I'm in!

@David_D it is very clear that we see things differently - which is OK. I disagree that, because I have had a factual experience that sucked, this makes it an opinion now rather than a fact. Like the beach analogy, other people may have had their own experience with the beach & feel it is a good beach. Good for them. They are free to share their experience with others. Again, that does not negate my experience or opinion. Rather than having the beach lovers label and/or judge my experience, let them post their own and trust that the objective reader of ALL the posts will judge for themselves if they want to go to the beach or not. I say DCBS sucks. You say it doesn't. Let the person who started this discussion thread decide for themselves without undermining one another's experiences.

Yes, we do see it differently. I see these at discussions. And I don't see the reactions as attempts to undermine, or hiding. Rather, they are simply more speech added to the discussion.

If you quote someone else's post and respond to it without even reading it, as you did with @Trev earlier, then we see the whole intent of this discussion board very differently.

This is not just a place to be heard. It is also a place to listen, to respond, and to discuss. If the reaction buttons are that troublesome to you, ignore them. It seems you have no problem engaging in a thread with the intent to hear about the opinions or experiences of others, so why let an "agree" or "disagree" get to you? It seems like wasted energy. Especially if you see it as a monologue rather than a dialogue.

@CourtofOwls yes. You stated your experience, and came to a conclusion based on those experiences. My experience has been far more positive, and therefore my conclusion differs from yours. The OP is asking what to expect, I "disagree" (hence the button) that one should expect to have your experience. It is simple as that. Like all reviewing, if someone says "this movie sucks!" And I disagree, I am not invalidating their experience, I am simply speaking from mine.

I have a question- would you have yelled at someone that clicked "agree"? It seems you feel that your post should not be seen as an opinion of your experience, but rather as a sort of testimony. So I take it no one can agree with you, because even if they, too, felt DCBS "sucks", they would be minimizing or diminishing your "sucks" by agreeing with it based on their "sucks". Right?

I don't know- I feel like, optics-wise, DC could have taken the high road by giving a simple "no further comment" on any uncomfortable or legally fraught matters, and then continued on to the next question.

To instead terminate not only the interview midstream, but the series of interviews, at that uncomfortable moment is, to me, bad PR. It is like saying you are afraid of the questions.

To be fair, not a big deal in the scheme of things. To me the work itself is more important than people speaking about the work. But in the context of speaking about the work this seems poorly handled.
