I think this spot and the majority of it's members have worked to ensure that when we talk about things we dislike about the series it's things we feel strongly about или have an actual point to make, not just mindless hating and that when we poke fun we try to keep an eye on the line between fun mockery and plain rudeness, even though that line can be debatable или hard to see. Still, there are some cases when I can see Фаны feeling left out, singled out или wanting out completely, and I don't like that. Part of the problem is something us antis can't really help with, which is that not many pros are posting things such as jokes, Обои или videos. That's not the kind of thing antis really have their hands on, and until the pros either find the actual content, или perhaps the courage to post that content secure in the knowledge we wont come over all 'angry mob' it's going to be hard for there to be a balance in things like the video или image sections. Just for the record, I and I'm sure many others, would not only be fine with seeing some pro jokes, but would actually like to. As long as, like we should, Ты ensure it's jokey not aggressive I'm happy to see it.

Another issue is one we can help with though. Making sure nobody forgets this is a community not a place for hate. I'm sure most of our members know this and try to watch it, this is just a reminder for everybody that while Twilight overload is easy for an anti to suffer from, especially at times when Фан fever is high such as around movie releases, we do have threads specifically for venting and getting annoyance off your chest, and that's where the еще angry или hate-y feelings belong. While airing grievances in the rest of the spot is cool, remember we do have Twilighters here and the main spot is for discussion, the angrier feelings (from either side) belong in the threads Опубликовано for those rants. As I said, most of us know this, I just felt it was worth saying.

So, here are just a few reasons it's good that this is a community spot, not a hate spot, and we're glad to have pros here too:

1. Knowing that there are sane Twilight Фаны is a relief. Since the еще fanatic members of the Фан base reached a point of such infamy that I've never seen connected to another group of Фаны it was easy to assume everyone who enjoyed the Книги was the same. Now we have lots of CAT pages that Показать differently, and no anti can tell me they aren't at least slightly relieved to know that Чтение the Книги does not automatically turn someone crazy.

2.They keep the spot interesting. As fun and helpful as it can be to get Twilight annoyance off our chests the thing I've always found most interesting about this spot is the debates. And if we were just a group full of antis there wouldn't be any. Nobody can enjoy only encountering people who agree with them, that way it would just be us going "Me no likey Twilight" followed by tons of variants of 'ditto'. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

3. I can't think of a better way to phrase this one, but they humanise the series. This is related to the last point, and how the discussions here are interesting. I think encountering some of the nice Фаны means even the discussions we have that are purely anti go better, because trying to ensure Ты don't offend stops Ты from just saying 'this sucks' and forces Ты to carefully explain why Ты dislike something, meaning we put еще thought into our own opinions and as a result, end up understanding them better. Even though this spot has raised my levels of respect for Twilight Фаны in general, I am as firmly anti as ever, and would say I now have a better understanding of why.

That's not all, but Ты guys are probably sick of my rambling at this point. Oh, and I'm totally serious about Ты pros adding some jokes too. You've got some catching up to do. I'll get Ты started. How about something in the area of us all calling Edward gay/girly because he sparkles when Энджел (from BTVS) spent long enough learning to gel his hair that he learnt to do it perfectly without a reflection. Now that's girly, and as a Spike Фан I can tell you, jokes in the Энджел is gay area are golden!
