The human condition is a strange one, isn't it?

Someone posts how they love something...hoping to hear from others who love it, but what they get is a bunch of people stating how they hate it.

Why?

We're taught as children that if you don't have anything nice to say...remain silent, but we can't help ourselves.

It's crazy.

People can help themselves, it's that being right overrides common courtesy.

It's excused by saying it's an opinion and they have a right to express it. IMO it's rude and done to try to make others feel inferior while making themselves feel superior.

And my opinion, which is fact - LOL, is that you are correct!

OMG if you can't handle opposing views then why bother to post here? Go join a clone forum where everyone is just alike!

DITTO this!

In addition, it's also something too easily expressed. No one has to love or hate anything - it's okay to not have an opinion about anything and emotions (like love or hate) don't need to apply.

I read these boards to get opinions on things. If someone says they love a certain face cream and everyone followed suit, I'd think this was the best thing ever and I'd buy it. If one person says it made them break out, I wouldn't buy it because I'm acne prone.

We need all views, not just the rosy ones.
