IDK about this but this is why people shouldn't get bent out of shape that people get unfollowed or blocked. Sometimes its just a matter of streamlining things. I know personally I have done it because either a person is a general asshole, throws a bunch of slurs or is just plain klooging up my TL with stuff I'm not interested in.

On twitter, it doesn't matter if you're following the person or not. You can still tweet directly to them (unless they set up privacy settings) and they will see it on both their notifications and dash.

The numbers are just an example.

I thought the point was that in order for things to be seen in your feed that your family and friends see, what was written had to be written by someone you had chosen to follow. You will see what that person has written in your mentions feed but if you don't respond or retweet none of your friends or family or other followers will see it.

I may have misunderstood.

The woman always gets called the whore. No matter the circumstances. It's a disgusting double standard, but Abby isn't the first and sadly won't be the last to be labeled that on this show or any other.
and the sad thing is it's almost always women calling other women this.

It is always this way though. I hated Carly/Bo, but I blamed him not her. She got torn to shreds though online.
But Carly/Bo/Hope was a completely different situation than Abby/EJ/Sami. EJ & Abby ultimately got sucked into their feelings for each other & went to town (or the island, as the case may be. lol). In contrast, Carly knew full well what the situation was between Bo & Hope and that her being there was causing an even bigger rift between Bo & Hope. Carly was definitely more to blame than Abby is. EJ's the one that followed Abby to the Horton Cabin and the storage closet. He's the one that told Abby to stay & shut the door. Abby isn't playing a damsel in distress with a secret "she can only tell him in order to protect the one the secret is about", and she didn't know what the state of Sami & EJ's relationship was. It was Carly's need for Bo's undivided attention that is the reason she got so much heat at the beginning. Carly was an active force driving Bo & Hope further apart. Abby is simply an attraction that EJ's having trouble fighting.

People are fooling themselves if they think that tearing apart someone's looks on a message board vs. directly on Twitter doesn't cause hurt feelings. One's only marginally better than the other.
The difference is that they are most likely not going to even see it on a message board. What you don't know can't hurt you.

If you tweet it directly to their name, there is a pretty good chance that they are going to read it. Plus, the person saying it is obviously trying to hurt the person.

meh, i don't really think it's that different, except I cared more about Bope so I was disappointed in him.

Yes, and it's still not nice to say not nice things about the real-person actor vs the fictional charcter....but in the case of a forum like DR, the actor would have to go searching for the comments, right? Or someone would have to have found the comment, told the actor, and then the actor still needs to make the choice to hunt it down him or herself. That is different, imo, than a tweet that is tagged with the actor's account name, which then the actor gets alerted to (depending on twitter communication settings, I guess). I guess the actor still has to choose whether or not to read the tweet. But more than anything the spirit of pointedly tweeting hate AT someone is different to me than sharing the comments on a general discussion board with other members you are engaging in conversation or participating in the community being fostered. The former implies a desire for the actor to see the comment, which implies a very special kind of "hate" venting. It may be a slight distinction but an important one, I think.

But it's true that being mindful and respectful of real ppl feelings is probably appreciated in ALL situations and contexts.

I'm also wondering why Abby is getting the brunt of the hate for EJ/Abby affair. Abbiwhore? Really? EJ has also been a pretty willing participant with Abby. But he's just "badly written" or "misunderstood" or "the REAL EJ would never" or whatever. I hate the double standard.
Um, what double standards? EJ is no innocent lily in this shlop, but neither is she.

EJ is not single (or he wasn't when this whole sleazy crap began) and they don't even have the guts to be upfront about their filthy smut, thus it DOES make her a WHORE. Enjoy the cheap ass thrills while you can Abbitch. Given EJ's track record, if he's cheating WITH you, it's a guarantee that he'll do it TO you. Just ask Sami and Nicole. LOL And boy, am I gonna LMAO when the Horton "angel/princess/whatthefuckever" gets knocked off her self-righteous high horse.

You're proving the double standards right there, by only calling Abby a name, not EJ.

And last time I checked, the definition of a whore isn't someone who's involved with a taken man. That's all I'll say on the matter.

I never said she was the first one to do it. I also never said it wasn't 'okay'.

