We have a grown woman having a complete meltdown because people aren't singing praises to some fictional character from some leftist American soap opera in every single post. Apparently, the moderators are taking bribes, too, since they won't just decapitate every snake who dares to say the Force broke her stockings and put their heads on a pike. And it doesn't stop there—she’s spun this entire fantasy into a massive Conspiracy involving the moderators, the users, and even Jimmy Hoffa (look him up ☕), all while insulting everyone like a common thug. Even though the entire legion of female users gave you plenty to think about online, you’re still wasting hours and hours lamenting. And frankly, the whole performance is getting more ridiculous and nonsensical by the minute.

So, no... I am not going to ask you what the question was. I truly couldn't care less.

If I didn't understand why there were so many complaints about you before, I certainly do now.
Absolute rock bottom.

Jeremy Reyes5 said:Yes, I read it. But I singled you out specifically because of your opening post on this thread.
You spend all this time accusing us of hating the Force character, claiming we’re biased or whatever—it's exhausting.
Basically, you’re defending a fictional character, acting disgusted that someone else doesn't like him, and in the process, you end up insulting another character—and honestly, the users here too.
I’m just trying to figure out which specific post of mine actually broke the rules—since I haven't been penalized for those yet.
I’m attempting to understand what the actual grievance is, especially when this example shows how some of you treat other characters exactly the same way—while the regular users get caught in the crossfire.
I don't care for the Heroine Force character; that’s my opinion, my perspective. It shouldn't be this difficult to accept that Person A, Person B, and Person C see things differently—we don't all view life, or even the show, through the same lens. Or are we all supposed to think exactly alike now? 🤷
I’m struggling to grasp how and when a fictional character became more important than actual people—and our actual feelings.
Did you ever stop to consider how it feels for any of us to read posts where we're labeled as being unhinged, masochistic, hysterical, or unintelligent? (And thank God there are lawyers, economists, and doctors among us—how could we possibly be that dim?) Did you even try to put yourself in the shoes of the real people reading your words? Or is defending a fictional character against so-called "attacks" more important to you than treating the rest of us with basic decency?

??
Is that really what I wrote to you all?

To be completely blunt and transparent;
there have been all sorts of comments on this thread (the girls have already quoted them) saying things like she deserved it, she's an idiot, she got what was coming to her, he endures more than anyone else... (honestly, I can't even repeat some of it)
And then there's my comment stating that only women who are just like that, if not worse, would write such things.
I didn't see that those of you who spoke up here actually wrote that. Nor did I mention you or those forum members specifically. I don't deal in that; it is absolutely beneath me.
And the insults toward Boran? 🤣 What can I say... I just continued in a review-style tone on the thread, simply pivoting to someone who isn't even being honored here... just trying to add a little nuance to the whole situation.🤣

I am writing about the constant repetition of the same old thing on this thread, especially when the script isn't even remotely on Boran's side (even though I like him much more than the Force) yet nobody (well, almost nobody, it reminded me of the folks over at Soho 🙏) who have already picked sides will admit it. That's why, to me, this whole thing feels unrealistic, forced, and exhausting to read.

mistytrucker15 wrote what she wrote, and I received my answers. It seems to me you're all just being stubborn for the sake of it. It's not stubbornness toward the Force, nor is it toward me... it's directed at one of the forum members who insulted you in one way or another.
Unfortunately, for those of us who aren't involved in that drama, it isn't sympathetic or interesting; it's just incomprehensible and draining.

Kenneth Cruz73 said:Morning... 🙂
Honestly, I have to wonder—what does any of this actually have to do with the current situation?!...
There certainly is—if you're going to set something in motion and start making claims, you really ought to see it through to the end...
Regarding the points I made in my first post—I already laid them out and explained exactly why they don't hold up...
I only wrote that because I felt like I was being indirectly called out in my first post—and then directly targeted by Gerald Bailey88 and Jonathan Martinez11...
Should I have just stayed quiet and let them pin all those blatant absurdities on me...?!
I suppose I have the right to share my actual thoughts regarding this fictional character—the one that’s led people to slap all these labels on me... which really aren't a reflection of any normal, civilized discussion on the Dove series, Force volume 1, or how things are being handled here...
Honestly, I am deeply disappointed in Keith Diaz5 for being the one to kick off this thread—because even though we see Force differently, I really felt that we agreed on so many other scenes in the series... and we've always managed to keep our debates fair and respectful...
And why did I even chime in? Well, I think it’s pretty obvious from my last post...
And why are you even asking this now...?

