Many a times posting our opinion openly on a subject is construed as bashing by others. I would like to take an example of Sanjay Dutt's verdict thread which was made a GA. Members there had different opinion. The fans of the actor were supporting him blindly whereas others were posting unbiased opinion but still it was construed as bashing by his fans. I wonder why even a sardonic humour about one's favourite actor or show or subject is construed as bashing by the fans.
Where do we draw the line? Is it possible to keep everyone happy? The answer is NO.
Shouldn't fans respect other's opinion and not brand it as insulting and demeaning as long as we post our POV being within the limits of this forum's decorum.
In my opinion it is not always possible to make everyone happy so as long as one doesn't resort to personal attacks criticism is fine. A criticism becomes bashing when one attacks another personally for posting a different POV.
But how can you dissect Black without pointing out it's poor direction, poor storyline or poor acting by the lead characters? A movie can go wrong only if the direction or actors or storyline was poor.
If you point out flaws in one actor or the direction then that is constructive criticism for you but it is contsrued as bashing by the fans.

My thoughts exactly. 👏 Sometimes when we analyse a person's POV or performance or whatever it is not meant to be taken personally. Criticsm is when we point out what we think is wrong, why it's wrong and how that can be rectified or in other words when we have a definite positive goal in our mind. Bashing is when we simply degrade something/ someone just because we don't like it, without giving any definite reason and definitely without any positive goal.
