I agree with what you're saying but I don't think there was any pro/anti-show-bickering going on the last page. I got the impression that Dracula9 liked the show and DraculaCronqvist outright said he wants the series to continue. So whatever caused the arguments on the previous page to become heated had different underlying causes.
As for me, I was just venting, which I think is something that should be allowed in a thread like this as long as it isn't done constantly. Some people (like Crisis) are clearly cool with me riffing on the show, despite them liking it. Unfortunately, others seem to take posts like that personally and seem to have the urge to react to it in order to validate their own opinion. While I agree with your appeal for more civil discussion, I don't think that should be achieved by preventing people from saying anything controversial. Also, I don't agree with the sentiment of: "If you don't have anything positive to say, don't say anything at all". I get that it's annoying if someone is constantly criticizing something that you really like, but it's equally annoying being denied the opportunity to vent by criticizing something related to a subject you're passionate about.
What I think needs to be done to "untoxify" this thread is the following:
1) Leave room for people to express their opinion on the show without feeling the need to shout them down. If people either want to praise the show or want to vent, let them.
2) Just cut it out with the ad hominems in general, whether you're disagreeing about the quality of the show or something else *looks at both Dracula9 and AlexCalvo*
I think these two things are evoking that sense of childishness in this thread to which Lumi Kløvstad was alluding to. So from now, I'm going to make sure the above two things will no longer occur in this thread. Aside from that, you're completely free to speak your mind.
Now go discuss whetever Grant will appear in season 4 or if they're totally saving him for season 5 +.
