atm there is a lot of talk about posting personal information...as evidenced in the Feedback thread....I kind of lean toward the veiw that if the poster posts sensititive info about themselves then they should not be surprised if they experience repercussions, niave to expect otherwise and making others responsible for their mistakes by banning and censor is wrong..what about free speech? commenting on a topic is what a forum is all about isnt it
This is really about a free speech dichotomy isnt it.
but then we have the "abuse" dictum.....when does freedom of speech and abuse cross the line?..
many moons ago I mentioned how I lost my husband to cancer that brought forth all sorts of things like I "bet hes glad hes dead".it was ll still pretty raw fo me as I had never experienced that type of abuse....I took it to be really meaningful hatred....I am slightly tougher now thank god.. but then it was terrible and I was shocked to see people go to those lengths to be cruel... but they do ...
as we see here every day some folks only come on forums to argue...they love it thrive on it...it would break their heart if someone didnt give them an excuse to hound them ...... I dont get angry anymore I do get exasperated and leave because why get pizzed off with someone you do not know and more to the point DONT WANT TO KNOW>...thats the way I look at it...
if you cant have a reasonable conversation agree to disagree as thats what makes the world go round....
then why get into a rage....its so obvious that a few people only want to antaganise just for the sake of it...I make my opinion known by steering well clear....
agnes FOS doesnt give you the right to abuse someone even in the most subtle of ways...
