| TO AGREE OR NOT AGREE????
|
|
|
Tuesday I read a post that had been 'flagged' inappropriate. I didn't think much of it since the writer of said post is controversial in his opinions. The post had maybe a swear word in it, nothing like some posts for sure. The subject matter was obviously the 'flagged' issue. But then again, i've read about things on here that were definitely more 'flaggable' that this one. I digress.......
In my comment i supose i focused more on the fact that the post shouldn't have been 'flagged' rather than disagreeing with the subject matter. I was 'informed' about it. I think simply bc I didn't say "I THINK UR FULL OF SHIT AND I DISAGREE WITH YOU" that it was assumed i was ok with the subject. Now, anyone that knows me knows i would never, but never agree with this particular topic. At first I was sort of surprised by the remark, but then thought "OMG....supose others think that way too!". Maybe others will assume bc I didn't come out and say...."This is wrong!".....will think I was OK with it. I was soooo not OK with it, and maybe should have said so but i didn't.
Do we have to leave comments that 'please' others or can we say what ever the hell we want? Am i to go over all my comments and see if they meet the 'requirements' of others? That was basically what i was saying to begin with....that the writer could 'express' his opinion without a shitstorm of crap. There are a great many posts here that i don't agree with, and i don't always leave comments on them, but sometimes i do. I guess i m one of those ppl that believes you can write about your kids, your life, and your views no matter what they may be. I won't always agree with them. Sometimes i'll say so and sometimes i won't.
I worry at times about posting things. Will it bother someone or will it be taken the wrong way? Now all of a sudden i have to also worry about my comments too? This bothered me so much that i deleted the comment and i'm up at 330 in the morning writing this stupid post. I couldn't sleep thinking others may agree with this person. Now though, i'm thinking 'WTF?'. I don't care. I do not care if others like what i write in a comment to someone else. If i have to i'll begin to send all my comments by email or private message. No one will see shit! The more I write here the more pissed off i seem to become.
In response to the person that expressed they're opinion to me concerning my comment.....'No, it is not socially acceptable to do this at any time'.

I can only answer for myself but I have to say that I tend to leave comments only where they are going to helpful (hopefully) or encouraging. I did at one stage leave a long comment about what I truly thought about someone's actions (they were being unfaithful and talking about it) and I found the response totally discouraged me. It's a hard one, cause at times I long to say something but then change my mind in case it causes serious offence. But that's just me. I guess if people take the time to blog on a subject, then they leave themselves open to negative responses. I, personally, really appreciate it more than I can say, when people are genuinely kind and open. As to flagging, I have only done it once when I felt the subject was totally unsuitable for any of the young bloggers who have joined lately. They probably know a lot more than me but as it was about incest, I felt it was truly offensive. Sorry for going on so long.....

I go by if you have nothing nice to say then don't say it. If I cannot say something helpful or positive then I move on to the next blog but that's just me. I think in our blogs we have the freedom to do whatever we want.

Thank you for your wonderful insight (as usual). I guess I need to pick and choose my battles. This one just upset me bc I didn't want others to think just because i didn't come out and say something that i agreed with the subject matter discussed.

What does that name mean??? I've always wanted to ask you! I digress....(yet again)LOL I didn't say anything nasty...if anything i just told this person to write whatever he felt he needed to write and not worry about the hecklers. If i had written and told him he sucked and his post was full of shit...then i wouldn't have been 'called' on it.

OMGOSH...You have got to be kidding me???
Honey Britches...blow it off!!! Do not waste your precious time explaining yourself to anyone...DO YOU HEAR ME???? If you want to write "This post rules!" to a post that you think sucks, just because you woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning, and it's "opposite day" for you. Write it! You don't have to explain yourself. It's your life. Your comments. And it's a free Country!
If you worry about every single person that has something negative to say about what you write, Oh sweetheart, you will worry yourself into an early grave!
Now put on that beautiful smile of yours and have a Fabulous Day!!! Luv U!

Most the time I pass over with ease posts I don't like or agree with. Every once in a while I put my two cents in on something I should have ignored. People I think more than not look away. This I assume is why I can get 20 hits on something that has no comments.
I don't write fake comments or something just to be agreeable, but yes especially with something from someone I don't know squat about I wonder do they want my honest opinion??? Or should I just move on? Like I said more often I move on.
Flagging, well I can't say I really know all the rules for rightful flagging. I just read something that said 'since everyone flags everything I write I'm going to be flagging everyones stuff every time I am offended'. Maybe this is what you've ran into?? Someone who did or someone who someone else assumed this person had flagged their stuff??? Who knows. As far as someone telling you they didn't like your comment well they could have marked it private if they didn't want comments. Don't sweat it!
I think it's good we can delete our own comments now. I've had writers remorse myself.
I'm sorry your not able to enjoy yourself when you've been here lately. I've felt the same way from time to time. I just keep thinking it's me feeling unsettled from all the change that has happened all at once around here and at home.

I write on here for me, so i don't care if someone else finds what i say inappropriate! The way i see it if someone doesn't like what i'm writing about they shouldn't read it!!!
I only leave comments if i can be helpful or if i agree. If i don't have something to say i don't say it. I don't think we should change our comments to protect other people because sometimes the comments left hit home! xx

Oh, You are so sweet, and i truly do love you. I believe we are destined to meet someday. Thank you for always always being in my corner! btw...new email sent today....hot news!

The thing is i didn't agree with the post at all, but i also disagreed that it should have been flagged and thats what the person found odd i supose. I've since talked to the person and they still think i'm the coolest thing since sliced bread....They're such a bad assed person anyhow....I knew they were just trying to get my goat.

I agree with you too. My comment was just a statement about flagging posts. I told the writer to sneer those that flagged. There is so much more to read here. It was just a mild crapper....I'm so over it.
