I don't find the jokes or characters to be mean spirited while Baloo and Feauxzen do.

I've come to love the characters on the BBT and if you turned the chanel after being offended at the first nerd joke because it was mean, then you never got to love the people.


See above, Project got it right. It was nothing to do with mean spirited characters, but a mean spirited audience. You aren't laughing with them, you're not supposed to.

So,


why does this board pile on BBT while having a season long thread for HIMYM?

I have to admit that I never looked into the season long thread. Does it have regular posters?

Meh. On that same token, are you not laughing at Joey on Friends, because he is an idiot? What about HIMYM? The only two characters I laugh with are Barney and Marshall. To a smaller extent, I sometimes laugh with the girls, but I am certainly not laughing with Ted. I'm laughing at him, because I find him to be a douche. I think you are laughing at people on most shows to a certain extent. I take BBT for what it is. A show to entertain me. I realize it's not breaking new ground, and I don't take it too seriously. As I said earlier, I'm a nerd, but it really doesn't bother me that you are laughing at and not with the characters.
