First and foremost, calling me "bitchy" for telling the truth about the situation we're in ain't a nice touch, especially since we're talking forumer to forumer, not you and your best friend or you with anyone else in the society you grew up in. Tone down the language when you speak to any of us in that aspect, thank you very much. Second of all, you don't have a literal clue on what you're talking about and your commentary shows just how wrong you are, how much will you'd have to continue a show and let all the people present there in danger of the coronavirus, leaving aside the fact that The Netherlands is among the more affected countries. EBU cancelled it for good reasons, you're just failing to see the reality besides your delusional ideals or "what could happen ifs". This ain't fanfiction, this is real life. Grow up and accept the reality, the best you're getting from this whole thing is literally that something else they plan to air for the dates. Also... not doing my homework, you say? My country is currently affected with 500+ confirmed cases and so far 5 deaths, don't have me talking about the situation in Italy and Spain. I did enough homework to figure out that what you aspire for ain't gonna happen and the quarantine helps us a lot with the pandemic. (Also, to my fellow forumers, wash your hands and use disinfectant regularly, thank you ) Third and lastly, the fact that you've personally called people from different broadcasters just to fulfill your ideals in spite of a virus lurking around sincerely makes you the real bad guy - you don't care about the people, the fans or even yourself health-wise as long as the contest airs. You're basically insulting a whole fandom because they ain't doing your way, and when people tell you the whole truth with evidences upfront (literally Google is your best friend, use it), you're acting like a martyr, like we're the negative ones and not you. How would you feel if solely because of you and only you so many people would be affected by the pandemic? Nothing, I suppose, the contest matters more than anyone's health in your opinion, ain't it? Eurovision can continue without an edition too. Maybe you need to take a break from the Internet for a while and reflect at the situation we're in - we're not meant to judge you directly for trying something, but we're trying to help you realize the reality behind your fictional story you're heavily trying to make. This whole visual right there ain't cute. Oh, at all. Keep up the abuse if it gets you through the day. U clearly read what u want into what im writing as your cleadly gwtging the wrong idea of it. I for one am more intelligent than you in this aspect as i do proper research and not just listen to a company like Google. I contacted the companys and asked if thdy would like the contest to go abead and the majority said yes. Dont shoot the messenger. San madini have come out publicly and said that so go email them with your abuse. Theres no need to to bully people on here just cause they have a different view. If you want to reply keep iy civil wiyjput cslling me names or dont bother at all Ah, how cute, from a forum bully I turned up to be a forum abuser or a forum bully 2: electric boogaloo. I kept it civil unlike you, and people around here are my witnesses. (Also using Google, oh the horror! I cannot believe I've done such a horrible thing!) But sincerely speaking, if that's what you saw me from the get go and that's how you portray most of us which don't agree with your stance, at least support them with arguments and don't act like everyone's against you when the evidence is right there. With that, I'm done. Hopefully you liked those 5 minutes of attention, because that's all you've got from them, darling.

Ive already stated how to postpone the contest u should read my other posts And several people here already explained why your proposals aren’t doable Firstly evefy virus is different Secondly your not fighting your accepting the descion for somd forum yjing which if the ebu are doing one anyway why wojld you watch on here? Im not saying the virus isnt serious but the alternative hasnt been explored fully Thirdly cause the ebu can fine them Finally im done with the bullying nature of this forum. Please everyone dont nother msging me as no one understands or has even tried to. The lot of you should be ashamed of yourselves to support bullying on herr in a time we sbould be togeyher as the contest states Yeah of course every virus is different, that’s why we are taking more drastic measures for this one since it’s more dangerous plain and simple. And I and other people already said this now multiple times, it’s not like we don’t have any fighting spirit, it’s because even we are able to see that cancelling ESC is the correct and sensible decision. Saying the alternative hasn’t been explored fully is just plainly wrong, the EBU themselves stated that they did so and came to the conclusion that they, once again, are not feasible. And yes also some broadcasters can still be dissatisfied with this conclusion, but even there are just worlds between being dissatisfied and outright disagreement. And last but not least it seems like you are the one who doesn’t even try to understand or even listen to the points we made. Instead you just lash out against that and try to label every disagreeing opinion as bullying.

