I think the mistake some make is in assuming that all those who watch are "positive Liason fans" and that all those who do not watch are "negative Liason fans". I do watch, and I have not seen what Drink and others say they see. I do not think that Guza writes with hidden meaning or with a secret Liason focus or plan. I enjoy some of the characters on screen, but I watch mainly because I am addicted to watching. I appreciate the fact that Diluvsrunning doesn't want to watch until Liason comes back, and I appreciate the fact that Drink will watch no matter what is happening on screen. I don't think either person is wrong for the position that they take.

And Drink, I don't think that the reason people come to this board is because they love GH. They come because they love Liason. If it was just GH love, then they would go to a general board. This is a couple site, and the couple in question is not together. You have to expect the couple's fans to be upset about this and to vent at times.

As for your question about why should you alert those who don't watch about positive Liason movement, the answer is simple. Because we are all fans of this couple whether we watch or not, and you seem like a good person who would not want to exclude people from celebrating wonderful Liason news just because they do not agree with you about everything.
Maybe we should consult the mods, but I was under the impression that the RANT thread existed for that purpose.

I get that not everybody watches, and that's obviously fine.  I understand people aren't going to be positive all the time, and that's obviously fine.  But I say this all the time, and I'll say it again...If you're upset and you want to bitch about the writing, the characters, the show in general - please go to the rant thread.


But if you have negative feelings about a spoiler, you should be able to express them in the spoiler thread without fearing an attack from those who want you to be positive all of the time. There is a difference between venting and ranting. I can think a positive Liason spoiler is not true, but still watch show and love the couple. I shouldn't have to talk about spoilers in the rant thread just because I don't like or believe the spoilers.  
As I previously, said, I don't expect everyone to be positive all the time.  That would be completely unrealistic.
I have never questioned anyone's loyalty to Liason or attacked any posters.(if you don't believe me, check my posts). I may disagree, but I try to do so respectfully.
And I'm not saying if you don't believe a spoiler you should have to go to the Rant Thread.
However, I don't think there is any difference between ranting and venting.  They are the same, IMO.
There are discussions about spoilers, and then there are posts that consist of nothing but comments like "this show sucks", "I hate Jason and Liz right now", "GH is the worst", "this show sucks".  Those aren't discussions, those are rants.
And I'm not talking about you, I'm just speaking in general. 



And I was not speaking about you or your posts. I was also speaking in general. I guess I just don't like the idea of compartmentalizing my thoughts and posts. If I talk about a spoiler and then want to say that the show sucks because of what is spoiled, then I should be able to do so. I guess we can agree to disagree until the mods say otherwise. I enjoy reading all posts - negative and positive. If I only wanted to read things that agree with my own opinion, I would just have a conversation with the mirror or send myself an email
