What happened?

Nothing specific. I just reclined, looked back, and realized that I can insert myself rather liberally. I have thoughts of concern to the sensibilities of others when I see something I disagree with, and I just considered that I too can be perceived as overly critical. I do not intend to be, but it is hard to remain silent when I feel so strongly about my opinions regarding popular, cultural norms, most of which I do not relate to well. In short, I can be a 'kill-joy', and I am a little too proud of it. I just need to reduce the frequency of my posts, so as not to violate others' sense of liberty. All is well.

Don't feel bad man you should be able to have opinions.

Oh no, Goomboi . I am not ashamed of my opinions. I simply realize that voicing them often can get people sore. If I see someone insulting someone else or using less than ideal phraseology, I feel the impulse to speak up, but do not want anyone thinking that I am playing 'warden.' All i want is for people to be respectful, and sometimes I watch too carefully.

Is that really bad tho?

There is a difference between bad and inexpedient.

I don't know what that word means.

In other words, "All things are lawful, but not all things are (appropriate)"

And "Not all things are right" even if it is defined as "right" by the people.

In my opinion making sure everything is going smoothly isn't not appropriate.

You are both right, but to chase down everything you interpret as hurtful can paint you as hypocritical since all are flawed. You may not get anywhere, and the people you admonish sizzle and find other ways of expressing their displeasure, such as suggestions planted around at random places.

They probably just know you called them out rightfully and are just sour.

I could not debate that.

Some people on the Internet are jerks don't let them get to you. Just ignore them and listen to all the positive things that internet people say.

Right out of my book (the "don't let them get to you" part). However, they have feelings too, and I desire to show myself temperate to them as well, if for no other reason, to have a better testimony... True, you should not let wrong-doing fly by, but sometimes you should be slow with the lasso, just to give them a chance to see that you are not out to 'get them,' but to promote a healthier environment.

Like bringing it up at another time just aggravates a situation that should be over is childish.
