If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:18~ New Testament of the Bible)
"4) Twi-haters, this isn’t a hater или anti spot. Don’t abuse it. Do not make personal attacks against Stephenie Meyer или her fans, and don’t throw nasty или immature insults at Twilight. This is supposed to be “Critical Analysis of Twilight”, not “Mindless Bashing of Twilight”."
~Dearheart link
"And Twi-haters – it’s okay to poke Twilight and be deliciously witty and sarcastic...but don’t get nasty. There is a fine line between criticism and cruelty. Don’t say dumb things like “OMG edwards so gay becuz he sparklz,” “twilight sucks [bleep],” etc. Just don’t. If Ты have something negative to say about Twilight, please put it in a way that isn’t crude, unintelligent или mean-spirited. If Ты don’t want things to get ugly, don’t make them ugly. Comprende?"

Lately, I think some of the Twihaters from the CAT spot have gone a little too harsh with the hateful Комментарии about Twilight and some of its fans. I've been told from the beginning that the CAT spot is not a hater spot and I know it was intended to be a spot for people to discuss and give opinions about Twilight.
I think it's rather rude to leave nasty Комментарии at Twipro contents. I don't think it's wrong for a Twifan to post something related to Twilight, whether they are images, videos, links, etc. After all, this spot is for Twifans, Twihaters and Twineutrals alike! And there's no need to give a low rating for a Twipro content. I understand if one gives a Twipro content a low rating because it is miscategorized/inappropriate или its lack of keywords. But giving a Twipro content a low rating because Ты personally dislike/hate Twilight is rather mean. Leaving a hateful Комментарий towards the Twifan who Опубликовано the Twipro contents here is even worse.
Some of the contents at the CAT spot also have been a little too harsh lately. I find most of it really amusing but some of it are a little too harsh, especially some of those from the TwilightSucks website. Please медведь in mind that not all the members here are Twihaters.
I think that there's no need to hate someone just because he/she likes Twilight. 'To each, his/her own.' Please do not assume that Twifans are mindless, uneducated people, who just go about screaming "EDWARD CuLLen IssSSS Aaa HOOOTTTtttty!11!!!" или that we have no life. There are Twifans out there to who have mixed feelings about Twilight too. We know that Twilight has its flaws but each of us have a personal reason for liking Twilight. So, please do not assume that we like Twilight just because Twilight is the 'in' thing или because Jacob/Edward is hot. Plus, don't forget that we, Twifans have feelings too.
However, it's not wrong for anyone to Показать their dislike for Twilight. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Respect is to be earned and I'm sure most will find it hard too respect one who uses foul/curse words to describe their hate for their dislikes. I've already seen a few cases[thankfully, very, very few cases] where someone cusses about Twilight, which I think is totally unnecessary. If Ты want to blurt out/express your negative feelings on Twilight, there's no need for the usage of foul language. Just give a polite and truthful Комментарий или just use sarcasm. I fact, I think sarcasm is better than cussing.
"1) Bring a good sense of humor. Don’t ever take things personally, and try not to be too sensitive. Otherwise you’ll be miserable. Just
let loose, have fun, and be willing to laugh.
2) If someone offends you, don’t blow up. Respond in a polite, mature way, point out what offended Ты and why Ты find it offensive. If it’s something serious или happens to be one of the things forbidden in Rule 5, chances are people will back Ты up and the problem will work out. If it isn’t, reread Rule 1. "

So, this is my Совет to Twifans who are also members of the CAT spot, who are unhappy with some of the CAT contents. If Ты come across any really nasty Комментарии или contents about Twilight или about you, just ignore или laugh them off. Like what Dearheart mentioned, don't take things too personally. Don't let them bother you. If Ты want to give a comment/reply, give a respectful или a witty one, as long as it's mature.

NOTE: (UPDATED!) I am a Twifan, as well as a CAT fan. I'm not trying to be a goody two-shoes, I'm just giving my opinion about the feelings that some Twifans of the CAT spot have about some of the insults being thrown at us. If I have offended anyone, I do apologize as I did not intend to offend anyone.

I used to be a die-hard Twilight fan. (see my username. Damn I wish I'd chosen ANYTHING else sometimes.)
I still like the book in small doses now, and I even write fanfiction for it, but now I've looked critically at SMeyer's characters, and I think I realize what people are talking about when they say Bella лебедь is a Mary Sue.
As a person who has seen it from both sides, I'd like to say that maybe Twilight Фаны didn't see Bella like that to begin with because she has so many "flaws".
I'm not really a mega-supporter of Bella's neediness. And I even, admittedly, wonder why she took Edward back after New Moon. Normal people with lives and better things to do would say, "Hell no am I taking Ты back. Ты left me crying in a forest, and Ты think I'll just come running back to you? Ты wanna commit suicide, go right ahead while I get the popcorn."
I still like Twilight. But maybe Bella лебедь was kind of 2-Dimensional.
