Among other members, you may have seen some posts by me over your time here. You know if you have read any that I am not a politically correct person. I am very opinionated but I have tried being respectful of all your views on my posts whether you agreed or disagreed or meh'ed on my topics 😉. Hope most of you have had that feeling from me. All I asked for was no personal attacks. I can be assertive and opinionated but I also love hearing different takes on a view. If I disagree, I hope I have disagreed politely and fairly. Opinions are meant to be discussed, enriched, changed. Everything is education.
Lately however, a lot of crossing the line has been happening because my granted, opinionated, posts are ruffling a few feathers. Perhaps it is an age gap thing between me and younger members. But I am just in my 20s.
I feel I been personally attacked on numerous occasions as a "basher" among many other things. My way of dealing with unreasonable posts has been pure logic - as I see it. Isn't the whole world just one pov? Our own? We have never seen it through anyone else's eyes. All my posts are out there for you all to see. Perhaps you read them and thought I was totally being unreasonable, that too it your prerogative. I like to keep emotions and tantrums to a minimum. I am not good at dealing with people's emotional tantrums. My fault it I get exceedingly precise about what I said, meant and what the attack said. Yes, they all do consider me and my feelings and thoughts. Who has the ability to watch a show by themselves and post from someone else's point of view. The whole internet forum thing is about self-prejection and sharing as I understand it. We are all just individuals sitting in front of a computer.
I am not leaving or anything. God knows I love this show and love making posts here. But if my posts offend you, please note it is not an attack on you or anyone else. It is about the show and only the show. I make posts about things that make me think. For the most part they are social issues.
I do get overly lengthy and make arguments when there is an unjust accusation. That is a pitfall of being a debater. I can't help it. What I post are just my own views, it is not imposing on anyone else's. There is a new topic button for everyone, please post if you have a different view. Disagree with me on my posts or others, I would love to talk. Just don't attack someone like that. Don't feel I am imposing on you just because I am vocal. I am actually considering putting an M for mature in my posts 😆 and an N for not personal.
My whole attempt here has been to put topics and jokes up to get the forum going. I want it to be number 1. Isn't that what all of you want? Why is saying that dadagiri? At the end of the day, we do it for our hobbies. Let's discuss the wonderful show. How petty is it to attack each other over a fictional show? Can you imagine who ridiculous it looks from an outsider's point of view. When I came back to IF after a gap, I couldn't believe people were attacking each other over a character in a drama. 😆 Yet all these personal attacks are turning me into the same thing. This cycle needs to end. I hope mine ends here.
WOULD LOVE YOUR INPUT ON THIS ISSUE.
Mary.
