User blog comment:Dryuuu/The hatefulness has to stop/@comment-4650675-20121006070210

Thanks Daniel, for writing a blog about this issue, I was prepared to do the same today. Since Series 5 is almost here, it's only natural for fans to get more and more fired up, so it is expected from them to sometimes go a bit overboard. However, even then, it's important to not offend anyone or their views- for example:

User 1: Morgana is my favorite character!

User 2: What's there to like in that psycho?

Or...

User 1: Beauty and the Beast was the funniest episode so far!

User 2: OMG It was the stupidest thing I've ever seen, how can you like it?

The point is, if users feel offended and at some point threatened, they may not want to talk to other users about their views anymore, if they know they are going to be bashed, and at some point stop visiting this wiki at all. Freedom of speech can only be attained by respect for others' views. If one says whatever he/she wants, that is not freedom of speech anymore, it is lawlessness.

Anyway, you get my point. You can have your views, and express them anytime and anywhere you want, but first you all must mind the way you talk about that character, because you may offend someone.

P.S. Merloonies is a great nickname :)
