Thank you, it helps :-)

I'm always eager to sort things out when there are problems. We also do have to consider that very often young people post here who sometimes might not think twice when posting an offending comment about an actor or an actress, for example. I'm not mad at those people, they might be sweet in real life but I'm sad for the real people when they get insulted, wether they would even care or not. Most of the time, if someone writes such a comment, the next person writes the opposite to defend the favourite actress or actor, then the next who defends the insult, then again someone who defends the person... I have seen it before and a thread about an actress was three sites long full of fighting over her acting abilities. That is why I really always get the impuls to delete offending posts.

Generally, I try to avoid to be too hard on users who might post something they probably didn't mean that way. And sometimes it happens due to lack of the right words when non-native speakers post.

I also think that criticising a story or a fictional character is something different than criticising a real person. If someone says "I don't like person XY's acting on scene a or b because... blablabla", it might be impolite but it's at least not the same like "person XY is horrible or untalented" or whatever. However, I do think that involving real people in negative and offending comments is always wrong.

Hm, as for praising the show... I had to smile because I'm actually not someone who praises it, at least not season four LOL. But I know what you mean, you are right. Those who only make senseless remarks just for the purpose of making trouble better post somewhere else.

(Now, a little off topic: since I'm often complaining about recent changes on the show, I have thought about writing what I love about the show... just for the balance, you know...? :-D Your comment above reminded me of that, thanks).
