i didn't realize there was a general discussion thread here and this thread is not terribly appealing. WOW 

I guess this is a "safe" area to discuss Brooks before, during and after the show and the different opinions of him compared to the fangirling/adoration thread that is the Brooks fan thread.

As opposed to the Chris fan thread where "HRH" practically walks on water? You can't believe that only the Brooks fans are passionate about him and Chris fans don't "fan girl and adore" Chris?

The week before the finale I was chastized when I referred to some here as "extremists". I was never loyal to any of the guys, and I frankly did not root for any of the guys to "win". The quotes above are exactly the ideology I was referring to as "extremist". To me, none of that arguing is appealing.

Actually a point of clarification here, yes we adore Chris but we don't hate on Brooks, major difference....thanks!!!!

Agree on that mercieme. There is a lot of hating on Chris/Des together on the Brooks fanthread. Yes, I bring comments from that thread to here as this is the only place that you can discuss them.

Wow, it's bad.   You are right , and I will stay on the Chris threads and here from now on. ;)

what we ALL saw

 There is no consensus on this.   Some saw a love story only with Brooks.  Some saw a love story that blossomed at the end with Chris.

And some saw no love story with anyone...just lots of edited drama and self preservation.

It doesn't make sense to me.  

Must have had some rhyme or reason. Unlike someone confessing total love for one but accepting a proposal from another.  That's the real

The fact that she did ACCEPT the proposal says that she loved him. I know that because some can't understand why Brooks quit on Des and the show seems to baffle some, the fact that others(lots of others actually)did see a total love story between Des and Chris does show that there was a love story shown, albeit some can't/won't see that or at least admit to seeing it.

My point was that brooks fan have continued to bash chris or chris/des to build up brooks! While I think brooks is about as entertaining as a slice of white bread I'm not constantly bashing him in the chris thread! I don't and haven't seen many chris fans do that at all but it's everyday in brooks ! That's all!! I'll go back to HRH price siegfried worship land as you call you  

All of the threads seems to be doing similar things. I'm a fan of different couples & people so I've seen a lot and I don't really enjoy pumping up one person/couple by criticizing another. Once one starts doing it the others jump in and it can get ugly. I want to defend someone at times but end up deleting my draft because it's just not worth it. To me the most important rule here is not to bash or criticize members. We're going to still be here when a new season starts and you never know who you'll be a fellow fan with. :Nod:

Certainly doesn't pertain to all, and I don't think it's to build up Brooks either. Brooks is a great guy on his own merit.  Not sure what constitutes bashing either.

When something bothers me that I can control, I simply stop doing whatever it is that bothers me.  For instance, I don't visit the Chris and Des fan pages or discussion pages because though I wish them well and believe they are happy together, I'm not interested in continuing to follow them.  So, if Brooks is being bashed or talked about there, or in any other fan threads, it doesn't matter what is being said because I'm not seeing it.  If Brooks fans are in the Chris fan threads posting negatively about Chris (and or Des), I wouldn't know but I would find that unacceptable because it's not allowed in fan threads.

It would be great if all Brooks fans were not grouped together as having the same opinions. I was a Bres fan but really like Chris. Des and Chris will probably be great together and live a long happy life. I wanted Brooks and Des to end up together but Brooks took himself out doing what he thought was best for everyone. Everyone seems happy now so that's great. Sometimes it just takes time to process everything especially because for some the ending was a disappointment and shock. Slowly but surely we will all move on. I stay mostly on the Brooks fan thread because I find all the bickering irritating. Maybe for some that's the goal.

  I was a Bres fan, too, but now that it's no more, I'm simply a Brooks fan. Agree with what you've written, Rolly.

I've said it before, the reason there are separate threads is because people do feel strongly. Some individuals prefer to stay on the Chris fan threads so that they will not have to deal with negative comments about Chris. Some prefer to stay on the Brooks fan threads so they don't have to deal with negative comments on Brooks. Some like to have an objective discussion on the general discussion thread and that's cool too. What's not cool is taking material from one thread and putting it in another when the threads have been separated to reduce conflict. Doing this is asking for trouble.

I would also point out that trashing other posters is not permitted. Many would consider the expression "fangirl" pejorative, and would probably suggest it's not a good way to refer to other posters.

Rudyblue, great post and agree with you totally! :Clap: I think what is said on a fan thread was meant to stay there. This I agree would help to decrease the conflict.

Also, welcome by the way with the above being your 13 post!
