Too safe to response?

LOL, the ups and downs of my ratings will show I speak my mind. I try to be the safe poster for the sake of my star, but honestly I don't know why. Many times I just can't hold back and I have to speak my peace. It never fails it comes back and bites me every time to because byt he next day my star drops. I think it's not fair. I think the rating should be done by mylot freinds only. That way we are more free to speak how we honestly feel and not have to worry about some jerk stalking us and dropping our rating because they disagree with us.

I used to tell my on opinion. Sometimes it may lead to sparks and debates..But i always think that people should respond in that way.

I try not to be offensive to anyone but on MyLot, as in life, I answer honestly and if it sparks debate or people don't agree, I don't let it worry me.

I do not want people angry at me, if I respond to them. I judge how I respond by the person who has the discussion. I pretty well play it safe,most of the time. On certain subjects I get outspoken, though. I get very straightforward when an entire group of people is being labelled, and I do see people on here do it. "all people from the craters of the moon have bad breath, because all they eat is green cheese." Substitute, for moon, the US, India, Africa, etc, and substitute junk food, sugar, garlic, curry, onions for green cheese. I will hop right into a discussion like that and say what I think. I guess it just depends.

Well friend its always good to to be frank no one is going to eat you if you give a frank opinion.

I don't really have any set way of answering. I just respond honestly. Sometimes it's a rant type deal if the discussion has angered me and others it's a light-hearted response to a discussion that I find funny. Really just depends on the original post.

I like to answer truthfully, even though I know (especially in religion and politics) I will likely make someone unhappy with my opinion. I do however, usually find it very natural to be courteous. But I always read my posts to see if I can tone them down in any fashion, for I've learned that sometimes people will 'hear' a different tone of voice, than the one intended when it was written.
