What repercussions? It's not as if somebody's going to track you down and sock you in the face. Look, if you have an opinion that might be construed as negative, you just gotta accept that some people won't like it and be willing to defend it. That's it. Nobody is stopping you from posting your "negative" opinion, but YOU.

As for all the Lorelai talk, that would happen no matter what response you got or what was happening on the show, because I have read time and time again on this board and elsewhere that people skip Rory scenes or don't care to spec about her because they find her boring and don't like her boyfriend.

But, when something negative is said about L&L -- especially Luke -- watch out!!! More than a few of you pop up and go ballistic. Does that make me any less likely to voice *my* "negative" opinion? No way! It's my opinion, and I voice it knowing I'll have to defend it vigorously, knowing I'll get this response. I don't necessarily like it -- I don't like confrontation believe it or not -- but what should I do? Pretend to have an opinion I don't? Anyway, that's what the MT has become *because* it is the place where everyone, with very varied opinions, posts.
