Have you ever noticed

I agree with redhen- as long as you are not singling out and ridiculing another poster, and you aren't calling anyone names, you should be able to state your opinion strongly without getting attacked for it.

That is the correct opinion.

See, for the longest time I didn't know Imp was a guy.

I'll try to stay on topic.
Yes, nothing wrong with having different opinions, don't need to agree with it, or even understand, just let it be if you dislike.

The way to go through life is steering your course, not appeasing others. You cannot take on other peoples baggage and you cannot subvert yourself.
The best thing you can do is decide where you stand and push forward.
In so doing, you will find disagreement from others. Guess what?
It wont be the end of the world. Really.

Aristotle said, "To avoid criticism, say nothing do nothing and be nothing." Basically, if you have ticked no one off, then you have taken no stand.

You owe your critics nothing, if you are in pursuit of right. They react according to their wants. If you are wrong, then you only owe them an apology. After all, "those convinced against their will are of the same opinion, still."

In case you didn't realize, I was being totally faceitious about agreeing with everyone.

CAN'T DO IT

Your right Dave, it really doesn't matter ALL that much, but just the fact that a person has to deal with all that just because they have a different opinion, imo, is wrong.

Thank you. I have found that if you are not in agreement with the majority , you are called negative.

If you post on a thread with the intentions of attacking someone, then you are being negative. There is a big difference between having a difference of opinion and just being flat-out rude.