Dear Keith Diaz5...
So, does that mean I'm officially part of the group being described in this post and a few others from earlier...?
What exactly do I have to do with Gerald Bailey88 or Didi...

Well, just take a moment to read back through your own post... then draw your own conclusions...

Dear Keith Diaz5...
So many girls hanging out on Dove are watching Force, yet they hardly ever chime in on the thread—so let's just dive right in with something quick: S.N.O.B...Didi (bananas coming very soon)...Well, that was certainly something... just a quick note to say hello—hope everyone is having a wonderful day!evigilli, Jonathan Martinez11 (also known as banana)I can't quite recall the rest—but I will say this: there are so many people who won't even bother commenting because of the atmosphere over there... Most of Cansa's fans are likely following the show, yet somehow, I don't see them appearing in the thread. Or am I just imagining things...?

Well, just in case you didn't intend to start some kind of negative landslide with your very first post—not that you were indirectly calling anyone out, of course—take a look at your own entry...
Does any of this actually make sense—and what exactly was the goal here...?
It looks like ambermason16 is being blamed for everything—and now everyone is throwing stones...
Why?! Just because we aren't being objective—and apparently don't "see things clearly" enough...
Let's not act like little kids—we aren't... we are all adults with our own views and beliefs, but that’s no excuse to sink to such low levels of communication just because we disagree. There's really no need to trade "cheap shots" or start attacking one another personally over some fictional character...
Well, like someone else said here... who knows? Maybe during the next Dove thread—or any other topic we dive into—our opinions will actually align...
So, where does that leave us... even if things never quite line up... honestly, it doesn't even matter—what counts is that we're all healthy and doing well, and that everyone out there in the real world is living their own life exactly how they see fit, rather than how others expect them to live...
I decided to speak up—not just because I was tagged, but because this baseless and frankly pointless attack on ambermason16 is unnecessary... She’s simply doing her job to the best of her ability, and if anyone has issues or critiques regarding her work, there are much more appropriate ways to handle things than the behavior we've seen here...
And yes—I stand behind everything I’ve written on the Force thread and right here too—not just as Kenneth Cruz73, but as a real person of flesh and blood... regardless of how that sounds... or however anyone chooses to interpret it...

I included the usernames because ambermason16 insisted it would help me explain what I was talking about. I had no intention of dragging anyone into this; I wasn't trying to implicate or insult anyone on this thread.

Now I see that I've been pulled into something (and let's be real, I managed to pull myself into it), because I don't sit in front of my computer twenty-four hours a day, so I haven't kept up with every single bit of banter and everything happening among all the forum members.
mistytrucker15 wrote that the topic is what it is because of Didi and Gerald Bailey88 (whoever 🤷),as my response to something that was... I don't even know.

If you want my honest opinion, the whole subject is completely unreadable to anyone who isn't part of one specific clique or another (like myself), and that is exactly why I started this thread. Even if I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to achieve with this topic at first, everything has finally crystallized now.
It is truly unfortunate that you feel targeted; if it were coming from me, you shouldn't feel that way.🤷

Because of things that went down a while back, my very presence here was immediately misinterpreted as a direct attack on the Moderator in the worst possible light (when all I was actually asking for was a simple comment on the topic)—labeling me as one of those crazed women obsessed with imaginary characters, or just some hater targeting a few female forum members.

Tell me, am I at least right about that much?

edit: I was complaining about the overall atmosphere, and I honestly feel bad that it’s like that over there... Maybe you all are having a blast, but for us outsiders, the vibe is pretty terrible—an atmosphere you naturally don't notice because it works perfectly fine for you.

Jeremy Reyes5 said:Keith Diaz5 I don't have anything against you personally—really. This is a public forum, and if someone decides to call me out, I can't just sit there and take it; I’ll step in and respond.

What you’ve laid out isn't exactly building an altar to the Force—nor is it a direct insult to it—but it certainly feels like a slap in the face to us women on these forums.

I’m taking her side—mostly because I don't have any other option left. My stomach can only take so much—just endless reading about what a total airhead she is, or what a hysterical bitch, or how completely brainless she acts. I guess I'll just leave it at that. Just another phrase I hear constantly from the hysterical, uneducated crowd—people who clearly lack any sense of perspective.
I don't talk about people like that in my actual life—honestly, I usually just tune out when I run into stuff like this.

