First of all, I want to say that I am (and always will be ) a huge fan
of TAGS. My wife I watch the show almost daily and we have gone to the
Mayberry Days in Mt Airy and in Westmeinster. I have also enjoyed
reading all the posts on this site, but have noticed a gradual change in
it lately. After I asked the question about fans least favorite show,
there was an outcry about negativity. The host even posted the rules
stating to keep it positive. I had meant no negativity and apologized
if I had offended anyone. Then the issue of what constitutes an "alumni
sighting". I threw in my two cents worth only to have it pretty well
pointed out that anyone who had appeared on TAGS was an alumni of the show.
Recently, I was enjoying fans telling of their other favorite shows
other than TAGS , but at least one fan took exception stating this site
was for discussion of TAGS and not other shows. Hmmm - did I note a
touch of negativity there?!
So am I to take from this that there are only to be strictly TAGS
related positive, happy posts on this site? That's ok, but remember
there were negatives on TAGS just as there is in life. Sure TAGS always
ended with a positive message, but didn't there have to be some type of
negative or screw up to get to that positive message?! How about when
Opie killed the bird, or all of Barney's misadventures or maybe Andy and
Helen arguing? Everyone makes mistakes but as TAGS showed, it's what we
learn and how we grow from them.
So if you want a site that has no tolerance for any negativity ( no
matter how slight or unintentional ) and are content to report what
"alumni" you saw on what show, then great! I'm just not sure that is all
in the true spirit of TAGS.
