Likes given and likes received

[Monica]

there's nothing wrong with keeping your distance from forum arguments.

I agree, and what I've been saying for quite awhile. If someone doesn't like a particular discussion, why not just stay out of it? Rather than using the like button to gang up on others.

i really am sorry Monica you felt so bad about my post that it still bothers you, if you're talking about the post i made where you said i dissected you. i really do regret that now as it brought you pain.

Oh gosh, Oceania, I don't even remember which post you're talking about! I wasn't referring to you at all!

Whatever post that was, has long been forgotten! But thanks, sweetie, for caring about my feelings! (which I know you do, which is probably why the post got forgotten)

i'm far from perfect. most of us are. but i stand by what i said about the button, i don't think likes are a bad thing. they're a neutral thing and we should develop a strong ethical character to use it well. and that will take a few mistakes here and there.

I agree, that would be preferable. I don't really care about the like button. People will find ways to be hurtful no matter what. I just don't like making it easier for them.

i understand we all have triggers where we feel hurt over what someone else thinks is no big deal, but you can't legislate that kind of thing to apply to everyone with a blanket sweep.

I agree with you here. (You know my views are the same as yours, regarding personal freedom/liberty.)

that's how fascism starts...i mean look at that bill where they wanna make everyone have to post under their own name on the internet. if that happened we'd be so effed to the uck.

Oh wow, I didn't even know about that!
