Is this a friendly board to post on?

TSJToddFan wrote:I could write a very scathing editorial on SoapCentral; one that would name names (what the hey...I'll do it anyway: Thisismoi, ABCsoaps94, Luke, starbird, mel-o, MonkeyPaws, Oregon Daisy, NatGreens, PANTISHA1, Candycane77, Compgirl and phony spoiler princess RavenBeauty...who believes her own self-righteous hype.) It is akin to a playground of venomous soccer moms with their pesky, spoiled, need-to-be-slapped kids. Even before I was told about this forum, I had already stopped posting there for at least six months and did not regularly log in anymore, so it is a wonder that I just happen sign in one day and see the notice from ForeverJash posted on my profile wall about this board. Soap Opera Network is as bad, with a bunch of snarky cynics, who love to posture, and come off like they suffer from fist-sized hemorrhoids.

TSJFan4Ever wrote:Ugh - yup - still shows up to bash TSJ and worship RH whenever she can. Those are the posts that usually bring her out and she and the other RH loves/TSJ haters will post away about how they want RH back and how great it is that so many people want RH back and how they love the RH love and so on and so on - how the real Todd is dead and Trevor doesn't get Todd. I think RealTodd might have gotten banned, as I haven't seen that poster around in ages - another die hard RH fan who bashed Trevor whenever she got the chance.

It'll be nice to have a place to discuss things intelligently and know I won't be bashed because I like Trevor/Todd. I know that some of the nice regulars I remember from SOC aren't there anymore and others are as fed up as me.

Chris - you've created a wonderful place! Can't wait to get to know everyone here. Love how respectful this place is. I'm looking forward to the discussions here.

I haven't posted at SOC in months...and when I did, it got deleted because I cannot stand the one sided moderating over there. Certain favorites get to post at will and insult at will, while others, in defending their favorites or themselves, or fellow posters, get banned or warned, and most usually, their posts deleted. I can't participate in a board that is run like that. I can't. I am far too opinionated to be stifled that way. My love for Todd/TSJ goes too deep to allow the incessant bashing that goes on there unabated. It makes my blood boil! SO, to keep my blood pressure down, I just avoid that place like the plague. I have noticed the popularity has died down there and it is a dying board. Moderating like that doesn't make people want to come and become members of the community. I have had my fill, and so I left. I am glad there is another place to discuss my favorite soap without that TSJ bashers running over the threads! Thanks for the invite!!

Chris wrote:Welcome nascargal. Yep, this is a much more relaxed and adult atmosphere. Everyone here acts like adults, so there is no need for over moderating. The way I see it, when you treat adults like children, they tend to behave that way.

Oh I was just wondering where you went I haven't seen you on the soc board but then again I haven't seen a lot of people there for a while.

Hey Sue, been posting over at Kelly's Todd/Tea board and much happier as the SOC mods favoritism was just ridiculous. Yeah, a lot of folks aren't at SOC, it's traffic way down.

TSJFan4Ever wrote:LOL - so I'mnot the only one who has her own meaning for BSB on that board - lol! Sure does fit her, though.

Welcome Pilaring - thought that was you but wasn't sure. That sad thing is, some of these posters aren't teens.
