ARE THESE THREADS REALLY HEALTHY FOR DISCUSSION ???

[m_23_bayarea]

Guys, I have been seeing in all these years at the HUB that very often, we have discussions/arguments around threads like these ...

* The BEST _____!

* The BIGGEST _____!

* The No.1 _____!

* The MOST POPULAR _____!

* X vs Z!

* The top 5 _____ of all time!

* Your favorite ______!

* The next BIGGEST or BEST or No. 1!

etc etc ....

If you notice, almost all these threads will at some point end up in the arguments around my favorite person is the best, and everybody else only follows him/her .... And we just totally forget the fact that ppl have different tastes, and one's favorite is a result of one's SUBJECTIVE nature only! Some of the consequences of these arguments have been ....

* Elevating one's favorite to almost God-hood!

* Degrading one's non-favorite to almost Trash!

* Comparing apples and oranges, especially two legends that belonged to different generations!

* Getting personal with fellow hubbers that have different opinions!

* Ganging up with fellow hubbers and goin after some hubber who doesnt have too much company!

* Some hubbers getting banned as a result!

I have created a very simple YES or NO poll for this topic ... I just want to know what all you ppl think abt this ... My choice is obviously NO for all the above-mentioned consequences ... Let's see if we're on the same page!

Enlighten with some feedback friends!

[thamiz]

bay!!!

This is the first time I see kolly's thamizh post! :D

Somehow you made kolly to write in thamizh! I know it is all the influence of "thamizh" from pokkiri! :)

[Kollywoodfan]

I've written in tamil many times...but I'm not a good typer (altho I can speak well) and mess up words badly so they ending looking like baby talk.

Haha...I don't think the westernized THAMIZH!!! song had anything to do with it! :wink:

[thamiz]

I thought you can hardly ever speak in thamizh! Again, as I told you, I am a slow-learner and have some learning disabilities! That is my lame excuses of course :lol:

:poke: :poke: No, no I was born in the US yet speak tamil very well. Not bragging, but just I learned and watched tamil movies from a very young age and kept up with the language. relatives and friends here are always shocked. But I can't write or write in eng. Ok, let's stop this and get back to the topic of the thread....What is it again? :rotfl:

[thamiz]

Good to know that kolly the thamizh!

Dont worry, kolly, This thread is meant for chatting only. I thought you knew that! :lol:

[Kollywoodfan]

Ok Ok...so have u seen all of the Pongal releases?? :)

[Nerd]

[thamiz]

Yeah, but have not watched pokkiri fully.

Thamarabarani is certainly better than aazvaar, kolly. This one time I agree with sify's reviews and bo report as well> :)

[m_23_bayarea]

BAY, where are you :evil:

[m_23_bayarea]

[m_23_bayarea]

Bay,

I mentioned abt Hubbers who r immature and topics like A Vs Z, who is the best would provoke them.

U r Most welcome

[Kollywoodfan]

Fine... :irked: :irked: you want feedback?

Well I think that regardless if there are fans, someone is ALWAYS bound to get disappointed. But that is the name of the game, we all have different opinions and regardless of our feuds it's fun to share them in a way that won't hurt the other person. People who use these things for immature personal attacks (at this point it has nothing to do with stars) are the people who r making these threads "unhealthy" like thalaifan says.

Happy now? :angry2:

[m_23_bayarea]

Yeah am happy now! :P

But again, I hope you understand this thread has NOTHING to do with anybody's recent attacks! This issue has been in my mind for more than 2 years ... Everytime there's an argument or some crazy comparison, I just couldnt understand the POINT of such discussions ... Why cant we all just focus on the positives and the activities of our own favorites, and let alone the negatives of OTHERS is my question!

:D

Bay,

This thread is a good one :thumbsup: but since u had the idea 2 yrs back, u shoul'd have done this long back.

i entered this hub, after witnessing all the healthy arguments, but for the past few weeks it is :evil: some personal attacks spoil the show.

But a definite thumbs up for this thread, hopefully we would not have any more arguments like A Vs Z, the best ------ Etc....

[Kollywoodfan]

A vs. Z?? :? What's that thalaifan?

[thalaifan]

A vs. Z?? :? What's that thalaifan?

K.F Its Just Alphabets.. 8-)
A Vs Z = (A Vs V) Understood :roll:

AAHA... :lol: Ok...bay, honestly what did u hope to get out of this thread...maybe we can all join together and make sure that it happens. :)

Kolly, as if you dont understand my first post! I thought I explained it well enough ... :roll:

All you got to tell me is whether yo're ok with the nature of threads I pointed out or not ... Simple YES or NO! :P

I voted already :o don't worry. But I mean, it's not enough to JUST DISCUSS these problems and "enlighten" others because obviously all have different opinions and this can end up as a bigger disaster.

I think we should think of a solution or come to some sort of truce, so that we can avoid this all. :wink:

DISCUSSION leads to a SOLUTION ... But even to have a discussion, you need to STATE the problem in hand ... And that's the purpose of this thread! :)

PS: Thanks a lot for unlocking this thread MODS! :D

[m_23_bayarea]

Wow, it's half and half on the poll! This is good ... Would like to know the vote-count when this poll saturates! :D
