PinkFloyd40 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 what is the deal w/ this response?why is it that people get so upset when you attack an opinion? It creates discussion, debate.. i mean isnt' that what the whole forum is about?i'm just hypothesizing here, but maybe people just arent' secure enough w/ their opinions when they give them to encounter any sort of opposition to them..putting an opinion on a forum gives anyone the right to criticize it as what was your own belief, your own take on a specific subject, has now been introduced to others.. if someone doesnt' want any sort of feedback on their opinion they should really keep it to themselves.. either that or dont' bother gettin upset when someone else attacks it, just dont' respond..people will say that your not respecting their opinions when you attack them, but to me you are showing more respect for them when you do attack it as opposed to just agreeing or not saying anything about it. nothing worse then a yesser, replying "mmhmm..yep...riiiight" to every single question.. that bothers me A LOT more then someone criticiziing me..just my worhtless $.02 on something no one else probably even gives shit about------------------my stand on the sig controversy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugwump Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Couldnt agree more! Humility goes along way..but I do believe in takes a great EGO to always think no one elses opinion other than your own is valid..I wonder if it's the size of everyones Egos in here that make the board crash so much!?------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
