I Hate Being Judged By People That Dont Even Know Me
It seems that people who disagree with your opinions on a posting on SW, or on a certain subject, think they know who or what you are about.
If you answer a question and someone reads your reply and objects, that seems to open emotional floodgates. The same goes for a "hot" topic when you state an opinion or a suggestion. Because you say something which is what you think, people jump all over you and say, "You (are this)", and "You are (that)."You are assumed to be dumb, stupid, crazy, nuts, and a few other descriptive phrases.
If I make a statement, it is my opinion. I am NOT making demands that people think the way I do or agree with what I say. NOBODY agrees with EVERYBODY. I am neither a prude, nor thin-skinned (as some people perceive me to be). I am not a bluenose, either. I know on what side of my bread is buttered and who owns the marmalade. They are willing to share - okay, that's one thing. But that doesn't entitle them to tell me to stick my head in the sand because they read my words a certain way.
SW is a fairly free Social Media place that usually allows you to say just about anything online. As long as it remains so, I will continue to offer my thoughts and opinions. If anyone differs with anything said, let them tell me - and explain why they think so.
