I feel no different than the 3 of you. what I meant to say if he likes elmo fine. I'm just saying the way he's expressing himself is a bit histile especially since no one has talked about elmo so far.

Yeah and plus, what do you mean there wouldn't be Sesame Street without Elmo, I mean he hasn't joined the cast in his Elmo voice until 1985, I think it wouldn't be SS without characters like Big Bird, or Cookie, or Oscar, or Ernie and Bert, and why, because they actually teach us.

Now, come on. Elmo has a purpose as well (and no, its not to annoy us. Hehe). He hits a specific age group that none of us are a part of. He is catering to a different generation. Okay, so he can be a bit obnoxious...

Yes you are right, he is there for the real little ones, you know, he's like a best friend I should say. Elmo is like the best friend of the show I should say, and entertaining to young ones, so that just may be his purpose, which I should say is pretty unique for a kid's show wouldn't you say. (actually, maybe not, so Sesame must be special with teachers like Kermit and Grover, and playmates like Elmo and Big Bird.)

Sesame Street is like a school, you have friends to play with like Big Bird, and than have classes with Kermit, Grover, Cookie, Count, Ernie & Bert etc.

Not trying to start a fight you know, just kind of stating the fact of what Sesame Street's purpose is, well Elmo I'd say is one of the best friends, a break from the show's teachings and someone to laugh and play with, though it might not have been like it was with Big Bird, it probably gives kid's more attention with the voice and such.

Elmo is there to represent the 3 year old who is always trying to keep up with the big kids. Kids relate to that side of him.

I like Elmo, he's okay; I've got no problems with him, I say he can stay. And welcome Furryredmonster!
