I totally agree with you Hobbsy on the rudeness. I don't understand why a person would post how awful a certain brand is. There are many brands out there and everybody has their favorites and not so favorites; but to go to specifically to that brand's forum and bash it.... Why? Expressing an opinion would be "not my style as I'm a fan of the sig line" not what was posted as "god awful" "yuk" etc....It causes me no distress or duress. I find it very rude and uncalled for a person to come onto the Coach forum and bash Coach....so ugly...I hate it.....etc! I dislike LV with a passion, but I don't go onto their forum at all, let alone to bash their bags! Maybe you could learn to do the same?!
I like reading posts on these forums to see how some styles bring smiles or good feelings to a person's life (visiting the Ban Island thread shows how some of us are emotionally attached to our purchases) Maybe some of those purses are not my style but it's great that it makes somebody's day and it's nice to share that happiness! My Mickey Coach purses make me smile and to have somebody come bash you for it with their opinion " I mean if I want a bag with Mickey Mouse on it, I'll just get a bag with MM ON it and not spend $100s" well, that to me was not nice. I respect an opinion, but it doesn't have to be rude.
