on SZ? I have never said anyone is wrong for hating GH. Am I wrong for enjoying GH? All we each have is our own individual opinions, all of which are equally valid if not equally popular. If I wanted to be on a board that totally agreed with me, I would have left SZ a long time ago.

I have never in my life been accused of being intolerant of others's opinions except here on SZ. All I said below is that I don't think any of us speak for anyone but ourselves. To me, it sometimes feels like some posters can't tolerate me enjoying GH and having the nerve to say so here. I feel like I'm the one being handslapped by some for not agreeing with the party line of hating GH.

I've been at SZ, on and off, since 1999 and have never filtered anyone. Maybe that has been my mistake.

Don't start filtering. And keep posting your opinion. EOM - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:11 PM
- Not sure about filtering yet. But I'll keep posting, at least, til April when my - Kitchop - 02-Jan-2013 3:48 PM
  - Well hope you stay, and don't filter. Can't imagine ever using the filter myself EOM - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:53 PM
- Of course. However, she's throwing herself on the cross for stuff - Ninotchka - 02-Jan-2013 3:13 PM
  - Everytime she posts her opinion she gets slammed. - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:21 PM
    - Yup. I have too. It's gotten REAAAALLY old. - Oshun - 03-Jan-2013 7:42 AM
    - IHDA it is the tone of her post that cause a response. - RobinSFF_GetEmBritta - 02-Jan-2013 4:28 PM
    - She was accusing me of slamming her. I did not do that. - Ninotchka - 02-Jan-2013 3:25 PM
      - Your entire post about handslapping was about her original post. EOM - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:31 PM
        
        Thank you. That's how I read it too. And why I reacted & felt like I had to - Kitchop - 02-Jan-2013 3:53 PM
        
        Yet, when you were told otherwise, what? ::crickets:: - Ninotchka - 02-Jan-2013 4:08 PM
        
        I've read through most of this HP & can't find the post you referencing. - Kitchop - 02-Jan-2013 5:23 PM
        
        It's in this post... - Ninotchka - 02-Jan-2013 7:06 PM
        
        No, it wasn't. ::sigh:: did she cite ratings and media buzz?? - Ninotchka - 02-Jan-2013 3:33 PM
        
        I did read it, it read to me your comments were about her - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:43 PM
        
        I get it, since I did it earlier today. NP! It happens to everyone at some - Ninotchka - 02-Jan-2013 3:45 PM
    - And I've seen a pattern in just the opposite direction. - ChloeSullivanQueen - 02-Jan-2013 3:23 PM
      - Exactly. SZ seems tame compared to years ago. - Tine - 02-Jan-2013 3:31 PM
      - Ditto. - Rosie - 02-Jan-2013 3:28 PM
      - Not saying that. However, the majority of this side - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:27 PM
        
        Well, RC gives people plenty to bitch and be unhappy about. - ChloeSullivanQueen - 02-Jan-2013 3:31 PM
        
        But I don't see that. - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:39 PM
        
        When was SZ ever that place? - Tine - 02-Jan-2013 3:43 PM
        
        I don't defend RC, might defend my own opinion. EOM - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:45 PM
        
        That's semantics. - Tine - 02-Jan-2013 3:51 PM
        
        Well I've never said the ratings are great, better isn't great.. - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:59 PM
        
        Unfortunately, for me, RC is just another version of Guza - ChloeSullivanQueen - 02-Jan-2013 4:06 PM
        
        Well Guza was always worse for me. Even when Guza was mostly loved I hated him EOM - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 4:30 PM
        
        I didn't love Guza. RC is just another version of that particular suck to me. EOM - ChloeSullivanQueen - 02-Jan-2013 4:35 PM
        
        I like him better... or at this point in my life what he's doing is working for - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 6:35 PM
        
        RC is actually worse then Guza. - Tine - 02-Jan-2013 4:09 PM
        
        Airtime isn't better. Better would be GH characters not begging for airtime - Tine - 02-Jan-2013 4:02 PM
        
        I think it'd be impossible for a soap to give all characters something close to - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 4:04 PM
        
        It's not impossible. It's only impossible when you have a given few eating the - Tine - 02-Jan-2013 4:08 PM
        
        Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening. - ChloeSullivanQueen - 02-Jan-2013 3:42 PM
        
        I didn't say my not seeing doesn't mean isn't true. EOM - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:44 PM
        
        It seemed implied to me. But as I said to Kitchop sometimes - ChloeSullivanQueen - 02-Jan-2013 3:46 PM
        
        True. Haven't checked but I have a bad habit of not typing - RachelElisabeth - 02-Jan-2013 3:52 PM
        
        *sits by Pam* - Tine - 02-Jan-2013 3:32 PM
I don't filter anyone. - ChloeSullivanQueen - 02-Jan-2013 2:59 PM
- Re: I don't filter anyone. - Kitchop - 02-Jan-2013 3:27 PM
  - Sometimes you come across like you are scolding everyone - ChloeSullivanQueen - 02-Jan-2013 3:34 PM
    - It has most definitely never ever been my intent to "scold" anyone on SZ, let - Kitchop - 02-Jan-2013 4:30 PM
You must have filtered me already since the origin of my post, - Ninotchka - 02-Jan-2013 2:56 PM
