I didn't realize I would have to do this, but here it goes. Like most people who hold opinions, I believe my opinion is correct (a synonym of "right"). Like most people who encounter those who have differing opinions than theirs, I believe that their differing opinion is incorrect. By "controversial", I meant against the apparent hive-mind that CD has. When Mr. J made his post, there were multiple replies stating that will.i.am's comment is being over-reacted to. I'm confident if you sum up the amount of those replies, they're more numerous than the amount of Mr. J-style replies. Hence, "controversial" in context of this thread. Lastly, "wrong" is also relative. Considering the fact that there is no end-all-be-all for opinions, "wrong" was used to illustrate that it is a differing opinion. |
"Calling someone out" and telling someone they are "wrong" seem like pretty black and white actions to me.
Rather confrontational tone (and I know alllllll about those). "Questioning their opinion" and "explaining why you disagree with it" seem much more in line with what you just outlined. Say what ye mean.
And thank you for confirming the existence of the "hive-mind" in these here parts. Many of the busy little bees are seemingly angry at the interlopers and are assiduously working to push these pests out of the idyllic society they have constructed. Why not have them in for tea and cakes first before showing them the door?
