kinda hard to say people cannot have an opinion about others opinions.

this assumes no person is bashed in the opinion or the opinion of the opinion. then all bets are off, they need to go down. so not cool.

@TheMemphisVette, it scares me that I think I know what you're saying. :-)

Why do some posters feel the need to tell others how to feel ? We are all different, thank goodness, and are all offended, appalled, or delighted by different things . We can disagree of course, but it is really presumptuous to instruct others on how to feel. Just my humble opinion.

I had a boss who always said when you voiced a concern,"you shouldn't feel that way". Another saying of hers was, "hang in there". I think that was her way of not addressing issues she wasn't going to anything about and since she was the boss, you either liked it or lumped it. I think there are posters who are controllers and of course there are the birds of the feather people who I can relate to.LOL I think most people want you to think like they do, it's less messy.

Same reason some think you need to EXPLAIN.

This is a board where you can express your opinion.

Why do you feel that I should explain my opinion?

It's my opinion!
Certainly explanations are not necessary when posting an opinion; it is the poster's prerogative. But an explanation can clarify meanings and/or intentions behind an opinion.

@deepwaterdotter This is true. Asking for clarification doesn't have to be perceived as initiating something other than an opening for discussion.

It's the way the clarification may appear as confrontational-sometimes it can be, sometimes not.

I just wanted to say, what motivated my post, are replies that point out that with all of the misery in the world , why sweat the small stuff. I think we all are aware of the state of the world, but our life goes on and sometimes times the small stuff is what breaks the camels back. It is nice that you can get it off your chest here, and then move on.🌺

@QVCkitty1

I've always had mixed feelings about that 'don't sweat the small stuff' attitude.

In one way, when something big/bad happens, it does make the petty small things seem like such a big waste of time and effort.

But in reality, the big stuff of life (both good and bad) is made up of/built upon all the little stuff. So if you are ignoring the details and the small stuff, you may be missing some of the greatest parts of life, or you may be not putting in what is needed in the details of building strong foundations in areas that may crumble or be missing later because you didn't gets serious enough and 'sweat the small stuff'.

IMO, I ask a simple question because I am curious and just want the poster to expand on their one sentence reply that could be taken several ways. Instead of just replying or better yet ignoring they reply in a immature series of one word answers.

If I had not opened this thread several hours later I would not have seen that my ? apparently bothered them. I didn't ask to change their pov I was just interested in their POV.

Note to self stay clear of this one!

I think sometimes it is the way a question is asked that is a problem.

Many posters here that encounter a pov different than their own become very confrontational to the point of attacking more than questioning.

And I know a lot of times, because it is the written word, I can't really tell where the poster is coming from like is easier to do in a spoken conversation. I think that causes a lot of problems in forums like this. Something is interpreted completely differently than it was meant.
