I was completely blindsided. I read the comments on that post, and I'm so sorry for the hate that seems to come from those who disagree with your decision to fast forward. Funny how many people think tolerance is a one way street - you should tolerate them and their behaviors, but they in turn spew hate at you for not condoning their decisions.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm writing because I'm squeamish about watching any more of the series. I was really put off by the brazen gay kissing scene and I don't want to keep watching if the series is going to try to push me in that direction. All I could think of after seeing that (and quickly pausing and panicking) was the poem by Alexander Pope, "“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As to be hated needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.” I don't want to get so comfortable with those behaviors and beliefs that I begin to embrace them.<br /><br />I've been searching online and yours is the very first commentary on Downton Abbey that even hints at dislike towards the hidden gay agenda, and I'm wondering if you've seen the rest of the series. Does this stuff come up again? Is it recurring? How often do I have to deal with it? Because I'm not going to watch any more if it keep rearing it's face. Please let me know by commenting back on this.
