Okay if you do not wish to read more complaints stop now.





Well Sue I am offended by your posts since in mine I flamed a
character and an actress, you flamed we folks who felt a certain
way about the scene. 

Secondly, if J&J did the scene I would be
VERY upset since I would have found it tackey, in fact more so
what with Jack's background. I would take offense that Matt
and Missy dared to do a scene like that. That Jack would *uck his
wife while she was drunk, in a public place, considering he once 
raped his lst wife. I would lose respect for the acters to even
suggest this, esp. after all that was done to re-form Jack, and
to bring out Jack realization that what he did was wrong, that
anger does not consistute violence, even if he was being wronged
he had no right to force himself on someone. The Jack character
finally has come to realize this, and if Jack had done what Bo
did on the table I would be offended that all this evolution and
growth would have been distroyed.

I am pissed off that the pool table scene which I view as crap
was used for airtime when so many other characters/acters were
treated like shit. That TPTB used the Bull Shit excuse that 
there is no time for the older characters for non-white characters,
but instead use airtime for a scene like this. That Richard Biggs
had NO storyline even though he is an attractive man, a much more
talented actor than Crystal or RKK, that he has more seniority on
the show and should have a more primary role on the show, yet instead
airtime which could have been used on him, Susan Hays, favorites
like Mary Beth, etc. was used for a crapy scene which served no
storyline purpose. It did not portray Bo & Carly's mutual love for
one another so I felt is was unnecessary. If it were meant to
show two characters who just lusted after one another I would not
have taken offense. But it was just another vehicle, a stupid,
offensive one at that, to shove these two no talents yet again in
our faces. Time which could have better been spent developing Marcus'
character, setting up a storyline for him--or god forbid a romance
since on DOCL black people don't have love lives.

There...I bitch. But we still have Crystal, we have lost Richard.
Richard was rarely on, yet Crystal go her pick of the scenes. Susan
Hayes lost out her romance storyline with John Ainston to further
Carly's storyline and now Susan is rarely on except for ocassional
token scenes with Matt and Missy--two other acters who are being
treated unfairly. Susan still is unsure of her status, is treated
as dispensible by TPTB while Ms. Chappell seems to obtain all that
she wishes--in the past 3 weeks she has been on all but maybe 2 days.

That is what pisses me off, that is what offends me, that is what
I view as injustice. And for these reasons I am really offended
by the pool table scene. 

Sally--I am no fuckin' prude. I take offense that I am being labeled
as one with out fully knowing, but labelling my because of what I
have posted