I said it wasn't smart. There's a difference.
In that moment for her, it was a smart thing to do. Do I think she could ignore it? sure but the choice as to whether to ignore or react doesn't make her decision to react less smart. Its not like she is going to lose her job because she tweeted that, and besides that people can see what the other person tweeted.

This is one of the LW tweets I was referring to. Its not the actual tweet but its references her similar reaction.

Laura Wright þ@lldubs · 25 Sep 2012
Haaa whatever RT @silencesuffers: @lldubs real mature telling a fan to fuck off. 's why no one likes you or your character.

https://twitter.com/CrystalLou2u/status/250593480680808448
She probably shouldn't have done the fuck off but I thought "Aren't you sweet" was awesome.

As far as I am concerned though, I am sure the show "orders" or "expects" the actors to engage in a certain amount of tweets every so often. (Unless maybe they are older, LOL, can't see Peggy McKay doing that). I sort of this for the actors because fans feel an entitlement with their subjects and I think the Internet has only heightened. Hate mail has been around for years but it still kept an arm's length from the actors: it going to the studio, technically they don't have to open it, etc. Angry tweets personally directed at the actors not only is in their face but is also in the face of the rest of the public. Its really going over and beyond the call of duty IMO and when the actors tend to lose it, so to speak, I don't blame them.

I don't think the show expects actors to tweet. James Scott, Freddie Smith, Chandler Massey among others hardly tweet. I think some actors like twitter as a medium to connect with their fans. Guy Wilson for example, is active and he was active before he was even cast.

Speaking of vicious fans, poor GW still deals with a lot of craziness.

IMO, the difference in doing it here and doing it on twitter is in the intent behind it. DR gets flack for allowing actor bashing but I've never seen a single person complain about it who wasn't equally as guilty of doing it elsewhere. Honestly, I'd rather people do it here than directly to the actors on twitter and I'd rather people doing it directly to them on twitter than to their faces.

I also think that the actor bashing that goes on here isn't half as bad as the actor bashing that goes on on twitter (& I'm not just referring to that which is sent directly to the actors).

Yeah because here it could just be said in passing and not meant to be much of anything. I'm not saying its always (or ever) warranted, but I'm not going to judge it. If you're going to go to the trouble of bashing someone on Twitter while tagging the actor then you're probably going to say much worse things than get said on here. And there is no question what the intent is.

@Mrs_EJDiMera Well the actress is a kind, lovely person. But she is obviously playing the character so well to cause such a reaction! Xo

Me either. I think the "Oh, you hate the show? That's what we were going for! Good on us!" counters to negative opinions just spur people on more. (Though it goes without saying, it's beyond rude to tag actors in hate tweets.)
I don't condone that kind of language but in that person's next tweet she made it clear she was not talking about KM, she was talking about Abby & the storyline. And it's not like KM can't handle it cuz she tweeted that FU instagram after some comments yesterday. Unfortunately with shows encouraging their actors and fan bases to interact so much on social media, you're going to get this kind of thing. And it is unfair to the actors because the actors are out there while the individual tweeps are relatively anonymous.
Did Kate specifically say FU to someone because I saw the post on twitter where someone was actually attacking her acting ability and she responded "awe how sweet". Is that the post some are considering an FU or is there an actual FU directly from Kate out there that I did not see?
I'm pretty sure it's the instagram pic that was causing the "uproar". I saw Corday's number getting tweeted to call & complain about KM's "unprofessional behavior." :eyeroll:

And THAT annoys me to no end. And THAT is a double standard that bugs me more than the words "slut" and "Whore", and those bother me enough, as much as those who are too wrapped up in their characters. It all goes with the territory, I guess. And, if I recall, Mansi was warned ahead of time that this stuff might happen. Sad that she had to get that warning.
Personally, I think a lot of those ecard memes are hilarious. But I think the very disturbed fans are like an oil fire....you try to douse them out, it'll blow up in your face. The anonymity of the Internet makes this all the more easy. It was nice of CS to stand up for KM, though.
The thing is....what do those actors whose fans are doing this kind of stuff think? The negativity, the name-calling, the poor language...like it or not, fans and their ilk are judged by the personalities of a few. If I was Sweeney or Scott (for example), I'd be embarrassed by the kind of people my character was attracting. I guess they're used to it, but I have trouble wrapping my brain around it.
Oh, well.
