People who are afraid to post things need to ask themselves why they are afraid. Is it because they cannot handle that people will disagree? If so, then perhaps they should not post things like this. Once you believe in something, it should not matter that others do not.
I know that for some time here on the topic of dog food there were SO many people bashing some of the foods I used that I simply didn't want to jump into the fray. Why? Who knows really...I asked myself that question a few times. I still hesitate to post some of my thoughts at times ... shrug....you just have to believe in what you are saying AND IMO be willing to allow others to post their opinions. Who knows...maybe you will learn something that you believed is not so? Maybe they will as well. I have yet to have anyone show me a reason that I felt valid enough for me to change what I feed my pups but I suppose it could happen.
The bottom line IMO is people who are just unwilling to accept that others will have a different opinion...and they take it personal. I think that most of the posters on this forum are not being "personal" in their posts. and...honestly, if someone is, it is their issue. There is a report button though.....but just merely diagreeing is not reportable. We all need to put on our big girl panties and trudge along...each of us is entitled to our opinions. |
