Reply #108: I hear you

[Wheezy]

I'm a newbie here when it comes to posting, but I've lurked here for a long time. And when we are slammed or reprimanded for stating opinion instead of using appropiate support-speak, we're no better than the current administration or The Handmaid's Tale or 1984.

Zomby, I don't necessarily agree with you, but you sure as hell have a right to say it without being accused of being a troll or a hollered at for being a naysayer.

It would really scare me if all DUers decided anybody who didn't stay positive all the time should be written off as a detriment to the cause. That's ridiculous. I believe change comes around most effectively when all angles are presented and not shoved under the rug.

I don't see you as telling anybody not to try. I don't see you slamming anybody for believing the DSM is going to be the one big thing. You are simply presenting your opinion. People can disagree or agree, but to get upset over it or begin namecalling is counter-effective.

Thank you for your opinion. You bring up some valid points. But your comments aren't stopping me from anything -- I control me, doesn't everyone here control themselves? I fail to see how you, stating your opinion, are threatening, trollish, naysaying or unproductive in the least.