What a contradiction—a total paradox, really.
So you claim to despise insulting fictional characters—you find the whole idea of disrespecting them repulsive—yet in that very same post, you turn around and tell the other members: Hysterical, mindless—and things of that nature. Of course—everything is being blamed on that one woman, that single individual—as if we're all too dim to realize exactly who she is.
I suppose I have to defend this fictional character—not that anyone here actually cares for the truth—but some things are worth standing by, even if the rest of you just want to stir the pot.
And don't go talking about anyone like that in real life—though, to be fair, you did just write exactly what you said above.

Dalje nastavljaš:

Honestly, it’s just exhausting—beyond draining, really. It’s exhausting—really—reading about the same old faces and the same tired stories over and over again.
I have to hand it to those women who get so deeply invested in obsessing over one specific character—it’s almost impressive how they manage to make that their entire personality, time after time. Just pounding away at it—sort of like how I used to hammer nails back in my old workshop days—just keeping at it. It’s all the same thing—really.

Well, then you write (this is regarding a fictional character)—

I'm taking her side—honestly. I honestly don't have the stomach for reading nothing but endless complaints about how much of a fool she is—or which hysterical bitch is being unintelligent today.

Then you should just write:

Agatha has completely lost all credibility in my eyes after that whole mess with Emre—she really showed her true colors there. Raw material. Mardinska—it’s going to be hard to ever look at him the same way again.

So, you aren't defending the insults thrown at one fictional character—instead, you're just insulting the forum members and another fictional character in the process. Or perhaps you'll claim that calling people hysterical, moronic, or pure unrefined nonsense isn't actually an insult. Typical.😕

And then there are our rules, which state the following:

Just trolling, gaslighting, and... Personal attacks of any kind—no matter the reason—are strictly prohibited. Don't bother returning fire when people start throwing insults—it’s just not worth the energy. Just leave the heavy lifting to the Moderators.

1. Everyone’s perspective is welcome here—even if you happen to disagree with the consensus or need to call out a mistake or a questionable move. Just keep it civil; please refrain from insults, intolerance, or intentionally stirring the pot just because you hold a different view.
2. Respect other people's perspectives. Just because you're a fan of a certain character or work doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way—they don't. Please stop reporting well-reasoned posts just because their only "flaw" is that they disagree with you. Any attempt to bully or attack someone for having a different opinion on this forum—on any topic—will be met with the strictest penalties.

You're accusing us of making things up or being biased simply because we don't share YOUR exact views. Well, you wrote what you wrote, and that's your prerogative.

Dear Xavier, I have already been penalized for those two posts, and I know exactly why.
Did you actually read what I wrote?

mistytrucker15 said:Is it just me, or is this whole situation incredibly awkward?

I’m actually one of those controversial names listed in Jeremy Reyes5's signature...
To be honest, I don't personally know any of the other women mentioned there, and I haven't even exchanged a single private message with most of them..

Regarding the moderation duties for this thread?
Do you people honestly believe there are only two other souls in this entire World who find watching this show as existentially vital as you clearly do..?

And the Moderators?
Personally, I've been banned plenty of times, and right now I'm sitting on a massive 100-point penalty... I've definitely tasted the bitterness of being sidelined before..

Since we're laying all our cards on the table, I might as well say this too;
I can't—and frankly, I couldn't care less to try—prove that you are actually Gerald Bailey88, the dear ex Didi..
But since I simply refuse to believe there's anyone else out there so profoundly disconnected from reality, I'm just taking that assumption as a given..
Because of that, I'd say the Force theme turned into what it is today the very moment you had that little cute nervous breakdown of yours, after which you rose from the ashes under this new handle and kept up your ridiculous fight against windmills..
Our "criminal" tendency to band together started as a sort of joke reacting to the mess you created back then..

Truthfully, I don't even want to be part of this debate, and as an adult woman, I feel a good amount of shame over everything happening here..

I'm checking in for one and only one reason,
to stand up for someone who is being targeted by a completely irrational onslaught from a few people who obviously have way too much free time and a total lack of actual life problems—and I'm not sure whether to envy them or pity them..

It’s clear now that you all are pulling on strings from a long time ago—strings I was too much of a fool to even realize existed.

