2 Sides....

[lordbyron]

Wow there are literally 2 sides in this forum and at any given time one side steps up and and takes a pot shot at the other and the other cries trolling. Then the next thread the rolls are reversed.

Sometimes it truly is trolling but sometimes is just a counter point and gets called trolling. Forums are great places to get a lot of different opinions and adult debates on any given subject. But it seems in this forum when the other side does offer up it opinion its instantly trolling.

I find myself having to put disclaimers in some of my posts just so it won't be considered trolling, when all I want to do is add my opnion.(and yes I am very opinionated)

I am not saying we all have to get along like best friends but lets respect others feeling and rights to post their opinions on this board. And not act like children and cry every time someone does not agree with you.

I for one agree with both sides on certain subjects. I may agree with side A on one subject but side B on another.

Any time you post you leave yourself open for a difference of opinion. Just like now I am leaving myself very open to get bashed here but it was my choice to post this. If you don't agree with this then feel free to post your opinion, I am a big boy I can take it, but on the other hand if you do post and disagree with me I have the right to disagree with you. Thats the beauty of it. I am not going to take it personally, unless you attack me personally.

Doesn't matter what other people. It only matters what the staff of the forums think. No need to put a disclaimer if you know what you're posting is well intentioned, the moderators are smart enough to know when people are intentionally being trolls or not,

What, specifically, are you talking about? Last I saw someone say trolling was when NJ compaired Aria to Fat Bastard...

My point there is that I have as much right to post here as you do(unless you own it)

I was not bringing any specifics up it happens on almost any thread. And I don't want to even come close to the religion topic.

I wasn't comparing her! It just reminded me of him when he lost the weight on the Subway diet with the hanging skin, geeze!

Was he trolling or did you assume he was. Or was he making a funny, Remember the whole "Humor" thing.

That is a perfect example of the 2 sides. Instead of asking him what he meant you assumed what he meant.

I personally don't always agree with Aria but I do respect what she says. And I give here all credit in the world for losing the weight. Its not easy to do.

Well four people took it as such and voiced it. If it's that easily taken as such, it's most likely something you shouldn't post.

It's still insulting humor or not. So have been so many threads on both sides. Yet both sides keep it going when it should be stopped.

I really find that people on these boards have a hard time admitting when their wrong and apologizing. I had NO ill intent with that pic but I went ahead and deleted it anyway.
