I see a common thread here....being attacked and negativity

Could it be that when our opinion is challenged it is regarded as negative? Stop and think about that. We are happy as can be when all agree with us...but....when others disagree....watch out! We refuse to respect their opinions although they are opposite of oiurs. WE WANT EVERYONE TO AGREE WITH US!

Negativity results when we choose to debate our feelings vs. someone else's feelings that are opposed to ours. When the debate results in a stalmate, then we use harsh words in our defense. It's a two way street. And...it's human nature to protect ourselves.

Some people have opinions that are not with the majority. I don't understand why they feel the need to push the envelope when they know they are in the minority and when others have advised them to back off. Then they go whining and crying and pm-ing everyone to rally behind them when they receive negative posts.

If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the fire....or shut your mouth!
