Anything Goes

--- Quote from: mezzosoprano on April 24, 2007, 02:37:29 PM ---I was actually looking for opinions not ALREADY discussed in the book threads and expected to find more author, thinker types rather than big time fans there. I wanted to get a thoughtful response that addressed that issue and not just whether or not people like the character. I was trying to get an opinion on how it would affect the series ongoing. Unfortunately, that is not what happened. Had the person who responded given his answer to the question first, and the suggestion that it might get more attention on another board after that, I might not have been so offended. But it DOES say "anything goes". It just doesn't seem to mean it.

The board subdivisions are in place for a reason, as DRD2001 points out. I'm tempted to give you a second warning, but I'll settle for an apology to DRD2001 and anyone else you might have spoiled for your failure to include warnings in your original "Charity" post. I'll also overlook your insinuation that those who post on the Dresden Files boards are of a lower intellectual caliber than those who hang out on the McAnally's board, but don't test me. My "good cop" attitude only extends so far.
I find your train of logic fairly perplexing, and your flaunting of the board guidelines is NOT appreciated. We don't feel it's too much to ask that you respect the rules of the community.

That is NOT what I meant. I certainly did NOT mean to imply that at all. I was looking for people who might have more experience in working out plot lines and developing story arcs. The fans know what they WANT to see, but that may not work in the actual plot lines. I certainly had NO intention of offending the last poster. I was responding to what he had to say and TRYING to say what my intentions were.

I understand your concerns. However, there is significant overlap among the frequenters of the Dresden and McAnally's forums, so you really don't need to worry about finding the "right" group of people to exchange ideas. Therefore, we ask that you respect the delineations of the boards and post Dresden-related speculation in the Dresden spoilers section.
I'm still waiting for that apology to DRD2001, by the way.
DRD2001:
I appreciate the consideration Priscillie, but I'm fine. As I said, things like spoilers are bound to happen. For everyone who's read the books years ago, I know it must be hard to remember that some of us are quite new.
And mezzosoprano, I hope you find the discussion you're looking for. There does seem to be quite a few writers on this board and I'm sure once you all connect, you'll be able to share a lot of insight on things like plot and character development.
This just seems to be one of those "live and learn" type situations. I'm still alive, so I guess I learned something. ;)
mezzosoprano:
DRD2001, I had actually quit this forum, but read your last post and rejoined so that I can respond to you. I certainly did not intend to offend you in any way and did not think I had. Let's please all remember there is no tone of voice in a post. When I read "anything goes" I thought that included spoilers if it could be called that. If it spoiled anything for you, I am sorry for that, it was not my intent. My intent was as I stated above. I even went back and deleted my own posts and "zipped my lip" so as not to spoil anything further. That was simply an oops.
