Agreed on both points.shesulsa said:Once or twice my mind's been changed (even if it was a positive point) but most of the time I just accept that someone else has a different opinion.
I think it's the passive aggressive nature of the criticism that irks some people. The fact that a person feels so strongly about his position that they have to do it anonymously is truly astounding. Talk about courage of your convictions. Most people hate weasels worse than those who are nasty to your face. Anonymous dings are the perfect forum for the passive aggressive, as it requires absolutely no courage whatsoever.shesulsa said:I think it's interesting our need to know who, what, when, where, why, how when someone slaps us on the wrist because of either our own actions or someone else's opinion. I think of all feedback as a chance to reflect on my own views, my own statements and consider the opinions of others.

Somebody dinged you - man, so what? Life's too short to worry about it. We can't all agree all the time - how boring would that be?

shesulsa said:Personally, I think if a person asserts their convictions endlessly and vociferously and profusely on this forum such that it matters enough to call people out on the carpet for their anonymous opinion that maybe that person should become a supporting member and disable their reputation.
See, I think folks look at opinions as a possession that someone else throws at them. I see opinions as opportunity to evaluate - a cause to ponder - a reason to inwardly examine just why I feel the way I do about something and why someone else either feels the same way or differently because I am responsible for how I feel.
But that's just me ....
If that was true the people that where wrong would be dinging you, cause in there eyes you'd be wrongtradrockrat said:BAAAAAAAA!
(Of course it could mean I'm always right...)
As soon as I figure out what you just said, I'm going to anonymously ding you!:lol:Andrew Green said:If that was true the people that where wrong would be dinging you, cause in there eyes you'd be wrong
