I'm gonna comment on this matter one more time before I leave. I really don't mean this as a personal dig as everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and i'm not even sure if SC1909 meant certain people, but I wanna share why I agree with her for the most part. It's gonna be a long post, read it or not, I don't care.
I've been actively engaging in this thread for about a year, before that I was lurking. I've always liked this thread as it was 95% fun and jokes and people with the same humor, but I agree it has gotten more serious as time went on. Just want to say it's abviously not a problem to have these type of conversations in between all the funny stuff, but I can also imagine that people get tired of seeing these conversations on this topic over and over. The thing is: I've started to like Luisa over the course of the past year (which of course, not everyone has to) but lately i'm almost afraid to talk about anything Luisa or Lando related because I know that anything she does or says will be criticized by some people, and that includes you (so far i'm only stating facts, right?).
I'm not saying it's wrong to criticize her, go ahead, but there are also people on this thread that like Luisa. I can imagine how those two opinions would clash and how that would result in some people leaning towards claiming this thread has gotten more vile or critical. It's never fun to see someone you like get criticized - but you're right, everyone should be able to post what they want since everyone can read and post here. No one should feel like they aren't allowed to be a part of this thread. I'm just hoping you (and others, this isn't only about you but since you replied i'm quoting your post) can understand why the criticism every time Luisa or Lando is mentioned can be a bit painful to read for someone who genuinely likes them. I think that's what SC1909 meant by taking over, it's fine to take over but we can't deny that the criticism on Lando and Luisa (and probably all the wags) have increased lately, shifting the focus of this thread a little. Which is not just your fault.
Not sure if it will be like this with other wags since we don't talk as much about them, and I think someone mentioned before that somehow it's always Luisa/Lando that spark these type of conversations. To me that implies that there are clashing opinions about how people feel about her. Some like her and praise her (which is fine), some don't like her and criticize her (which is also fine). It's just that those two opinions can clash when they're combined in the same thread which can cause people to feel unwelcome or turned against and that's the part that's unfortunate.
It might be my own fault for not recognizing sarcasm (although I would consider myself very sarcastic sometimes) or it may be a matter of things not coming across the way you or others intend it to. Again, I want to state that i'm not trying to accuse you or fight with you, but i just wanted to give my honest opinion on what I think is the cause of this situation we're in. I think I said enough about this topic already and i'm sure people are tired of me posting about it but I just had to say it. Lurking mode activated.
