Dear Twilighters,

Greetings to all of bạn from the link club! I'm Dearheart, and I'm one of the people who first founded the CAT.

Before I say anything else, let me clarify some things for you: No, I don't like Twilight and probably never will. That's just me. But I respect the people who DO like it, and I won't bite any of your heads off just because bạn happen to have different tastes than me. If you're crazy about Twilight, that's awesome! I won't ever criticize bạn for that hoặc try to force bạn to "convert" to the anti side.

I'm nghề viết văn this to bạn now because I want to let bạn all know, once and for all, that the CAT means bạn no harm.

We will not troll bạn hoặc harass you. We will not come to your Twilight spots to bash what bạn love, make fun of bạn hoặc intentionally stir up trouble. And though it might look like all we do is insult and criticize Twilight at first, we are not an anti hoặc hate club.

To quote link "We are here because some people just want a place to get away from all the Twilight worship and find some good, thoughtful discussion about it. This is a sanctuary for us to hang out, poke intelligent fun at it, share our các lượt xem and criticisms on the series and get some healthy thảo luận going. Some of us may like Twilight, some of us may not. But we all respect that people can like hoặc dislike whatever they want, and we respect the right to voice those opinions, even if we don’t always agree with them."

Now I'm well aware that most of our content is anti-Twilight...but that isn't because we're a hate club. It's because there aren't as many pro-Twilighters who actively contribute hoặc speak up for their side. Because there are so few Twilight những người hâm mộ there, and fewer still who are 100% in tình yêu with Twilight, the thêm negative and anti opinions tend to overshadow the others. That's just how it is. The only way we can change that and even things out is if thêm Twilighters are willing to tham gia in the thảo luận and speak up about why they tình yêu Twilight.

I'm also aware that sometimes our members look down on Twilight những người hâm mộ and make bashing các bình luận about them. And that's not cool. But I can assure bạn that this is the exception, NOT the norm, and that link We want the CAT to be an intelligent, peaceful place...and above all, we want it to be fun! The last thing we'd ever want to do is encourage nastiness hoặc thoughtless behavior on either side.

Finally, I'd like to remind bạn all that a lot of stereotyping goes on in BOTH sides - pro and anti - and that not all people fit into them. Just because someone loves Twilight doesn't automatically mean they're brainless, annoying hoặc spiteful to people who don't like it. And likewise, just because someone hates Twilight doesn't automatically mean that they don't know what "True Love" is, that they're jealous hoặc stupid, hoặc that they're mean to Twilighters.

That's another reason why I made the CAT. I wanted to break those stereotypes and find a way to bring pros and antis together so they could share their các lượt xem and understand each other better.

I hope this clears up any confusion hoặc misgivings bạn might have about us. Please know that we hold nothing against you, and that we understand if bạn don't like our club hoặc agree with it. The important thing is that we respect each other. Right? =)

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Sincerely,
Dearheart (aka the "Momcat")
