Disagreeing is fine, just explain why

[Gerry Seymour]

Do you want me to disagree with that too

I did. It seemed appropriate.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

Happens to me, all the time.

Damn. We should all have stopped here.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

Done.

I chose "funny", which seemed an apt disagreement with his request.

 

[Martial D]

So you target a female poster with this? Classy.

So you're female. I don't care, that's not even a thing in a written medium as far as I'm concerned. I had assumed you were just a femmy dude but still, who cares.

You are my polar opposite. Im straight up, you're PC. We are never going to get along.

I almost agreed with his post, but I figured he's a good guy and I'll do what he asked.

I may agree with you right now. But I reserve my right to disagree with you in the future whenever I'll find a good reason for it.

From time to time people disagree with each other on the forum. There have been times when people have marked down that they disagree with posts of mine. That's fine to disagree, as a matter of fact sometimes its good to disagree and sometimes I want people to disagree with me because it brings about a challenge and I like to see their point of view. Doing so can help me with my growth in developing my own points of view and can sometimes change or influence a change in my points of view. So, as I said its fine to disagree and sometimes its good, I would just like to ask that if you do disagree with me about stuff to please explain why.

Or even don't explain why. Just keep it friendly or respectful as a minimum.

 

[marques]

Why is disagreeing different than liking or agreeing? I've heard people say things like This before, but never seen anyone complain about folks agree ing without comment.

Good point of view. People may agree for different reasons. So a reason for agreement could also be valuable info. But this forum is not a consulting service, so I still think everything here - including explanations or participation - is facultative (other than "friendly community").

No you are a troll. Plenty of evidence. I was a PC until I retired but not politically correct whatever that means.

I think you can click a disagree button and not give a reason.. before MT it change I remember there was like a space for (optional) comment when you left a like and I assume a dislike too.. there was never any obligation then or now, do you think there ought to be? How do you feel when someone dislike what you had said yet do not say why? Thank you

I have decided that it is in the best interests of this thread for me to disagree with most of what has been posted so far..... anything @Buka post....doubly so.....simply because I am feeling rather grumpy and disagreeable at the moment.... and he is in Hawaii and I'm not.....

 

[Gerry Seymour]

I've never so happily given so many disagrees. Regardless of the intent in your OP, Photon (which I don't actually entirely disagree with, unfortunately), thanks for starting this thread!

I feel compelled to disagree...reason..... see post #51...minus the Hawaii bit

I so wish it were possible to mark a "disagree" with a "disagree". Or at least with an "agree". I feel so powerless.

 

[oftheherd1]

I think I'll dislike myself, just for ships and giggles.

EDIT - Hey, it won't let me dislike my own post! Help me out, fellas.

Well, somebody had to do it.

 

[JowGaWolf]

Do we have to be subjected to that sort of language?

No, not joking.

lol.. When I think you aren't around, you pop up. lol. Good to see you.
