RE: Enough is enough!

in #blog7 years ago

I did notice that, @matbaker, and I honestly didn't see anything that warranted that. I may not agree with his opinion, but he has a right to put it out there and he shouldn't have to fear being flagged for doing so. I just don't get why we can't have different opinions and still get along. And while I may agree with the gun views of the guy who flagged you, I will always welcome a different opinion, and I would never flag someone who engages on my post with a different view. This seems to be the world we live in today. I would love to see some political posts from you, and I would like a friendly debate... and I'm absolutely positive you and I can have different views and still be friends. You'll see me around, I follow you and enjoy what you contribute... talk to you soon my Steemian friend!

I hope so!

You know, I welcome a dissenting voice, as long as they know how to express themself in a civil and constructive manner. I think I am right (everybody does), but the only way to be really sure is to have my opinion tested. No-one should be afraid of that. Unfortunately, lots of people are.

And yes, you and I may disagree, but you have your life and your experiences, and I have mine. These will impact on our realities and our opinions. It is not necessarily about being right - people get too bogged down in that - but about being able to justify one's position. And if you are afraid of that, then you need to have a word with yourself!
