negative threads, you'll find them being started by pretty new members. I think they're just a more articulate version of troll. (I already made a long thread about why I thing this in the "Browncoats to blame" thread).

Now, do you want to play a game? (Imagine computer voice from '80s movie "War Games")

Xander & Casual, there definitely are more of us here not interested in arguing one side or the other. Like the Favorite movie thread, there are a few others that are still fun.

This site is still a lot more civil than the threads at the other site.

It's my hope that it will die down and get back to normal. I for one agree to disagree.

It's easy to avoid the bickering threads, and there are so many others to visit. Just refuse to participate in (or even to view) the threads that get you down, and all will be well.

Don't be sad, the board isn't THAT negative ( well, the Real World Discussion Board can be, a lot, but it always has been IMHO )

yeah, I agree
during the last election the endless political crap got really annoying,
so Haken created a Real World section and banished all the brangling to one area that the rest of us could avoid....

I'm starting to think we need a special section:
Bitching & Moaning Endlessly About the BDM
and put ALL of the *spoiler* threads into it,
so that we can on with other discussions.

Of course personally I wouldn't banish the box office discussions,
or other things I find interesting to that section...

And it should continue to die down,
people will either find something else to discuss or go away.
