I find being referred to as a cloud of doom more than a little insulting Livia, and since you weren't a specific target in any of the trolling on here lately which btw is definitely NOT a nice thing to have happen to you at all, then you will have no idea just how vicious and nasty some members of this forum can be and I'm not just talking about banned members either.
So yeah I never used to bother about the Razzies but lately the downright awful and horrible things I have witnessed being said about others proves to me that the 'light hearted' comments are not true at all, yes a few might make light hearted jokey type comments but for some they use this as a platform to air their nasty vile opinions about people that they have never even met before and only know online in a forum environment.
I definitely think the last thing the forum needs right now is the Razzies and yes I am predicting that it would be a 'bloodbath' for the forum because some members like I mentioned above use this for complete nastiness, some can never let things go and hold grudges that allows arguing to spill into threads and so on.

No, it's true that I wasn't a target Josy, but one of my closest friends was and I do understand how horrible it is to be targeted in that way. And I am well aware how vicious and nasty people on here can be sometimes. However, the incident to which you refer didn't happen on the forum, and if the Razzies ever were to go ahead I've no doubt there would be infractions and bans handed out if people went over the top. But I never got the feeling that the Razzies were going to be that kind of deal. I understood that it was going to be a bit of fun. I never got the feeling that people were lining up to insult someone because we all understand the rules and I also understood there would either be an opt in or an opt out option.
I apologise if you were insulted by my comment, but I uphold that the vast majority of people who might have taken part in the Razzies had they ever gone ahead would have been mature enough to give it and take it in a good-natured way.
