But, you'd have to admit that many of the people mocking tonight are the first to scold other posters for being negative, mocking, etc. It is what it is.
Any mocking that took place on that thread (and I was surprised at how little there was compared to other years)... isn't there a difference between doing so while waching something as a collective group and personal attacks on this particular board?

I know you know I'm not starting anything with you and I get your point but to me there's a difference.

Besides most of the digs are funny and not mean.

It's all subjective. What you find funny might be viewed as mean by others and vice versa.

I don't know what a personal attack on a message board really is, but some might view mocking how someone looks as a personal attack. Regardless of who the person is. Mocking is mocking.
