When you don't post?

[mello]

Do you ever really really disagree with someone on the forums but you don't post what you think just because you know them and don't want to start crap? Man I find myself alot of times not being me cause I like the person that posted but totally do not agreee with what She/he said. (Racegrll you don't have to answer we know what you think LOL and no it was not you;) )

Disagreeing with someone is pretty much black and white whether you know them or not, but there are any number of ways to express your disagreement. If you are friends with someone you disagree with, I don't think the person would be offended if you said so publicly because in the end, you will most likely remain friends. Haven't you ever had an "arguement" with a friend?

I've disagreed with opinions here and elsewhere and, on occasion, have posted my differing opinion. Whether I knew the person or not made no difference. As long as you don't insult or ridicule or call somebody ignorant because of their post count (quite unlike the too common occurance on a certain digit gear dot com website), I say to say what you want to say. That's why we are here, right?

There are many different relationships here. The thing I like about this site is that many of us know each other to see each other and a fair bit of us hang together at races. Those are the people I couldn't care less if they disagree with me. I know it isn't personal and there is no point in having a forum without it. It shouldn't change your relationship with those people personally. :)

Then there are those who you don't know either through chat or socially. If I was ever to meet them in person and thought they were goofy on the forums, it would have no bearing on what I think of them if they started coming into chat regularly or came out to social gatherings and I met them and/or started hanging with them at races.
You need to separate the forums from reality and real life/chat interactions. I think some of us forget that and treat it as more than what it is. A place to come and debate. ;)

Discuss, differ, but above all respect. :D

And don't some of you start disagreeing with me to make me prove my point and push my buttons........ ;)
You know who you are........:p

[DjDrOmusic]

Oh RaceChic you know how we love your buttons!!;) :p :shakehead

What does liking somebody have to do with agreeing with somebody? I've had plenty of interesting discussions I've had were with friends who I completely disagreed with. (Besides, hearing a varying viewpoint from a friend who you know and respect is more likely to register than hearing that same viewpoint from some nameless, faceless, clueless keyboard jockey.)

[trubritz]

Hey, I like (and lurv) Mrs Trubritz, but I don't always agree with her.

That is, when she tells me its OK to of course....:laugh:

Then there are these times that I reflect and am just so glad I didn't post in the heat of the momment and hurt someone just cause I think I am right and they are wrong. :) Took a week or so to figure it out. But yah. Sometimes biting my tounge is better than to ever hurt anyone!

[oddlycalm]

I dunno mello, I'm not sure I agree with you on this one...:cool:

Seriously, sometimes it's just not worth the hassle, and sometimes waiting until the heat of the moment passes is the the smart call. This is such a laid back and polite forum that I can't ever see myself going to the trouble of fueling up the flamethrower and cleaning the carbon out of the nozzle.
