Carrying on from my "Some posters..." thread. I felt I should make a new one, seeing as this isn't really the same as that.

Some members have said and will continue to say they are scared of what to say to people because they don't know how they will react... I do find this a bit worrying, that for a forum - which relies on people having opinions, it is quite weird.

I just think that those members (and again I won't name names, it's not fair on those members) that you shouldn't be afraid. If members don't like what you post, that is their problem. The best you can do is disagree with them... but then it could turn into an arguement. What's the point? So just getyour point across, aslong as it's across and people read it they know where you stand, if someone wants to make a big deal out of it, ignore it.

I know I for one probably have people who are a bit "scared" (if that is the word to use) to reply to one of my posts/threads. Well don't be, I'm just the same as you, a member with an opinion. I apologise if I have made anyone feel awkward with regards to replying to any of my posts or threads.

Say your opnion. Don't be scared.

Jen · 03-01-2009, 10:44 PM

rayheartbliss · 03-01-2009, 10:45 PM

Ninastar · 03-01-2009, 10:46 PM

And tbh yeh i am kinda scared to say the truth cause im scared i get stick

MarkWaldorf · 03-01-2009, 10:47 PM

If you're scared to post on an internet forum then you must be weirdly insecure or feel very threatened by members.

I don't think Ross meant that you'd literally be scared to post your opinion. Just that you'd feel stupid and left out if you got jumped on for having a different point of view.

Well it is a forum. People will have different opinions and viewpoints. You really can't expect people to agree with you all the time.

sometimes, its just cuz you know what you'l say may be read in a wrong way, and things will not be understood in the right way, and just end up not saying the whole thing you wanted to say

Nobody said it wasn't a forum, infact in my post I said it is a forum. I mean that people are afraid to have an opinion, when they shouldn't be afraid to have one at all.

KKBL · 03-01-2009, 10:52 PM

it realy pisses me off when right before a member is stating their opinion they say something along the lins of "i know il get attacked for this but...".people are allowed to disagree with you and defend their opinion.then when they do post the OP will make a big deal about and say "jesus,i was just saying that..."

of course people are gonna have differing opinions life would be incredibly boring if we all thought and liked the same things but sometimes people can go crazy over and a comment can i have seen been almost held against that person for ages over really silly things like music taste for example to the point its dragged on and on into loads of posts that are not connected

lily. · 03-01-2009, 10:54 PM

1. I love Ross.
2. I love Mark(us)
3. I hate that Ross and Markus argue.
4. I think Tom is fake.
5. Jen annoys me with ORLY, IKR, ILY etc. but has made an effort to not do it to me, which I appreciate... (and I also threaten her with eviction from Club Tommy if she doesn't) :P

I have no clue what incident you're on about, but that person must be silly then. Do you really think I would post hald of the stuff I do about Britney (or something) if I was scared that people would laugh or attack me with "she's ****!", "you have no music taste". You really shouldn't care what someone else says about you on an internet forum.

Markus I do feel you aren't grasping what this thread is about.

I am talking about HOW some members feel like they can't reply to a topic, purely on the basis that they're going to get mauled. They know themselves they shouldn't care what people think, but this thread is about how they do care. I'm just saying they shouldn't worry, it's their opinion. You are kind of slipping away from what this thread is all about, that is my opinion ofcourse.

lily. · 03-01-2009, 11:01 PM

I implore you both to look at my #3.... Lmao!

pinkmichk · 03-01-2009, 11:02 PM

i was using music as a example i saw it where posters pretty muched ganged up on someone in tons of threads (prob during x factor) purely cos of the music they liked
it was the same when bb was on like the hm you like really has a effect on who you are as a person off of here
the only time i felt a bit shall i post this was over the pregnant man other times i just get on with it there is far more stuff in this world to get stressed over than some playground antics on a forum
