State of the Muppets - An Opinion

[CensoredAlso]

I feel like merging them could incite some fights over disagreeing opinions--and no one wants that.

No I understand, it is a possibility. I guess I just fell sad that they need to be separate at all to ward against that.

But I understand how you started the thread and that wasn't what you intended.

It is a little confusing to read through it now. It does seem like it could cause more of an argument with the two threads combined, though I think we're kind of past that at this point. I don't think a heated arguement is likely anymore.

Besides, I was purposefully trying to avoid posting in Frogster's original thread. I felt the original post was a little insulting, implying that my taste in entertainment was poor simply because I like modern Muppet productions. I am glad he expressed his opinion, a healthy, peaceful argument is okay every now and again, but that was my initial feeling about the thread... which is also why I was glad theprawncracker posted a seperate thread. It allowed me to express my opinion openly, without feeling like I was trying to cause problems.

I see how combining the threads makes sense, but it is a little confusing. I have to agree with prawnie:

... if I had intended my post to be a direct response to Frogster's I would've posted it in his thread--but I didn't, because I wanted it to be a place for people to share their agreeing opinions, and I think that's what Frogster wanted too.

Merging=not good to me . I think that two different povs should not be forced together until they decide to talk for themselves..Peace is nice, but to be long lasting, it can't be forced IMHO

Thanks Jamie, Redsonga, and Super Scoot.

Uh yeah, I was just about to make a post asking where Prawnie's thread went, but I found it, in here. :/ Ed, I think that Prawnie's more than proven that he has judgement enough to tell whether or not a post is appropriate in it's own thread or not, and I don't appreciate how you're messing with the conversation and the intention of these threads.

I'm gonna be honest and say that this sort of thing was what I was referring to in my "Censorship" thread...

Can it even be undone?

I propose we go back to 2 threads.
-State of the Muppets: Bleak (by frogster)
-State of the Muppets: Good (by theprawncracker)
This gives both threads distinct differences from the titles that reflect the content.

Prawnie - if you started your own thread again you'd have my support. Count does a great job, but I don't think he intended this confusion.

I was purposely keeping quiet on both of these threads, but I have to be honest; I don't understand why either thread was even created in the first place because they're both set off from the Studio DC thread. Personally I think all of this should have stayed in that thread. Just my opinion.

When did Mark write for the Muppets? All I know is he wrote Mother Goose and Grimm and Garfield's Saturday morning cartoon shows.

I was getting of topic and referring to Garfield and Friends to make a point.

And before airing it, they could air reruns of the classic ones that've came before! Add in Zorro and we have two-thirds of Vault Disney back!

I dunno? It's a pretty big vault.

Peace is nice, but to be long lasting, it can't be forced IMHO

I could not agree with you more!

I agree with Vic, the two threads are about the same topic of a thread that has already been posted and I'm considering merging the threads there.

Furthermore, I canNOT understand why, on a Muppets Fan Forum, there would ever be any arguing or angry posts? It's just silly. Yes, we're all fans and passionate about what we are fans of; but, when did all the fans lose sight that we're here to celebrate Jim Henson's legacy and that makes us like a family?

Sure, families have disputes, but there are diplomatic ways to solve those disputes without being snide, snippy, or flaming or having arguments.

Officially asking: Please stop discussing how arguments could begin, stay on topic, and share opinions diplomatically.