So, does that mean I also fall into the category of people described in this and several posts before?
What exactly is my connection to Sevgila or Didi... or whoever else? I just posted a comment regarding one of the topics on the forum—the title was changed, mind you, I only wrote a single comment—and now, because ambermason16 apparently decided to change her tune, she’s convinced I’m in league with Sevgila and that I'm complaining about the Moderators. And for that, I get honored? Honestly, it makes no sense.

ambermason16 said:Dear ladies, thanks for stepping up. You all jumped headfirst into this mess completely on your own initiative..

As for these thread-starters, I don't have much to say, except it looks like your little "I’m typing, but I have no clue what I’m saying or why I’m even typing" campaign isn't going exactly according to plan..

And you, Jonathan Martinez11, stay out of other members' business. Especially those who used to frequent Dove forums but aren't members there anymore. I know everything there is to know regarding Kenneth Cruz73 and Asi62's handles, and all I'll say is that the reason was absolutely justified, wasn't controversial at all, and was approved by the Moderator. So, you can go look for a new sensation on some other message board, because, much to everyone's delight, the door to this one is locked to you.

🤦

I have called on you several times to answer the questions I asked you directly, yet you persistently ignore me.
Don't you dare ask me to repeat the questions, because that would be incredibly rude, even if I were to overlook the fact that you are ignoring everything I have written here.

These are my posts that were likely deleted, which I still have in my private messages since I was penalized for what I wrote (I don't hold a grudge, I see why), and I am putting them here to demonstrate that we aren't all people who spit on Force just because we are fans of the characters and the work.

I haven't watched Ezel; I'm watching Cansa for the first time. I am not a fan of anyone, not even her.
I'm certainly not similar to her character, though in terms of looks... well, let's just say she's been crossed out, if you catch my drift.

I am taking her side simply because I don't have the stomach to read nothing but talk about what a fool she is, what a hysterical bitch she is, how unintelligent she is, and a heap of other words that I mostly hear from hysterical, unintelligent, and similar individuals.
I don't speak about anyone like that in real life, so I generally cringe when I read such things.

While Boran clearly has an obvious problem with anger management, excuses are constantly found for him, whereas Force is spat upon the moment the slightest reason exists.
So I find myself wondering... who is actually obsessed with an imaginary character here?
Is it those who are just waiting to spit on her, or those who defend her unconditionally? At least those people admit they are fans of hers.

I don't even read more than half the posts here anymore; the back-and-forth bickering and little jabs people throw at each other all day long aren't interesting to me at all.
I read the posts of those who actually summarize their impressions and provide reasoned arguments regarding the characters, rather than just "she's a stupid woman," and thank God that Aga finally spoke up—he should have done so sooner.

There are excellent women on this thread whose posts I gladly read regardless of our differing opinions, and I have no problem admitting that in some episodes, Force was the one that messed up.

To me, Aga completely lost standing in my eyes after the episode with Emre; he showed what a brute Mardinska is, and it will be hard for me to ever regain my previous opinion of him.
I am inclined to forgive characters if the writers make them do it, because to me, this is just a show and nothing more, so I generally just keep watching and enjoying it, following the forum and laughing at some posts, agreeing with others or not...

It is truly mind-blowing what one encounters reading through this place and how certain people choose to interpret the show. Even more baffling is the endless repetition—constantly digging up old plot points just to rehash the same arguments, trying to prove they were right all along by dragging Force through the mud for things they’ve already criticized a thousand times before.
Honestly, it is exhausting and frankly quite idiotic to read about the same people, saying the exact same things, over and over again. Some are spitting venom, others are playing defense. And even after some have been kicked out for bans, while others—some cartoonish characters (myself included)—have received warnings, the cycle just continues unabated.

Kudos to the women who get so deeply immersed in hating one specific character that it's the only thing they can talk about—not just once, but repeatedly hammering the same point over and over. But I also have to give credit to the ladies who consistently present their views with actual arguments, reading through all this nonsense time and again. I truly cannot believe some people possess such thick skin.

Regrettably, this Force theme has devolved into one giant joke, which is such a shame... especially since a good number of posts and a significant amount of women participated in it originally.

If anyone reads these posts and thinks I am building an altar to Force, then I truly have no idea who I am, and you all are slowly opening my eyes to that fact. 🤣

Dear Agatha, nothing I have written here was directed at you. I don't have an issue with any of the women in this thread; if I did, I wouldn't have even realized it.☕

The whole situation stems from the atmosphere prevailing over there, making it impossible for those of us trying to be realistic, enjoy the show, and actually comment... and this has been proven yet again because instead of just the Moderators stepping in, a whole legion of people either for or against Force has descended upon us once more.

