I hope it doesn't happen! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MariposaLKB · 04-20-2001, 05:57 PM

...and that's all I'm gonna say, except that I love alot of the people on here (you know who you are!), I love that this has been one of the most active boards on Sitcoms Online, and I love Freddie Prinze/Chico Rodriguez! Please don't let this forum celebrating him be taken away now that he is not being shown on TV!

I hope not, either, Mariposal...I feel like I have some great new friends with a common interest; and though I can't chat on here as much as I'd like to, I look forward to each time I get a chance to read/post messages! It's fun!

I look forward to checking out this message board every day when I get home from work
and I do have to admit, I was getting a little uncomfortable with some of the things that were being posted. I'm kind of surprised TJ hadn't intervened before now.
I enjoy all you CATM fans and hope we can continue to chat with each other.

I should haven't had to intervene at all - it should have never gotten to this point. I was foolish to think people would just drop it. I think everybody that is here are adults, but they are acting like 12 year olds with all the name calling.

TJ, I understand where your coming from but with all due respect its not everyone here. I dont even think its anyone here. Whatever the problem was im sure it will never happen again and was just a misunderstanding. I dont think there is any reason too shut this forum down. I have been here only 2 weeks but everyone here has been nice and fun to interact with.

GET OUT OF MY GARAGE!!!

Amen ya'll! I enjoy this board & don't want to lose it!

Just when I have fun on a message board it seems arguing starts up LOL! On my friend Arlo the singers official website there was some terrible arguing going on there & the webmaster guy who runs it for him & some of his firends chased off a bunch of Arlos friends who were good follks I like. Poor Arlo was powerless to do anything even tho he hated the arguing cuz this webmaster guy is doing all Arlos site for free for him & he doesn't want to lose the sites. A couple of folks who were chased off the site started their own site on him so those chased off the site & anyone else who wanted to join them could join them. I hang out on both sites & on the new fan site there is no arguing. Temporarily it's down cuz of the server being moved, so one of Arlo's other friends started some message boards for the folks on the new site to hang out on until the old site gets back up... Unfortuantly some of the folks still left on his official sites message boards don't like it that I like the ones who got chased off the site & have given me a hard time over it. So from personal experieince, It's sad to see arguing on good message boards.

I'm sure folks can get along on here.

We just gotta remember Freddies watching us!

I have been saddened by all the negativity. I have avoided commenting on it due to the fact that I don't handle conflict very well. I was equally saddened to read that we might lose our beloved board where I have made so many wonderful friendships. This is my first time ever on message boards and I really was enjoying this one. We seem to have so many people who shared a common love for Freddie Prinze and CATM. I can't say that I was surprised when TJ suggested that it was time to shut it down. I liked the suggestion for people to take their private quarrels to e-mail. Please don't let the rest of us suffer because some people have a hard time discussing things with out stooping to name calling! We love this board and want to keep it. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts. It's been hard for me to think of posting anything in a while. I've been afraid to. I hoped anything I would post wouldn't get turned around and start another arguement, not that I write anything controversial, at least I don't think so. A free exchange of ideas is a healthy thing, but not if people's opinions are not respected. I'll get off my soap box now if the Friends of Freddie will help me down. I'm afraid of heights!
