| | ech, to me, this isnt too big of a deal. people are going to have opinions, yadda yadda yadda, and it is their responisbility to speak up and claim their beliefs. if they dont, its their fault. end of story. i think this is maybe more of a personal thing than a forum-wide problem. i mean, if some girl on a forum who lives 1,000 miles away from me has a problem with me because i dont like her mascara, well, i have bigger things to worry about, ya know? |

It's as if people are afraid that they won't be accepted if they voice a conflicting opinion.

I always just assumed it was because someone pointed out something that maybe they didn't think about at first. |

| haha, thats how I am sometimes.
Julie, I understand exactly how you felt about that situation!
and its not that Im afraid to say whats on my mind. usually I just dont feel like talking [although it seems that Ive contradicted myself, with my large amount of posts!], so I let it be, haha. or maybe I dont really think Ive anything to contribute to the topic itself. but num. dont listen to me, Im just a big old nerd. _________________

| Sometimes I will know what I want to say, but not exactly how to say it or word it since I'm not good at explaining my thoughts, so I just wait until someone else says it so I can agree with them. _________________

| I think it's annoying when a topic gets high-jacked by people just saying how bad they want to "rape" eachother, and their 2 word posts.
I also don't like when people type in the same color as the background..
Yeah, I'm a bitch now. _________________

| i dont mind when things go off on a slight tangent but sometimes posts go a bit out of the way and its just annoying. like yeh im guilty of off topic posting but when its just people having a conversation that isnt remotely related...but if someone thinks of something from the post or it goes a bit off....its ok but when its pointless conversations that should be held elsewhere that noone else needs to read.
and..yes..plats thats true.
and if anon isnt working and you dont want to be you then sign into girly and feel free. _________________

| Oh, here's something that I have noticed lately...
On the "FOR SALE" forum, it says the last post is by Kiki on June 11th, and that is so not true. Is this only happening on my computer, or no... I don't get why it would do that. _________________

| if people wanna discuss it, it's allowed.
i can see why people would want to discuss it rather than just brush it away. and its brought up some other things people have mentioned.
so its all fine.
if anyone has something to say, feel free to voice it. noone's gonna shout at you for it. _________________

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I must stress, that's just my opinion, it doesn't mean the forum is going downhill into shitsville. |
Tbh that's really the person posting's problem and not the forum's. As long as no one makes personal attacks at each other don't be scared, people. _________________

| That's what I'm tryna say! It's just a few people's opinions, not the whole forum's. I just happen to be the only person with that opinion that hasn't left yet, and I'm feeling like that's making people hold something against me?
It's my opinion guys. _________________ ..

| I think I'm the kind of person who keeps the debating topics and the general topics seperate in my mind, if you know what I mean. Like if someone has some conflicting opinion to me I don't let it get in the way in the more light hearted topics. Although I don't think arguments or anything have been a problem on this forum.. more on the old one.
I think it's really sad that quite a few people have left.. I miss Akira  _________________
