Hey there. I'm only writing in response to your entry in Black Books and I'm writing you personally because apparently, those guys are out with their hatchets. O_o Some even got really condescending and insulting...
I actually think you got a point there. I really love the show but these were two things I didn't quite like, either. Of course it's funny to have two completely different characters but sometimes, I agree, Bernard takes it too far. And yes, I have wondered as well why Manny is so stupid all of a sudden. Of course I still love it but those are two flaws of the show for me.
Aww, thank you so much for writing this! I just read the new comments, and... wow. I was not expecting that kind of a reaction! o_O
It's good to hear I'm not alone. I thought people might not get defensive about the show (I've seen that a lot in fandoms) if I said I loved it, but apparently I wasn't clear enough.
I think it's kinda sad that you can't offer even the slightest criticism without being followed by a mob with torches and pitchforks. It was always my opinion that people who criticize something moderately are the ones most devoted to the thing - a TV Show, a club, even a country. And you weren't flaming or anything. And, as I said, you were quite right. And it saddens me deeply that apparently, you can't speak your mind in a fandom without being crushed. That aggressiveness really shocked me.
And it wasn't you to be not clear enough. I guess they just didn't believe you. You know, "since you're criticizing it, you can't be a fan" and so on. Sod them. ^______________^
P.S.: I just left the Black Books community. I don't want to be in one community with such intolerant, petty pricks. I can enjoy the show my own way. ^^

So there you go: You're not alone. ;)