Thanks to Uncle Steve and the Blood Bank for the replies. I am truly glad to receive a comment regarding my post without being immediately lumped in with those people who build altars, report posts, whine, and act insulted just because they are hopelessly in love with Force 😕
I stepped up and wrote everything I did because, in my honest opinion, the Force theme is a total circus—just a toxic atmosphere filled with nothing but biased nonsense.
From everything you all have told me, I gather that you fine people are perfectly fine with how things are (and yes, I even noted myself that spam posts are often wrapped in extra sentences to hide their true nature, making them harder to penalize if you aren't actively watching the show), and that there isn't an issue with the thread. That is exactly why I wrote earlier that I didn't believe I would achieve anything at all.
But here we are... being exactly who I am, I felt the need to comment on this topic in a place where it actually matters. I have never once lashed out at anyone (that is simply not my style), nor have I ever targeted a single Moderator or a girl from the Dove crowd.
If I haven't achieved anything else, at least I know I pointed out that something is rotten in the state of Denmark regarding this thread about a basic soap opera.

ambermason16 said:Jeremy Reyes5, I mean it—thank you. Anyone who actually knows anything about how this soap factory PDF works knows that he and I have had some serious clashes in the past. But unlike the person who started this whole circus, we actually know how to distinguish between the relationship between forum users and the mods, versus the personal bond between ambermason16 and Jeremy Reyes5.

You two have completely lost the plot. It’s not just that you’re shamelessly spamming posts where you basically just talk to yourselves—leaving everyone else totally confused—but you’re also back at it again with the constant lying and slander.

I am calling out every single person on this forum who ever reached out to me for advice or help and was left hanging. I want to know exactly who got shut down by one of my favorites. Who did I snap at without any reason? Who did I refuse to listen to when I actually messed up and needed to make things right? Or better yet, who have I just picked on for no damn reason at all? I’m asking you now: step up. Come forward publicly so we can lay everything out on the table and see exactly what kind of nonsense is going on.

I am honestly fed up. I’m sick of these grown women who can't tell the difference between real life and some trashy daytime soap opera, and then they think they have the right to talk down to me whenever they feel like it.

I am the one who started this circus. Sevgila and Matrix joined in later after reading, I suppose. I don't typically "girl talk" with the ladies on this forum unless it's about something specific, like a streaming link or something similar.
Please, tell me where I am lying or slandering?
And furthermore, where am I harassing you?

I honestly do not understand why you are taking this tone with me. It truly makes no sense to me.
I simply stated that you are clearly putting me in the camp of those who worship the very ground Force walks on, likely because I don't find him so terrible that I feel the need to attack him in every single post about him. Did I somehow harass or insult you by doing that? If I did, I offer my deepest apologies.
All of my posts are available for review, both here and in the main thread.

You seem to have a problem with me, and I have no idea why. It’s such a massive problem that you're begging me to leave the Force thread, accusing me of losing my compass and whatnot, yet I am meeting you here for the very first time and I had absolutely no ill intentions toward you.

Given that this whole discussion started because of Jack and certain past issues involving bans and insults, I think it would be best to lock this thread.

Until next time 👋

ambermason16 said:🤦

I’m calling on all of you to walk away from these threads immediately. Between the pathetic moderation and the even worse way they treat Force, there's no point staying. To make sure you aren't targeted by some moderator conspiracy—and considering everything you've already poured into these posts that only twenty people actually read before missing the entire point anyway—it’s best if you just head over to the soap factory instead. It’s going to be rough; the void you two leave behind will be massive, but I guess we'll manage somehow. Go ahead! Show us! Just walk out and leave us high and dry.

You have absolutely no idea how exhausted I am from having my name dragged through the mud over this absolute nonsense. We're talking about a phantom group that the moderators let run wild, invisible forum users mass-exiting threads, and endless reports about "harassment" toward fictional characters. It's ridiculous.

And just a final note: Force doesn't even exist; the guy is just a character in the soap factory; I'm done with this discussion... or whatever this mess is supposed to be. You two go right ahead and carry on with each other.

