Hey everybody. I lost my temper a few times this week. I posted some of my most expressive support for BLM and for atheism yet.
But I wasn't always nice about it.
Sometimes the temptation to turn the screws is a little too much. Or a joke I can make at someone's expense a little too rich to turn down.
Twice this week I reacted strongly to different people who threw something I said about my experience back at me outright calling me a liar. I should remember that what they did speaks volumes about them and I shouldn't get bent out of shape over it.
I need to heed my own advice. Just move on.
And for every intellectually dishonest participant there were numbers more who engaged in a friendly discourse despite our differences.
Many talked about their Christian beliefs with me calmly and kindly while I was saying things that were very likely difficult for them to hear.
What I'm saying is the trolls ruin it for everybody. And when I was trolled a number of times I became one too.
I liked this a lot more when it was light and fun. Putting controversial opinions out there changes things. I have to remember to take a step back.when I can't keep my ire in check. I can express myself and still keep things light right?
Opinions?
