i exalt you gambita and your right; just because we all like different ships doen't mean we should kill each other to prove our point, we can like different ships and still be friends and prove our point in a non violent manner

Wow, this is exactly what this forum needed. Needless to say, this is part of the reason I was on hiatus from this board for quite a few months. I was tired of the Kataangs and personally, I was tired of the Zutarians. We're all human, but apparently we don't really act human.
Your post is the most beautiful thing I have read. It makes the Zutara side of me happy. I'm glad you pointed out the different levels of bashing since those who really do bash, need to be taken care of.
Ever since of CotL, I've stayed clear of the war rooms since there has been so much mayhem...but since I've left, things have really clean up and I'm happy to see a less violent realtionship board. Now I'm not afraid to enter!
My only problem is, is that other ships just need to learn to respect others. Just like everything else, these are our opinions. I'm a die hard Zutara shipper but that doesn't give me the right to go and bash the other ships...and that includes when Zutara has it's high points. Back when the Waterbending Scroll came out we were the "kings" of debating and what not, but that still didn't give us the right to bash others.
I think what people have a hard time accepting is that all ships have equal chances of happening. For all we know, Bumi could be going out with Gran Gran before Kataang or Zutara ever becomes canon...it's really all up to the creators and we have to learn to respect that.
Another thing that bugs me, is that all shippers don't think before they bash someone. I accept all pairings, it's just that I like Zutara more, and if anyone bashed me I know I'd be mad...that is why I left, it's just that all shippers need to put that into consideration.

^Karma to you Spirit Oasis and of course you gambitia. You are my hero gambitia. You are the Dr. King of the DH forum. I said this in another thread, about how a majority of these ship bashers are people primarily between the ages of 13-17 and show an awful amount of immaturity when doing so. This is why I usually stay away from the Relationships forum as much as possible. All I have to say is that it's a dissapointment that a lot of people can't post the topics that they want to on the Relationships forum because it might spark an arguement and then they risk loosing their account for someone ELSE'S stupidity and immaturity. Everyone on this forum is obliged to their opinion without someone rudely flaming them. I'm a supporter of Kataang and all, but I'm not going to hate every Zutarian I come along just because they believe in something I don't believe in. To be honest, I'm lean more toward the non-shipper category than an actual shipper, because I find it fairly- dare I say it?- stupid and immature to be fighting over some people on paper (But then again, that's what fans do. Fight and debate over people. People on paper.). I just think Kataang is cute is all. I go on polls that say, "Who's Better for Aang?" and "The Right Guy for Katara" and I want to write what I think about it. But unfortunately, the other veterans of this site tell them that they are in danger of getting PMed by the staff if they keep making the same forum topics. Then I read the line from the thread starter, "I didn't mean to start an arguement. I just wanted to have fun..." And that makes me sad a angry at the same time that the immaturity of some people will ruin it for the others. Come on people. We all learned how to play nice in Kindergarten. Remember what Thumper's mom said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." So Kataangs and Zutarians, you're obliged to your opinion(s), but don't take the other shippers opinions so personally. We're here on this forum to make friends, not enemies. (When I think about this situation, it's too much like segregation. )

I'm not sure if the Kataang group should have to make concessions for the Zutara group simply because Zutara is apparentely outmatched. Though I don't understand the situation very well, it didn't seem that Zutara was required to make concessions for Kataang when things were the other way around.
As for Song/Zuko fans, even if you percieve their chanting as annoying, it doesn't seem bad-spirited. Why not let them be?
I have a few ideas on how bashers and gushers can coexist in the same board, and I'll post those soon.

I wasn't here before, but I believe it was that bad at one point. And gambitia is right, I completely agree with her 100%.

Is it that bad here? I'm new and haven't faught at all, so I don't know =/ From my own point of view, it never really was. We always had and will always have our share of terrorizers, and each one is different from the next. It's just a matter of how some of them deal with them. I leave them the heck alone- they're not bothering me. So most of us are pretty decent, and even if I can't stand a lot of people on this board, I and the others all get along pretty well with each other. Some of us are intense and passionate for our ship, some of us are deep and logical and can write essays for discussions like no other, and some like me prefer to stand on the sidelines and support their ship through other ways. Of course, it's mostly spam now on this board so you'll fit right in. EDIT: Plus, many people have left and become inactive and so many more have come. The RB's dynamics have changed a lot so we're completely different than what we were five months ago. So on one hand somebody could say that we've gone downhill, but from somebody's elses POV it could be that we've only changed and gone down a different path.

Heh, I'm a Kataang fan but I have a ton of fun talking with the Zutara shippers in their War room. It's nice to see that a lot of the fans really are more mature than people like to give them credit for. It's just a few bad folks and trolls that need watching out for.
