Are you Opinionated or just Judgmental?

Cynical, I would have to say in order to give you my best opinion about something I read it in it's entirety, becuase if you don't you lose what the topic is truly about.. My header could be Children and the fire... But my discussion could be aksing do you thinks it safe to have your child roast marshmallows over a campfire or is is safer over the grill? So you see a header can give a indication of what is to come but not the real subject matter so Yes I have to read the whole discussion .. Also it would be poor of me not to think of my personal feeling on a subject because that helps you with your opinion on what a person should do, but it's not like say for example I dislike loose leaf tea but love instant tea and your discussion is about the benefits of the loose leaf tea. Just because I hate it doesn't mean I wouldn't see the benefits but I would question the benefits and where you got your answers about the benefits so I could be more educated. It really depends on the situation. You have probably noticed from the discussion that I answer of your's if I need more information I ask for it .. I would hate to give you bad advice or a bad opinion with out all the facts. I try and be as open and honest with every one I post to as I would like them to be with me. Have a nice night Cynical.

I'm opinionated. In fact I'm so opinionated the star rating reflects it. I've even had people on multiple occasions act so dirty regarding my opinion (they'll just go behind my back to talk, rant and stick their "I'm better than him" noses up, they do this a good number of times), but when it comes to real discussion... NOTHING. I'll keep this one short since I'm dealing with a headache and some feverish feelings (along with the stress from a couple of other days/events). As for what you described, yes some people here are judgmental. They'll either see your name associated with something they really just whine about (not discuss), or they'll read a post and then make gross assumptions. Others will simply skim a post (more often done with longer posts) and then fill in whatever blanks they want to make themselves happy (more assumption crap... ain't it great!? -_-).

Well if the discussion is about a general topic and seeks information I never oinionate it.I just give the required information. if it requires a thing in life style I cannot help telling my opinions.

I would have to say opinionated. I do not judge people even if their views and opinions are different from mine. There might be certain opinions that I do not understand (maybe all the details have not been given) I sometimes don't understand why a person reacts the way they do but that's how it is...people react differently. Most of the time, I react based on the information given...sometimes I ask for more details or just respond with different options. My personal feeling do play a role in my response but I make sure to point out that it's my personal opinion and it isn't necessarily the right one and other's might have a different opinion.

If the poster is talking about a situation that I have a lot of experience with, then obviously my personal experience will color my response. However, I'm not one to jump to conclusions, and I'm not one to be judgemental. You'd have to tell me straight out that you did something REALLY horrible to make me upset, or show very obvious bigotry. I don't assume those things are there when they haven't been made obvious though. I'm told that I'm always nice, and I've often had friends marvel over how kindly I respond to even rude posts. *shrugs* It's just part of my personal life path and honor code to behave the way I do.

I guess it depends on the type of discussion it is. I try hard not to be judgemental but sometimes it's hard and I can't keep my mouth shut. I like to think that for the most part I'm opinionated, I read carefully and whatever I feel just kind of pops up. But someone may take my opinion at times and twist it to make it look as if I'm judgemental. So I guess it really just depends.

I think when I write to any discussion anywhere I use my own feelings and opinions. However I am open minded and I do read what someone has written and use the information they have given me to influence my response. I try not to judge anyone for their own opinions or thoughts but I also do not hesitate to share a part of myself in everything I write and in that my opinions usually come through clearly. I think the difference between being opinionated or judgmental is that when you are judgmental your opinions contain an air of I am right and you are wrong. Sometimes even sound attacking or cruel. Opinions shared openly without judgment should come through with the feeling of here is what I think or feel but you take what I say and do what you feel is right with it. Just my humble opinion
