@thane15 and Puro
I don’t agree with your analysis at all. Then again, maybe I’ve taken my eye off the ball as I’ve been busy with a lot of other things up till now. I finally have some free time just as the current series is ending. Great! 🙂
I think we’ve had a lot of great analysis on this site recently from lots of different posters – there are almost 300 posts about the latest episode, for example, from a load of different people. No one is completely taking over the site as far as I can tell.
If you’re not nice you’ll be chucked off? Whoever said that? There are currently only two moderators – me and @jimthefish – and we have a very light touch. No one has ever said anyone else would be chucked off. At least, not to my knowledge. I do like people to be civil to each other – that’s always been the case – but I’m not going to chuck anyone off.
Similarly, who said you can’t say you didn’t like an episode? On the Etiquette page it explicitly says you can say you didn’t like something, as long as it’s constructive and not just “Worst episode ever, Moffat must go’. There is absolutely no double standard.
Both points above I actually take personally because they do not reflect my moderating style or the aim of the site I set up. Again, all I’ve ever asked for is a bit of civility.
And I really don’t know what your first point and your last point about needing lighter shows and misery and doom not being acceptable is all about. I think almost everyone thinks this series has been one of the best and the last episode, probably the most downbeat of the series, has been the best. Who said misery and doom is no longer acceptable? Maybe I missed those posts.
But you are, of course, and as always, entitled to your opinion.
