Just a message for some of the users out here.
Today I answered a question out here, giving my OPINION, which I believe I have the right to do, being that I answered the question, and then recieved a very rude email from another user (not the one who asked the question) saying that I had no right to that opinion. I find this terribly inconsiderate and not very polite. I give YOU the right to profess your opinion out here without sending you a nasty email, dont I have the same right?!? Its alright to debate other people out here, and answer different arguments, but there is NO need to insult or send emails. I think people out here to need to learn a little more respect for other people and their opinions. FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!

I think that person is a complete and total idiot. And I don't care if they see this. Everyone has the right to share THEIR opinion in THEIR answer. Some people are just stupid. I totaly agree.

Meaness is an avoidance technique when we feel vulnerable. If I feel hurt, afraid, unsure, or whatever, and I am not honest about my own experience, then I get angry, mean, vengeful, abusive, etc.
Religious discussions tend to incite anger because we can be so exposed by these conversations. If someone were to comment on God's view on homosexuality and I were to have a brother that was homosexual, I'd have a lot of tender opinions. It's almost universally true for any religious experience.
I believe that useful religious conversations happen when the Spirit is felt: the warm burning in our hearts testifying of truth as we converse. When that goes, the conversation gets to end. It's how we respect the other person and still speak truth.
Some people have learned by example another way: the pulpit-pounding "voice of God" approach that demands people respect their opinions. In one place, such people are summarized as the Great and Abominable Church. It's a terrible thing that actually blocks people from the powerful, graceful, personal relationship with God that we're all entitled to.
I feel your anxiety over this. For me, it assists to take a breath as I hit the delete key. That person doesn't know you. He/she doesn't want anything but to cover up his/her own smallness.
All is well, you're doing fine. Just check in to the still small voice as you walk through life and you will be guided in all things.
Love and light

You have a right to your opinion just as the other person has a right, no matter how rude, to his. Freedom of Speech does not mean freedom from being insulted, freedom from being lied to, freedom from being upset by someone's words. So, keep in mind that Freedom of Speech may be upsetting to those listening.

I am sorry if someone was rude to you, but as you feel you have the right to your opinion and you chose that people could email you, then you have to accept that some people will say what is on their minds as well. I dislike that they have to do it in a rude way, but I know that that is just some peoples nature. I wouldn't loose sleep over it.
Pray that helps

The best thing you can do is not let it "get to you" to the point of getting all worked up over it. Ignore, let it go, and forget about it. People are the way they are, some rude, some nice, some mean, some downright nasty. Try to focus on the good, not the bad.

Some people who are out here don't know what respect is. They want to be heard but they don't want to hear. There is a breakdown in society because some parents don't teach their children about respect anymore. So some young adults are under the impression that it's ok to be rude.

Some people online are FREAKS. Based on the answer that I gave one woman here, she started jamming my inbox with deluded rants, and even found my xanga and was compulsively leaving threatening comments. I had to report her to both Xanga and Yahoo customer service. She was freaky.
I think that some people just get WAY too emotionally into these online debates, and think that because no one knows you and no one can see you, you should be able to do anything you want. Sigh. Some people suck.

Although I agreed with most of the answers on the questions answered, if I didn't agree I should respect your opinion. If you disagree with something you have the right to express yourself. They should stop all the hate and actually listen. Say whatever you want.

Don't make your e-mail public to people on this site that would take a lot of that away get a 360 account if you want people to leave you a message but other than that I fully agree with you; you are in-titled to your opinion just as they are to there's but there are other ways they could have let you know about it.

If you don't want idiots like that bothering you than you shouldn't
let strangers see your e-mail. Answers is filled with rude people
who are as brave as lions insulting you over the Net but probably
wouldn't say boo face to face. It's just part of the program.
