Unlurks briefly: There's a lot of judgmental 'because of past comments by x people, all supporters of male viera are y' - which is naturally bait. No one has to apologize for that and no one should be in here demanding that. Stop being baited, stop throwing out the bait. If someone comes in here and says that, ignore their comment. It LITERALLY is not worth the time. The people who reacted poorly in the past... DID SO. And that is not on the people who are NOT reacting poorly now. So that is that. Also, if people are just coming in and throwing out bait comments of 'I hate the idea of male viera, I hope you all never get them!' That's bait, right? They have a right to voice their comments, sure. WHY they'd choose to come into a 'support' thread to do so... aside from being petty, is a bit beyond me... but hey, they can. But like the other, there's zero reason to respond to it. They voiced their opinion, ignore it and move on.

You want this to be a positive thread, and for a very long time it HAS been. I've lurked here since the thread was created. I've seen its ups and downs. I've watched a lot of the petty bait get tossed around. I've watched a lot of the debates, and they've been interesting or recycled. But there's zero reason to get repeatedly baited by the same things. Acknowledge that there are people who are going to try to dredge up stuff and just brush it off. There's no reason to respond to each and every attempt to point fingers at people who didn't do things or, if they were done, were also moved past and previously apologized for. It's become a habit to drag anyone who wants male viera and it's a little pathetic to use such childish reasons as I've seen the lasts few pages. Everyone can maturely say 'I'd like to see this added' and talk about how they'd like to see it without being rude to each other. That's all that is needed. There is ZERO reason to be petty or rude to each other and NO reason to wish ill or say that the other people should NOT get something they like or want. NONE.
