Do your feelings belong to you online?

So last night I offended a few people when I called someone out for seeking attention. I was told that if I had my own opinion or 'decisions' about it I should post elsewhere because those feeling were theirs and not mine.. but when you publicly post something online (in a discussion forum no less) doesn't that open it up to everyone else's feelings on the topic and their opinions?
Why get offended if someone's opinion doesn't match your own when you publicly put it out there for anyone to chime in on?

It's possible to express opinions without being insulting or blatantly insensitive, not everything is a joke, some people here have serious problems and no place else to turn but an anonymous website....

Showing a little empathy when expressing an opinion is not unreasonable in some instances..

@SW-User it was a meme though.. not even an insulting one, and someone else was the one who started the name calling. 😉

@SW-User you're fine. I was just messing with you about the name calling. I was being an a-hole about it last night. 😂

@SW-User it means you talk a big game with your posts but then make stupid comments such as this.

If people are stupid..are you not a person and calling your own self stupid?

Fuck dude. 🤔

Many narcissists, few give a dams.



That's the real world too. That's why 90% are phoneys that think they rule the world right now.

Trouble is, on the internet fake give a shit only gets a good faker lots of dissolving assholez around them.

If you put the sum total usefulness of the world's dissolving assholez into one person you'd have a yard of dog crap looking for an ass to climb into.

Lol

Depends, if you're just tearing someone down for a giggle, then yeah... You're a cunt. But if you are just having a discussion and sharing your opinion then that's fine. Even if your opinion is fucked, freedom of speech is still a thing.

I agree that if a person places a post then it's an invitation to debate and comment. What I have learnt is, depending on the topic of the post, very often people can't accept or won't tolerate anything that they think is criticism. Don't worry about it.

It's a public forum so everything you post is open to everyone on SW. Some folks get really mad if you disagree with them and actually tell you it's none of your business. Ha!

It comes off as putting down the other person and people don't like that feeling.

Do people not have the right to post as they wish? You also have the option and right to scroll past and not even comment. How do you know that person is seeking attention? What is WRONG withseeking attention? Maybe they get none in their life..they deserve to have some attention.

What was the point of you "calling them out?"

Also..lots of people confuse opinions, facts, and beliefs and simply assholish behavior..

@JaggedLittlePill People can post whatever they want. I thought that was the whole point of this site. Its just ridiculous that on a public forum people say crap like, "ohhhh this is their post, and if you don't feel this kind of way about it then you shouldn't reply."
I chose to reply just like they chose to make the post just like you chose to reply to this even though it seems that you don't agree with me.. and that's completely cool. That's what makes the world go 'round.
There's nothing wrong seeking attention, but just ask for it if that's what you need.. don't disguise it in a post about superficial self harm. That's playing on people's sympathy to get them to kiss your ass. They're holding other people's feelings hostage just to get some kind of pity self worth.
I know I'm an asshole, but at least I dont try to hide it.
