If one participates on any chat site and gives an opinion on anything, there will be someone or many who have differing opinions. In expressing their differing opinions they may well do so inartfully, or sometimes with malice. If you tend to take those responses personally, or you are the kind that gets easily hurt, you should either stay off the forums or just peruse, or respond to those which are innocuous and don't offer the potential for strong differing opinions. Personally, i don't mind mixing it up with people that have different opinions as long as it doesn't become personal, but some people are not as thick-skinned as I. Life is tough enough without intentionally putting yourself in position to suffer. I know it can occasionally get nasty on this or any other site, but this one is well moderated, and comparatively mild.