🤦
What are you talking about, ambermason16?
Why are you addressing me as if I were the one dragging your name through the mud, as if I called you out, as if I came here to defend a fictional character, as if I believe in conspiracies, or as if I am reporting posts?
Name just one single instance where I ever filed a report, name where I speak of conspiracies, where I announce an exit, or where I write in an insulting manner.
Did you even bother to read what I wrote?
Why are you pigeonholing me into certain camps and treating me like an idiot? First, you demand I clarify myself, and then you hit me with 🤦

It is almost as if you are demanding I explain nicknames that aren't even mentioned in the thread.

Yes! When you make such adamant assertions, back them up with facts. In other words, you have no answer, and this entire litany is merely the result of your indignation because everyone in the thread isn't building an altar to Force.

Even though I stated in my very first post

nor am I here in service to girls who have gone bananas or voluntarily abandoned the thread.

I was commenting on a thread that is one giant circus—a circus to which you moderators have contributed.
Why would I stop writing? Because I dared to comment on a thread within the complaint messages comments sub-forum?
I do not feel threatened by you, yet you continue to write about everything except the Force thread, which, in the judgment of several of us, is nothing more than a circus, a chat room, and a breeding ground for chauvinism.

And yes, it is wonderful that twenty people read this and that you are all in agreement. Collegiality is a lovely trait.

ambermason16 said:Exactly! If you’re going to make such an adamant claim, back it up with some actual facts. In plain English: you don't have an answer. This whole long-winded lecture is just a byproduct of you being offended because everyone else on this thread isn't busy building an altar to Force.

Don't you see the problem, or why my comment is here now?

Even you don't know why you made that comment, question, or criticism—whatever it is. How am I supposed to know?

Fine, no problem. Just delete this one too, or punish me for "harassment" (if I even dare?). Whatever.

Pure drama. It's the last refuge of a critic who has zero arguments left.

But like I said... commenting is allowed in this subforum, right?

Sure, you can always comment. But if you actually have a question and want an answer, it would make life easier for everyone if you could just state it coherently.

Right now, we're stuck with a comment where you don't even know why you wrote it, a thread that isn't being moderated, yet somehow you've still racked up several warnings. You're like a phantom refugee drifting from thread to subforum, criticizing other people's views which—disturbingly, as you put it—have nothing to do with real events. I honestly have no idea how to help you.

Well, I am actually quite glad you wrote this because, in the end, everything is becoming perfectly clear—the what, the how, and the where it all comes from.
I maintain that some girls have simply given up, while others are just "bananas" (though none of them are among those criticizing force)
A huge number of women who post on the soap factory forums watch force, yet they refuse to comment on the thread. Let me list a few quickly: S.N.O.B., Diddilly (definitely a banana very soon), ball, Gerald Bailey88, mrvica1234 (also a banana). I can't think of any more right now, but I am telling you: there are so many who don't even want to weigh in because of the atmosphere prevailing there. Most fans of Cans probably follow the series too, but somehow I just don't see them in the thread. Or perhaps I am just imagining things?

What drama? You are the only one creating drama here. I brought up a comment regarding the topic of force, but I haven't even commented on the main topic itself—and you still don't have a real response, yet you have plenty of comments claiming I am being dramatic. 🤷

This whole long-winded lecture is just a byproduct of you being offended because everyone else on this thread isn't busy building an altar to Force.

Don't you see the problem, or why my comment is here now?

Even you don't know why you made that comment, question, or criticism—whatever it is. How am I supposed to know?

Fine, no problem. Just delete this one too, or punish me for "harassment" (if I even dare?). Whatever.

Pure drama. It's the last refuge of a critic who has zero arguments left.

But like I said... commenting is allowed in this subforum, right?

Sure, you can always comment. But if you actually have a question and want an answer, it would make life easier for everyone if you could just state it coherently.

Right now, we're stuck with a comment where you don't even know why you wrote it, a thread that isn't being moderated, yet somehow you've still racked up several warnings. You're like a phantom refugee drifting from thread to subforum, criticizing other people's views which—disturbingly, as you put it—have nothing to do with real events. I honestly have no idea how to help you.

I would also love to see a comment on the actual topic; my first post is right there in the thread about force. All I have received from you is bewilderment as to why I even started it, along with labels: drama, no arguments, quitter. And all of this delivered with such a condescending tone. (Now I am just waiting for you to tell me how pathetic I am.)

