Thanks for encouraging me to enjoy GH because I most certainly do! It makes me laugh, cry & eager for the next episode. That's what I want out of a soap & I am glad Ron & Frank are able to deliver.

I don't watch but my Twitter TL is full of GH tweets that detail every second of the show from people who apparently have nothing better to do. I actually find that sad. It doesn't matter who wrote the article as I find more than half the time the "rumors/spoilers" come true and yet the crap Ron and Frank spew out of their mouths never does...for instance, "You'll be seeing a lot of Robert between now and the time he leaves." That was over a month ago and Robert hasn't logged a total of an hour since. He probably has barely half an hour. I think the whole Robin return was very poorly written and held very little drama and pardon me but isn't a soap supposed to have drama? GH has absolutely none and hasn't had in years. IMHO Ron is nothing more than Guza with fans but I encourage those who like his type of drivel to enjoy it. I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but sometimes your posts come across really arrogant. If you find it "sad" that people tweet about GH because they "have nothing better to do", what does that say about YOU when you follow them? And while I'm not watching GH like I used to, you seem to have a lot of anger toward RC and FV. Maybe it would be best for you not to follow people on twitter that tweet about GH. Just a suggestion.

Marsha:
I so agree with everything you have written, especially RC promising that viewers would be seeing a lot of TR before his exit. Now, I was dubious before about the so-called storyline for Robert in February, but now I feel certain it never existed, especially since later TR said that he knew nothing about it. From what I have seen of Robin's return, it was poorly written, and the little that I have seen, KMc doesn't seem even remotely interested in being there...she appears bored. In my opinion, it was a bad idea to have her return, yet to have her leave once again. However, showing her alive (which I also feel was poor writing) necessitated a return, therefore, I feel that it was all sloppily done. As far as Twitter goes, I have never been a fan....too much negativity, rudeness, and ignorance from certain people. They vent when you express your opinions, yet their opinions are the bible.....too much name calling, and, definitely too much undeserved praise, and butt kissing to RC and FV! JMHO!
Marsha, I have been reading your diary entries, and enjoying them immensely. These entries have done so much in keeping RnH alive. Since we have not been able to depend on the show for a proper story/ending for them, your dedication and loyalty to them through your phenomenal writing, is greatly appreciated. Your Collection of photographs, as well as videos, are also treasures that will keep our favorite couple alive forever! Thank you so much for your dedication, and for sharing your talent with this Board...even though I am not on here that often, whenever I do visit, there is always something I always find from you, a picture, or a funny comment that brightens my day! Thanks, once again.
Priscilla

This board was created to share the Robert and Holly love and it functions best that way. That is the one thing that all of the members of this board share. After that we all have divergent opinions about GH and GH characters. There are people on this board who love Anna, there are people who hate Anna. There are people on this board who love Luke, there are people who hate Luke. There are people on this board who love Sonny, there are people who hate Sonny. I think the best way for everyone to respect others points of view is for all posters to just stick to posting about their Robert and Holly love. Nobody can kill or rewrite us out of our Robert and Holly love. I don't want to see this board deteriate as other boards have.
Robert and Holly love beats all!!!!!

Tidewater- I agree 100%. This is not going to go the way of other boards that got snarky and hateful. I just can't let it happen. Disagreeing is fine but lets not turn it in to personal attacks. I am not enjoying GH Much these days but I'm glad some people are. And I still haven't missed an eppy since 06.
Also, I don't want to come across as bitchy but if you have a personal message for one person, PM is the way to go.
I'm going to leave the discussion up as it is, but if it continues to go downhill I will delete the thread.
Apologies for my scarceness here. I have neglected the board and just the other day got around to changing the banner. I will try to do better.

I, too, agree about our common interest, support, and displaying of our Robert/Holly love is the main purpose of the Board. As for as my latest post is concerned, my comment about not believing RC's comment about seeing a lot of Robert before his departure is something I stand by. The comment was made due to my RnH love. I was hoping to see much more of Robert, thus wishing that his presence would lead to a Holly mention, or a clue that his leaving would lead to a RnH reunion.
My comment on the Robin return storyline was an opinion on how the storyline was handled, and why I did not like it. It was an opinion, and I did not think opinions were not allowed on the Board. My comment about Twitter was an opinion also. I have seen many opinions, comments, and remarks on here that were very harsh and, in my opinion, downright rude, and no one received a slap on the hand. So, explain this, is it actually the comments, or whom the comments are from?
Lastly, I did not know that it was against the Board's rules to address a Board member with a brief message. I have been guilty of it in the past, only because I have seen it done by others. I have no problem with sending personal messages.

I just don't want to start a trend, especially given what I feel is "hostility" brewing. And I'm not directing that at YOU specifically. It's just the tone the thread has taken. I have no problem with people who aren't happy with GH. All opinions are welcome, as long as it doesn't become snarky or personal. This board is for fun, after all.

I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but sometimes your posts come across really arrogant.

And while I'm not watching GH like I used to, you seem to have a lot of anger toward RC and FV. Maybe it would be best for you not to follow people on twitter that tweet about GH. Just a suggestion. Okay so I've not been on here in a few days. I've been busy with a sister who's in congestive heart failure, so that puts things in perspective for me. My mood could be better. I've just read all this and personally see nothing so wrong or out of hand but I can see this started because of my post and dislike for Ron. Let me just say lakesgirl, if you find my post arrogant, don't respond to them. If my opinion isn't something you agree with then by all means bypass it and move on. That's what grown ups do. I do that ALL THE TIME. As for who I follow or who follows me on twitter...well consider this...tweets on the TL are not only from those you follow but re-tweets and conversations from those you follow so all the GH stuff doesn't necessarily come from those I follow, they may be things re-tweeted. As for how you take my post as arrogant or however you read into them, that's your problem, they're merely an opinion. Last I checked we all got them and they're all worth the same, not a damn thing. As for this who ha you see starting Commish, I apologize for stating an unpopular opinion. I realize there are those here who love Anna and Luke and even praise Ron and Frank. They in turn, if they've read anything from me, know I hate both characters and have a strong dislike for the other two, but I have never said they shouldn't like them or chastised them for liking them. I've said before, it's a good thing that so many fans like a diverse group of characters as it keeps the show going. No one actor on the show could keep it on the air for such a long time. But in the future I will refrain from posting about anything that happened post 1985. Hope that stops all this. priscilla, thanks for the nice words. I appreciate them.

I am going to say one thing- then I am out. It's not the opinions. For me, it's how the opinions are stated. "I don't like this crap, but if you like drivel or enjoy garbage- good for you" type of comments or calling a character that someone else might enjoy by a nasty name. There's just no reason for it. It's degrading to other people. We all have opinions- popular or unpopular. We all don't have to agree. We should be able to disagree without putting someone else down for liking what they like. Even if that isn't the intent- it's what happens. The negativity can be overwhelming and unpleasant. As for just scroll passed it, by the time I read it- it's already too late.
I don't enjoy GH as much as I used to. It seems there isn't time for in-depth writing and I miss that. I still enjoy Duke and Anna and I even like Sonny's storyline. Some of the character- I wouldn't mind disappearing. I am glad that GH continues because hope springs eternal and I want to see Robert & Holly on my screen again.
Scorpio2011- I hope your sister is doing better.
