There's no need to get political (talks of rights and political dilemmas). I think for this policy what we need is a good definition of "bashing". I'd say criticism over bashing as bashing has no positive connotation. As always, examples.

1. "I hate this crappy show!" I think this is an extreme that we all can agree is not conducive to any decent discussion. 2. "I didn't like this (insert plot point)" on majority of threads and of their posts without any explanation or followthrough. That's iffy, but I can see why that gets annoying.

However, I don't think we have a case of 1 or 2. So, from some viewpoints, the policy is a slippery slope that will encringe on the rights of others.

Do we allow pessimistic, yet constructive criticism? I think we should. If elaborated and well-reasoned pessimism is allowed then the rule seems odd. So amongst many it appears as a focused deterrent or a nonissue.

What separates valid complaints and frustration from "show-bashing"? Is there a limit to how much you are allowed to go "ugh, this show"?
