I do think it's ...I guess I agree and disagree. I do think it's important to have people who feel one way as well as the other side, those that feel exact opposite. Nobody agrees on everything and that's just life, however I do think there are tasteful ways to debate something. There are many people that have closed minds and think that their way is the only way and they can be flat out rude and disrespectful about it. I've seen a lot of good two sided discussions and I've seen a just as many catty discussions where the original topic has been lost long ago. But you are right, threads shouldn't be deleted. Posts alone that are truly inappropriate for the reasons you stated should be deleted an those members banned, deleting entire threads do nothing but make people mad that took the time to actually contribute to a topic.Polish Addict https://www.blogger.com/profile/11286781506665751284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315431268781674464.post-22762550438679298812013-04-24T19:40:04.990-07:002013-04-24T19:40:04.990-07:00I feel it is polite and considerate to not be rude...I feel it is polite and considerate to not be rude or tactless. Anyone can tell the truth or, voice their opinion. However, it takes wisdom to be tactful. Recently, someone in a group I'm in let me know that a photo I shared of a hunky guy was pushing the envelope almost too far. It was NSFW but there wasn't any exposed parts. This member PM me and told me her thoughts. I told her I was not trying to offend her. She said, cool. And, that was the end of it. Two grown ups voicing their opinions. No name-calling. No ganging up against each other. Two adults having a discussion about having two different viewpoints. I think that sort of situation is more rare than not. However, social networking makes it hard to enforce manners and politeness. It's not a place to tread with thin skin, but a gathering place that should be of kindred spirits that enjoy a common interest.Libby's Pink Vanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373027910619247431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315431268781674464.post-53964064899369358232013-04-24T19:24:44.197-07:002013-04-24T19:24:44.197-07:00i meant we can't hear tones.. etc... so we rel...i meant we can't hear tones.. etc... so we rely soley on the words we seeMir Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168183538871352892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315431268781674464.post-45483397466659496262013-04-24T19:23:31.941-07:002013-04-24T19:23:31.941-07:00i'll leave it to.. different people, different...i'll leave it to.. different people, different beliefs & different upbringing. What someone finds offensive, maybe I won't...<br /><br /> Like you said, only 7% is verbal communication but online, it's 100%, we can hear tone or emphasis & see body language or hand gestures. All we see are words. Emphasis, even worse, it has to be IN CAPS, which I know can be interpreted differently amongst people. <br />After all that is said and done. I think we have to remind ourselves. This is the internet, not everyone is going to like us or be like us. Some are out for the dollar, some are out for ill gains and most of us just go on the internet to spend our hours chatting with our online friends.. <br /><br />All you can do is, do what you feel is right and get off the computer from time to time. I understand how when you "uncover injustice" there will always be someone who thinks they're being victimized.. I mean, if there wasn't someone guilty of doing that thing in particular there wouldn't be any "injustice" to bring up...<br />Injustice is probably not the correct word but excuse my lack of eng vocab lol..<br />hope you get what I mean anyway hahaMir Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168183538871352892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315431268781674464.post-51159248836653340402013-04-24T19:11:33.445-07:002013-04-24T19:11:33.445-07:00Yes!

I think it makes issues worse. AND I don't think that they SHOULD delete threads for that reason.

But don't make an opinion and get hurt when someone else has a different one.<br />Seems like it happens a lot in one specific group. Funny though because once a post gets deleted everybody discusses why its gone.Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02876482331375694473noreply@blogger.com