I never once said this thread wasn't being moderated.
You are categorizing me prematurely; you are claiming that I am offended. But, I continue to post on this thread (it is quite difficult to offend me), and I absolutely do not belong to those who worship Force in word or deed.
You turned against me immediately, and without even addressing the topic at hand. In my very first post, I wrote something regarding the subject itself and everything surrounding it, and I expected to receive answers about that—not an analysis of why I started it or constant insistence on naming specific usernames. I came here on my own, I am alone in this thread, and I see no necessity to name anyone here.
The topic is unreadable to anyone who doesn't despise the character of Force. It is truly unfortunate that within this "lack of despise," you immediately saw someone infatuated with Force. Perhaps that is where the misunderstanding of my comment and everything else stems from?

ambermason16 said:Look, I genuinely, truly have no clue. I wasn't even being sarcastic. I’m reading this for the third time and I still don't get it.

Oh, and while we're at it, please list the usernames of the women who bailed on this thread. Let's actually hear from them for once. Based on all the complaints about the soap factory, there should be about twelve people missing. But my math isn't adding up. Ladies, women, mothers, or whoever else walked away from this discussion because—for reasons I can't even begin to fathom—you couldn't make sense of the mess above, please, speak up. Thank you.

As I stated before... I wasn't expecting to achieve anything, and I was proven right. Everything was already laid bare in the original thread, and this comment only confirms it. Should I list the names of those who posted there but have since vanished, or should I write to the moderators about the state of this entire topic?
Can you not see the issue? Or perhaps you don't see why my comment is even here? Fine. If there is no problem, then go ahead and delete this one too, or punish me for "disturbing the peace" (how dare I?). It makes no difference to me.

But... one is permitted to comment in this subforum, is one not?

The subforum says messages, complaints, and comments so I figured I might be allowed to comment on this thread and the mods over at the soap factory without being punished.
I have absolutely no intention of accusing any of the moderators, nor am I filing a specific grievance; I simply desire a few remarks from those who moderate the soap factory.

I have been typing on forums for quite some time, yet this is my first time engaging regarding a soap factory, and I am nearly stunned by the state of the Force thread.
I even received a warning for spamming and chatting and whatever else 🤷 though it truly does not matter. I have never complained about penalties; after all, I am aware of the rules and I accept them, so the punishments are merely a part of this entire situation.

The sheer amount of biased opinions and impressions on the Force thread is terrifying. There is content that has absolutely nothing to do with actual events or the character in the series, which gets "wrapped up" into a post just so it doesn't look like blatant spam or trolling, and those posts remain on the thread. Not to mention the constant chatting between a few forum members, the worshipful clapping on the same posts, and those one-sentence posts claiming how Force is stupid again.

The thread is simply unreadable to anyone who does not despise the character Force. For someone who happens upon it, the thread doesn't even look like a discussion about the series; it looks like a thread dedicated solely to the character Force, with occasional comments about others added just to glaze over the truth.

It is highly unusual that such things are permitted on an American forum like this one, an American forum where I always believed the rules were respected and that people strictly adhered to staying on topic and avoiding spam.
I have stated several times now that it is a shame, as I get the impression that the mods don't actually watch the show; if they did, the thread would not look the way it does.

I am not even sure what I hope to achieve with this thread. I have no intention of tarnishing anyone's reputation, nor do I believe anything significant will change, and I am certainly not here on behalf of the girls who were banned or left the thread of their own accord... I simply wanted to voice my commentary on everything because I find it unacceptable that all of this is allowed to happen.

Kind regards,

I am writing regarding a child, 10.5 months old. There has been a cough lasting two weeks now—sometimes dry, sometimes productive. We have been doing saline inhalations 2-3 times a day using 2-4 ml. We tried Prospan and Bisolex (not at the same time), but neither provided any relief. On Monday, the pediatrician stated that the lungs are clear and the throat and ears look fine. However, because of the long holiday weekend and the growing fear since the cough won't subside despite using Fenistil drops (prescribed by the doctor) and Prospan, we had to check again. The cough persists and the baby has a mild fever of 99.7°F. Otherwise, the child eats normally and sleeps normally. Aside from some fussiness, there are no other symptoms accompanying the cough.

Blood work results:

Leukocytes 5.6 (6.0-16.0)
Neutrophils 10.7 (23-66)
Lymphocytes 73.9 (18-60)
Monocytes 13.8 (5-13)
Neutrophils 0.60 (2.5-7.20)

I would be so grateful if someone could interpret these results.

Thanks in advance!
