I can also see people do feel defensive when their favorite or likeable characters are called into question by someone else. I do agree that some of TVD's wording choice is bit inflammatory on the thread, which seems to have caused a lot of argument in here. It's not wrong to disagree and express an opinion, but instead of saying someone is useless and boring, I think a better critique of the character would be to express in words what is it about the character that you don't find all that interesting or full of depth. Of course, I commend TVD for realizing the harshness in words wasn't the proper way to open up a discussion.

At the same time, I understand people want to defend the characters or ships that another person might not like, but I get the sense the conversation is getting heated because of all this push and shove to get TVD agree with everyone else's opinions. I wouldn't really consider TVD's opinions to be trolling, exactly, because I'm sure he/she enjoys some aspects of the show. What I see is he/she is voicing opinions about the show that the majority of people disagree with. While constructive arguments can be good, I think there's a time and place to let go of the disagreement or move on from it instead of keep going back and forth with snippy comments. I mean, okay, he/she doesn't like Rumbelle. I'm sure he/she isn't the only one in the whole OUaT fanbase who doesn't like Rumbelle or see the point of it. XD Personally, I like Rumbelle, but I don't understand why it's necessary to argue so much about it. We can't expect everyone to have the same opinions. Sorry, However its not the comments itself. It's the quantity of the comments. Sure. We have opinions. But please? lets not make an explosion of it all over forums. If it's a possiblity.
