In reply to the discussion: Men [View all]H2O Man
(73,537 posts)There are topics that I know are controversial, and that adding my two cents will result in some people tossing insults at. Others disagree, but are attempting to discuss in a meaningful way. And there's always going to be one person who "loses all respect" for me. (grin)
While I recognize that I do not have a monopoly on the truth, or know everything about any given topic, I like to express my opinion. I tend to have as much respect for those people who will disagree with my opinion, but not view that as something personal, as those who agree with me. And I don't care one way or the other about the few people that I've come to have no respect for. I'm no more likely to respond to them on a topic where, by chance, I might agree with whatever opinion they do express, than on a topic like this.
