Re: Everwood
Oh they don't know what we want. We tell them what we want, and they tell us we can't have it. So whatever. But my main problem with this whole Everwood thing is that I am a huge Everwood fan. And I did not participate in that chat last year; only read the transcript days later. And then I was suddenly in this shameful joke minority of Everwood fans, that we were supposedly all insane or something. I believe that part of the transcript was censored; I have no idea to this day what went on in that chat and I highly resent being made a fool over something I had nothing to do with. I think if any chatters are getting cocky or out of control, there should be a filter on the chat so that any unwanted comments do not get seen by the participants. In fact, most chats I've been to had some sort of filter. Was that chat unfilterered? I guess it was--otherwise how did all those negative Everwood fans get through?
If you ask me, it was probably either the same person over and over saying something annoying, or it was simply naivete' on the part of chatters who came in halfway through. At any rate, I feel like I'm getting the blame for it, because it's always like, "oh you EVERWOOD creeps ruined the chat last year." Yeah, well I really wasn't there so what do you want me to do about it.
The internet is a very random place in terms of intelligence and cooperation. In chat rooms and message boards, a huge percentage of the comments are simply being made either by children or inarticulate and ignorant adults who don't know when they're being annoying. They don't necessarily read the guidelines for chat, they don't necessarily read the questions and answers that have already been made. You can't expect them too. It's been many years since I took to task the utterings of imbeciles on the internet--they're here to stay, and if they annoy you, just ignore them.
