The romantic debate

I don't think these debate threads on AC are meant to be negative at all; they're just intended to get us talking. It was pretty dead on this board before the romance conversation started, and I've enjoyed the fanfic discussion that resulted from it. I think we do a pretty good job on this board of expressing different opinions without attacking each other or resorting to name-calling. The forum as a whole is pretty harmonious compared to most other BSB forums I've been to. We may not all agree on all points (and it would be pretty boring around here if we did), but we all like fanfiction, and almost all of us like the Backstreet Boys, so we have enough in common to get along and respect each other's opinions even when they differ from our own.

Yes that negativity does come from Twitter. It reminds of the women's bathroom where all the gossip comes from in high school and junior high schoo. The sad thing is everything you say on Twitter pisses someone off. People take things the wrong way, because they read into emotion that isn't there. I like this board and I love AC. I think that we are all so unique and wonderful that we should have fun and enjoy our accomplishment s.

Right, and that's the problem. People read tweets and make a lot of assumptions. And most of the time it's nothing meant the way someone else took it. Life's a lot easier when you just ask the person what they meant by that LOL. Clears a lot of things up. I haven't seen any attacks on the romance genre on twitter, but maybe I just don't follow those people?

I hate that about Twitter too. I think the motto for Twitter should be, "Don't like what I say? Then don't follow me." I try not to follow Drama Llamas, Negative Nancies, or Debbie Downers, because all the bitching, complaining, and general negativity annoys me, too. That way, I can just stay out of it and not worry about it.

This. LOL. I unfollow the moment someone's tweets start annoying the living crap out of me.

Would just like to point out I was not offended by anything people have been saying on here ot twitter. I have just been a little burned out from everything going on in my life lately. We are all entitled to our opinions. I am gonna keep writing what I like. :)
