Does it never happen to you that you listen to someone or read something and you disagree completely? And you know that it would be useless to say or write to that person to change their mind. Then it's easy to just click on sad or maybe confused to show to others that what was written is incorrect. I.e. with some people and some politicians. People just don't want to listen to facts. There is no point in even trying to explain things to them. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cdemundo Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 Interesting to learn that correction of English learned in second or third year of elementary school is considered "nit-picking grammar" by some here. Problem is that grievous errors in English hurt the ears of those of us who learned a bit at school. Even hurts the ears when read silently. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If members are forced to articulate [in a civilised fashion] their differing opinions you'd get an animated debate, which is what a forum like this one should be thriving from. Throwing in negative emoticons just goes against that by spreading sterile bitterness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seppius Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The forum should either open them up to see who is ranking your post, or do away with them, except tick maybe, someone is always confused at my posts whatever I say, obviously someone I have upset in the past. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The behaviour you refer to is , in my opinion just plain childish , Emojis and or comments should reflect only the content of the specific post they are directed at and not the person who wrote it. I can go at it hammer and tongs with anybody regarding the debate of a specific subject. but can also find myself in total agreement with the same person regarding other matters and always comment in line with this. Although I never bear grudges there are a few on here, less than half a dozen, with whom I find it impossible to find any common ground whatsoever. I imagine most members share a similar experience and probably in regard to the same half dozen posters 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclag Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, BigStar said: Something to be said for that, esp. when you get a lot of likes. However, most posters are too immature to accept a negative emoji and take it personally. Often leads to emoji stalking--which we still have, but much less. Hence the anonymity is on balance a good thing. In the OP's case, people just often disagree with his little cynical, stereotypical observations. I disagree, I want to know the user name behind the emojis . Im fed up with “Somebody reacted to a post”. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im fed up with “Somebody reacted to a post”. I much prefer to know the identity of all emoji posters, as it enables me, if I so wish to make a targeted response, either positive or negative.. Ie if somebody is confused I may attempt to explain things to them a little better. If an anonymous person is expressing themselves its hardly worth worrying about 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
