Do you sometimes feel you are too opinionated for MyLot?

Do you find yourself censoring your comments as you write them? I sometimes feel I'd rather not hurt anyone's feelings or make enemies and it restricts the amount of commenting I would otherwise do. Anybody else have this problem?

LOL! You're not a nice guy, eh? I suppose I'm not a nice gal - or those who have tangled with me will claim that. I say what I say, not to be purposely rude (like Simon Cowell) but so I can still face myself in the morning. Most people who like me get that.

I don't really censor much. I mean I do because there are some things you are not supposed to say here which cause your posts to be flagged, but as far as opinions (which are only different, not wrong), no, I don't censor my opinion. Why should I? If someone asks for feedback or information or opinions or ideas, why not share? If I'm not what the poster expected, oh well, they have two choices. They can allow my view to open their mind, or they can leave it and ignore it if they don't like what I said. I won't take it back. I'll never be sorry I said it. I am who I am, and I like me.

I do that too. I try to be kind to everyone here and I try to avoid an arguement at all costs. I let everyone voice their opinion freely.

Well some people are grandstanding and i couldn't blame them for that. Maybe they have a boring life outside that's why they're using myLot as an outlet. Some would go to the extend of degrading others but i guess that's just part of the game. You lose your cool, then you lose the game. Sometimes it's best of you're callous and expect to be called some names.

Do you sometimes feel too opinionated for mylot. No I do not feel like I"m too opinionated for mylot b/c that is what they are paying me for. To share my best opinion. If I happen to mess up and not use tact when I'm trying to convey a message that's only because sometimes I want the reader to understand the point very clearly that I was trying to make. I think that there is a proper way to say anything but using a bit of tact here and there you can never go wrong. So let's just keep mylotting!

I feel I could make more if I didn't watch myself so closely on here. It is definitely all about participation. Thanks!

I find myself disagreeing with people often. But that doesnt stop me from commenting! I do always read through my comment and make an effort to be respectful. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I am going to share mine, but that doesnt make the other person's any less valid. I do think there have been people who have gotten quite upset at me when I have shared my opinion. I sometimes wonder if people give negative ratings just because someone has disagreed. I think you should share your opinions, even if they are different from the person posting. It might start a discussion in which you both learn something. It might help other people come to their own conclusions by reading the discussion. I think as long as you are respectful, you have nothing to lose by sharing your opinion!
