Because disagreeing and arguing a bit in a respectful way is fun. If everyone just posts their feelings and leaves it at that, the threads get a bit boring and don't go on very long. As long as it's done respectfully, we can all debate back and forth and just agree to disagree. It's all part of good discussion and debate.

Andre, I am well aware other boards don't like alot of what is happening but alot of that isn't JKJ's performance. Alot of that is Bo/Hope and John/Marlena fans wanting screentime for their couples. The on the run story is not the problem. The problem is it's on way too much right now for their taste and I can understand that. I have seen very little negative response to JKJ's performance. Alot of that could be due to people loving him the first time around or could be because there were many who didn't like Brandt. Whatever the case, it seems a good majority likes him in the role right now. I'm not worried about what other boards say because alot of that is fanbase driven. You have fanbases that are even jealous of each other when one supercouple gets more airtime, like Steve/Kayla are getting now.

I am always one to agree to disagree. That doesn't mean I won't post and say why I disagree with you. It's all part of the discussion. I will never belittle someone's opinion. I am well aware that most times you can't change someone's mind about something and that is fine. Everyone is different. All I am saying is that different opinions are welcome. Part of the fun of these threads is disagreeing and going back and forth. As long as everyone is respectful, it's all good.

ITA!

But the problem is that people cannot tell if someone is being respectful or not. I have been accused of being disrespectful to many posters. Was it my intention to be disrespectful? Of course not. They took it that way. I think once people sign on to SON, they need to release any personal feelings they have in them while logged on. If not, it only ends up with people have their feelings hurt.

Go to Coffeerooms and no one likes what's happening; go to SON and you've got a Pollyanna convention. Some do, some don't.

Coffeerooms.

That place is notoriously negative, though, LoL.

Most boards either love it, or the opinion is mixed. That's pretty good, I think.

But yes, agreeing to disagree is what it should always come down to.

I know all that stuff. If you read my message, I am commenting on people who say others are "WRONG." Not disagreeing. Not discussion. Just plain WRONG.

Oh, I agree. However, I do think tone of some posts needs to be watched too. People post things and sometimes they have a tone to them that another poster doesn't like and then things get heated. That is why I think people can't tell. I made a post last week about that. I think if people just choose their words carefully and watch the tone of their post there won't be a problem. People are never going to release their personal feelings, at least not most of them. The best way to go about keeping things respectful is to think before your post and watch the tone and word choice of the post. That is JMO.

Oh, and Andre, people can say someone is wrong. It's not like it's a mandate. It's their opinion and they believe that someone is wrong from their perspective. Doesn't mean they are belittleing someone or not accepting their opinion. They just disagree. I don't see what you are seeing here I suppose. It's all opinion and people believe that others are wrong. Simple as that.

I guess that's where we differ. I don't think people should say others are wrong. No one can be wrong if it's opinion; it's impossible. So, to me, the statement is belittling and means they don't accept your opinion.

I guess we just see it diffrently. Like I said, it's just people's way of saying they disagree. Perhaps they should say disagree instread of your wrong but whatever. Sometimes an opinion can be wrong though. There are some who will post about a show and haven't even watched it or watched like 5 minutes of it and then post an opinion that is completely off base and off the mark. Whatever the case, I don't think that anyone in here was belittling and not being accepting of opninions. However, if it everv turns heated or disrespectful, let me know or another mod know. That is when things get out of hand and it will be handled

Would it be hypocritical of me to say you're wrong?

So you don't think those of us who loved yesterday's episode are wrong? Just a little?

So you don't think those of us who loved yesterday's episode are wrong? Just a little?

Nope. I liked certain elements. Maybe I was just not in a mood to see Days, but whatever the reason, it was an agonizing experience.

Would it be hypocritical of me to say you're wrong?

Nope. If that's your opinion, that is fine. I said my piece so it's all good.

Nope. If that's your opinion, that is fine.

It would be hypocritical of my to do that after what I've said.

Well, I thought yesterday's show was boring, and up until last week I was really enjoying DAYS. I said in the post about the latest ratings that the stories aren't bad per se, but they need to start really kicking into high gear. I don't mean nonstop action, but there has to be some plot movement, especially with Sami/Lucas/EJ/Kate and the on-the-run stuff.

I think JKJ is good as hardass, angry Philip, but a part of me thinks Kyle Brandt would have really shined here, like DFJ said. I guess it's because he had chemistry with Martha, Shawn, and especially Ava and Olivia, the twins who play Claire. I'm not seeing any real spark between JKJ and his castmates yet, save for John Aniston. I also think that Kyle would have looked better next to Annie Burgstrede, and if the show insists on keeping Willow Willblow (LOVE it Kenny) and possibly pairing her up with Philip, Kyle would have been the more suitable match.

Does anyone have clips to this show? I may have taped it (I'm about to check in a second) but I REALLY wanna see the Philip/Belle scenes. I've managed to catch JKJ here and there in the last month and I think he does the villain thing really well.

It's really sad considering I have watched this show for 14 years and I am 23 so that's most of my life....but I think Hoagie is taking DAYS in a direction that just doesn't mesh very well with my tastes. I always thought I wanted a show with short arcs and traditional storylines, but now that these things are happening on DAYS, I am finding myself bored by the traditional things. Minus Tuesday, I haven't watched a full episode of the show in about three weeks. People seem to be liking the show so I am happy for it, but I don't know if I am going to stick with it much longer. I have felt like I wasn't going to stick it out before, but the majority of the DAYS fans hated it along with me so there was always hope for a writer change. But it's doing pretty good now, and like I said, I am happy for it, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bored of my mind. It just doesn't seem like the show and I are a good fit anymore. Maybe if I didn't have to sit through the War in Iraq and JER's last year of crap, I've had more of a tolerance for sitting through it, but I just don't anymore.
