ORIGINAL: IronBear Two points here: - Once you place anything in the publice forum using any media, you have given people the right to make commentary on that information you have given, from a content and presentation aspect. If you don't want critiques done place anything at all in a public arena. It is fair to say that many comments are positive and thus may be benificial. That some people use private means of communication to voice their oppinion may well mean that they wish not to cause embarrasment to the owner of the original material. Of course it may also be due to their not wanting to draw flack for sounding nasty too....
- When any one starts to complain about unfavourable criticisms in any format, they by their very actions are attempting to force their beliefs, attitudes and/or standards upon others who have differing eliefs, attitudes and/or standards. Those who so do this complaining about people who believe and do things differently are no better than the right wing Christians who will never stop untill they are wiped off the face of the earth (My personal choice) or untill few people listen to them.
the second point is a very sore point for me havig needed to battle this same mentality in local, state and federal politics when some blkue collar wowser tries to stop everything from strip clubs to brothelks and adult shops/magazines/websites.... On a final note regarding profiles, I as have others have in the past invited people to read and either post or contact me privately with their thoughts. I have my profile because I want it read so folks can see where I'm comming from and this especially applies to slaves who may think they will be suitable for me.. I think putting something in a public message board gives someone the right to respond. It actually invites it. But having a profile doesnt mean people have a 'right' to just shoot off critical emails for the sake of being nasty, or even for the sake of giving 'constructive criticism". Maybe their critisism is not wanted. What makes a person think that their opinion of the profile is more important than the authors opinion of it? I find it rude and offensive and would only email someone if I had something to say to them or ask them in regards to possibly having something in common, or something positive to say. I would never email someone to critisise their beliefs or their writings. Its like saying,= since your shades are open, I have the right to critisize what your home looks like inside. If you dont like it, you dont enter. You dont knock on their door and suggest they rearrange their furniture. This must be a problem for alot of people. I personally would just delete and block. But Ive seen alot of related threads on this type of thing where people are really pissed about mail. It can be offensive to find, but damn, just block it and move on.
