Who is worried about offending others?

I do find, that when I am reading discussions that I am afraid to comment in the negative so I just don't bother. I can't work out whether I am doing it because I don't want to offend, or whether I just don't want criticism of my opinion and be cast into the dark unknown with everyone rounding an attack on me. Anyone else feel this?

we do indeed have different viewpoints, and I never expect anyone to agree with anythng I post (but it is nice when that happens). However I do expect that any subsequent posts will be civil and my views not ridiculed. Present all your counter views you want but do it rationally and pollitely. If it's a good post I may change my viewpoint, and when that happens I say so.

I've possibly made the odd comment that some people have disagreed with......but obviously they are wrong.

Sometimes several people have disagreed with me and some might see that as 'ganging up' on me or maybe even bullying......of course, the reality is that it's just several people tbat are wrong Laughing

I try not to let it get to me and continue to teach them the error of their ways.

Sunday departures, anyone? Laughing

What did Brian Clough say:

On disagreements with players: “We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right.

Yes, when someone brings up something I hadn't thought about, or a new way of doing things. Like Ian's brialliant way of winding the EHU cable

So, please tell us, Arty (Boo, not the other one), has anything you've read here removed your nervousness about posting? As you can see, the vast majority of people believe it's OK to disagree as long as it's done with respect. Most people here are decent and polite.
