More than once I've posted my true opinion on some things. As per the rules there has been no straight up flames thrown at me(well mostly). Though the snide remarks are always an opponent. It doesn't help I've never been one to beat around the bush, I'll just throw out my opinion in whatever words come to mind.

This is nothing new and it's been that way since shit, I've been here a long fuckin time.

Anyway, I don't let it bother me. Mostly because what I end up thinking, and not typing is "Nice, another idiot who thinks he is the judge on morals/decency/whatever topic at hand"

The flaps thread is an excellent example. Go back and look at basically any racism/nazi/abortion/child support/cops beating criminals/about 100 examples thread we have had here in the last 2 years and I garrentee you'll find a plethora of the same situation.

It's a problem if you allow yourself to fall to the level of someone who has to post like that.


Not exactly sure how to combat that type of thing... many times I'll agree someone attempting to sway someones opinion may seem like degrading the opposition in whatever circumstance. It would be a difficult judgement call every time it occured.

So basically, human nature, to get offended if someone disagrees with you. We all wanna be correct. Some people try to build their opinion up, so it stands out from the rest as the best choice, while others will try to knock the rest down so theirs is the only one left standing.
