Re: Sasha's Programs
Lynn,
You didn't start any MK-SC war. I thought this thread was great and most posters here do enjoy exchanging their views on the strengths and weaknesses of a skater. The problem, as I see it, is that a couple of people like to use such threads to attack and deride skaters they don't like or hate and other people assume that if someone isn't praising their favorite skater to the stars that they're bashing that skater. The main problem, as I see it, is that people tend to read through favorite-skater-colored glasses. Someone writes, "I keep my nasty thoughts to myself or tell them to people I know will understand" and someone else reads it as, "I think your favorite skater is a nasty sl** and I post these thoughts on other forums."
From what I've seen, about 98% of GSers make sure their posts are positive, even when they're criticizing skaters. For me, it's the 2% who are bound and determined to be snide and sarcastic who create a disproportional amount of negativity.
You could have started a thread about the price of tickets for Worlds and certain people would have found a way to diss the skater they love to hate.
Such is life. At least we can all be thankful that these people are not our bosses:lol:
But you started a great thread. A few people tried to make it into a "hate" thread and one person in particular has been trying peoples' patience for a long time and others finally got sick of it and said so. Pretty hot thread, if you ask me Your bows are well deserved.
