I don't find it offensive. I've seen countless Creddie fans say "Freddie never loved Sam. He only loves her as a friend." I disagree with the statement whole heartedly, but it's not offensive. Nor is the one you mentioned in regards to seddie. If that's what someone thinks, they can think that. I disagree, but it doesn't "offend" me that someone sees things differently. An offensive statement would be "Seddie or Creddie sucks. It's stupid. It's sunk. Get over it." An opinion of "Freddie never loved Carly that way, but only thought he did," or "Freddie never loved Sam. He just used her to get over Carly," isn't offensive. It's just what someone believes and I don't think that needs to be censored or disclaimed.

I don't see how the close up is indicative of anything. I'm sorry, but all I see is Carly smiling in a very typical Carly manner. What is she supposed to do? Look bored? Frown? We've seen lovestruck Carly. That face wasn't it. It was a smile. That's all I see. Like I said, I'll give credit to Creddie moments when I see them, but I don't see anything here at all.

And in regard to the whole facts/opinion debate, all my original point was getting at was that it's just what happens in fandom. People typically don't preface all their comments with "this is just my opinion" and sometimes people even claim things as fact that may be debatable to someone else. That's just how fandom works and it's not likely to change. You just have to look past that run around of a debate and look at the point someone's actually trying to make. The whole delineation and argument over "fact" vs. "opinion" is, as I said, rather futile because fact means different things to different people. Ignore the technical labels and focus on the content. That's what matters.

(And this is no brawl. Just a good natured discussion. :) )
