Thank you, that’s really big of you. And it’s fine, it was my post that started things so if you’re willing to forgive that then far as I’m concerned, the rest is water under the bridge.

I don’t know if you’d believe me but I agree with you. I like CJ too. I think she’s fun and I enjoy the way they portray her on the show. So it boggles my mind the amount of hatred this fictional character gets at times. Not just people disliking her, of-course not everyone's going to like the same characters. But this is just a whole new level. I’ve seen people on DA move from fanart to fanart, going into graphic detail about how they want to eviscerate her and do other things I’m afraid I would get into trouble for for mentioning on a kids forum. And they weren’t trolls, as hard as it is to believe, they were legitimate fans of the show posting these really vile, horrible stuff on some poor sod’s work. Things like this drives me nuts when I see them. I’m not sure if Margaret fans get the same treatment, I haven’t personally seen anything to that extent but I’m sure someone out there has a story.

So if policing new love-triangle related threads means putting a stop to those kinds of awful posts then yeah; should be done, go for it. I misunderstood before, I think these were the things you really set out to put an end to with that OP, apologies for the mistake. The only thing I would suggest is maybe keep an eye on the newer episodes as there may be further developments related to the love triangle story that leads to new discussion. I think those kinds of threads, and anything that’s a genuine effort at thoughtful discussion should be allowed through.

Thanks again for your reply; I’m glad we had this talk. I don’t know if I can convince you to stay at all, you’ve worked hard and you’re part of another fandom now so it’s your prerogative. I do hope to still see you around though, maybe as a normal user once in a while if not a staff member. Or we could just say hi on DA. =)
