Is there something wrong about expressing yourself on Amirite? Instead of being mean and back-stabbing...it's better to be honest and upfront. Or so I've always heard.
Seriously...wouldn't you be somewhat flattered if someone PM'd you with an issue they were having around you? Not in forum...but in Private... I guess not everyone feels that way...the point was noted and I'd say I was sorry but I'm not sure exactly what I'm sorry about. I have said my piece about politics and it felt great to rant for a bit...that was a one time incident; the only thing left to say is that I dislike the fact that the negativity from politics influences Amirite. Certainly it is a good idea to stay away from most political posts; but politics (and negativity) is invasive...it can creep in from other directions, too.
We all have a right to express ourselves and our opinions, but I resent it when I give an opinion or just make a statement, then someone tells me I should do this or that, and I should change what I have said. And that my comments should have been stated differently. I'm very capable of stating what I believe and NO ONE needs to tell me differently.
PM me...and tell me who's being doing this. Is it me?
I think I understand.... I think.
Now...I'm NOT telling you what to do, say or think. I'm suggesting this... Try what I did. STARZY! That was a great idea...
Put out a post...There are many reasons to hate Trump and here are mine... Feel free to add yours...
So this whole post becomes your forum...you can say what you want...give it your all...etc...etc...
What do you think?
I''m not sure what bothered Tiff.
Some topics can't always be avoided; some need to be met headlong and with a force.
If topics are constantly avoided and tamped down...it can build up resentment and animosity against people; whereas...venting a couple of times on a post can clear the air...also tacitly allowing others the freedom of self expression as well...
The nice thing about ranting and venting is that once it happens...it happens... And when it's done...it's done. At least for the most part.
Nothing wrong with expressing yourself. Why sugar coat it...this ain't a bakery.