Wow.... just wow..... Saying people are bullying you because they don't agree with what you want I am so done. I can say the list of mental disorders here if I wanted but this is obviously NOT the thread for this. Another point is "this virus is different, it will be controlled by the summer" thing. Let ms tell you, this is what Joe Biden says, malarkey. The SARS pandemic took years to contain, H1N1 took about a year or so to contain, this virus spread to all of Europe in less than 6 months. Cases in many countries have skyrocketed as we speak, some people refusing to follow stay-at-home orders. You really don't understand why the contest was cancelled. The rapid spread of the virus + restrictions made by numerous participating countries. Hell, some participants didn't want to do their postcard amid fears of the virus so yeah. I just don't understand why you don't seem to have any empathy for the artists, delegations, EBU workers, fans, etc. Postponing it because you want it to go on so fans can see the "proper contest" despite the severity of the virus is one of the most selfish things someone has ever said in this server. By the way, how are you actually talking to the broadcasters? I'm sure they wouldn't give information to an unauthorized person, plus only San Marino has announced it. Kastrix, sorry if this offended you (which it most likely did :/ ) but this is the truth. It will be unpredictable, but if it doesn't get better by the end of summer then it'll get cancelled anyway. If you want to say I'm bullying you like everyone that is getting onto you about your "postpone, not cancel" thing, that's fine. Go ahead, I don't really care. Sincerely, Ashley M. *signs in turquoise ink*

This is a complicated situation, I personally prefer that they take every precaution they need cause every decision not only affect for example The Netherlands, but everywhere. It's so much better to wait and contain the virus as much as possible so we can continue with our lifes as normal. Cause of course I'm sad and a little mad about the cancelation But it had to be doned, it was for the best. Cause at the end of the day, we are talking about people's life, there are people dying and it's selfish to worry more about a contest, that even if we love it, neither of us is gonna die because it gets cancel for one year

Meanwhile i am just sitting here like And each of these combined Like can't we just focus on the more important matters which is getting rid of the virus in the first hand and then worry about everything else? I mean it is ofc sad that ESC is cancelled, but even as a die hard fan i think it was a pretty reasonable decision given the situation and all. The health of everyone should be the most important thing right now. Don't let your personal feelings affect the way you see the situation. No one can say for sure when all this is gonna end, they are all just pure estimates on what might happen. It could take until summer, it could take this whole damn year, it could take multiple years or it might never go away. The thing is, no one knows for sure so we cannot say exactly the time this will all be dealt with if at all completely. And that is exactly why EBU decided to go for the cancellation instead of postponing because it was the wisest and the safest decision considering all possible outcomes. Yeah of course i would have loved to see ESC be held using any of the alternate possibilities they were also thinking, but it would not have felt the same at all to me As EBU said ESC will be back for 2021 stronger than ever and i am really excited to see what that means and what kind of a show we will be given then. I have a feeling they will have something special in store because of what happened with 2020 All i am saying lets just stand together against the main cause of all this mess, which is the virus After that is all dealt with, i am more than happy to see the return of ESC, but before that, i do not want to risk any unnecessary peoples lives just because i love ESC and would want to see it being held. It just would not feel right for me in any way. It is not like it is the end of the world if we miss one year while focusing on containing this situation as fast as possible, so we can get back to our normal lives faster. Like i am willing to accept the cancellation of one of the most important things in my life, just so people can stay healthy and actually possibly be spared from the virus or atleast minimize the risk of them getting infected. Just like i think any fan should do in this situation is think of the bigger picture, etc. And also we should be thankful that the show is actually gonna happen in some form atleast by this amazing fan community so it is not like we actually fully lost the whole thing anyways and it is better than nothing Personally i have never really trusted petitions which is why i do not sign them no matter what the topic I mean i know it has had some impact on some things in the past, but most of the time it just feels it is not doing anything. And in this case regarding ESC, highly doubt it is gonna change anything since it is EBU and the situation is how it is as said. And no i am not taking any side here just saying what i think and what i am gonna do, regardless on whether that makes me a non-fan in some peoples eyes And i have been following ESC for 15 years straight About the bullying thing, no one is bullying anyone on here from my experience, so i think that might be a little far fetched. I have a history of being bullied in school for 6 whole years so i know what i am talking about here too. I would have left a long time ago if i felt like that is the case Lets all just respect the decision EBU made, because health and containing this situation is far more important than a musical live show. And it must have been just as difficult of a decision for them to make just as it is to us fans if not even more So lets not make it any more difficult for them than it already must have been

I think there is one and imo very good arguement against this petition and that is that multiple countries wanted the summer olympics, that are in summer (Shocker) , to postpone it because they fear there will be no way to hold it safely. Let it sink in.
