Princeguy: Have you followed the progression of this entire dialog (I can't tell because NOW you wanna jump in from the peanut gallery after damn near a month of this)? If you REALLY paid attention you would see that few are hating just to hate. Quite a few of us would sinmply like to see BET increase the quality of their programs. You say, if you don't like it, then don't watch and I say it would be a disservice to the network(s) to simply bail on them. I see tis more as an attempt to put forth suggestion as to how to make it better. In doing so (as Koala agrees), we need to determine what it is we don't like and then figure out a way to get the point across. I've come to your defense in other posts when folk were trying to jump on you for YOUR beliefs, and now it's time for you to step back and observe that several of the viewpoints made THROUGHOUT this discussion have validity. What if someone had said to you while you were descibing your beliefs regarding homosexuality had said, "If you don't like it, ignore it"? Don't you as a good steward have a responsibility to speak truth regardless of whether it'll make you popular or not (and at risk of being called a "hater")? Please explain how we would like BET to tighten up their quality, business practices, or diversify their progrmming makesus a hater, but when you were sharing YOUR beliefs it was simply speaking truth. You're frankly being a biot hypocritical. I agree that there are plenty who just wanna knock BET for the sake of knocking it, but here we have folk that are actually trying to implement some change WITH suggestions.

K: I find it interesting that you would be so quick to imply "Ah someone else who is reasonable" simply based on them agreeing with you. Did you ask THIS guy where the answers to your questions? How is it that the those on the opposite side of your argument need to justify themselves and not those who agree (or seem to) with the stance you defend. Similarly, I'd like to see YOUR answers to your own survey just in the interest of fairness.

All that aside, I (and I'd venture to say teh rest of those you have labeled "BET haters") appreciate your commentary. Originally (in another post), it was stated that for those who disagree this simply isn't your fight. If you enjoy BET as it is, the cool. IF YOU DON'T enjoy it as it then why not do something besides complain? K started THIS topic to get folk to quantify their viewing habits in an effort to determine the actual patterns of thse who were "complaining". This was done. NOw you wish to go BACKWARD to discussing the validity of the complaints. Frankly, this was done already both here and in General Discussion. If you didn't get your opinion sid then, I'm sorry. Perhaps it would be better to go read those threads because very little new information is coming from THIS version of that debate.
