You are absolutely entitled to your opinion on this forum (subject, rightfully, to censor by the administrators). As far as having to bear the injustice of an “angry mob,” I find that, often, the response of any audience is relative to the “tone of voice” in which the message was sent.
Without a doubt, presenting an alternative view point to a crowd of passionate, like-minded people is no easy task; it takes a little skill and a lot of finesse if you want to get your point across. Mostly, though, it requires respect for your audience.
Expressing your opinion on a subject you know to be a sensitive and personal one should be done with sensitivity and respect. When you deliver a message with hostility and vitriol, you do nothing more than antagonize your audience.
But something tells me this was your objective in the first place.
Well said Ma'am, and is a very accurate assessment of 95% of this guy's posts.
This is my feed, and it’s about 30 people ready and waiting to blow Trump no matter what stupid **** he does. Sorry for having an opinion that differs from the angry mob here. I voted for Trump, didn’t realize I was voting for Elon too. Drain the swamp….and fill it with billionaires?
Dumbest crap I've ever heard. Every president in the history of this nation had advisors that no one voted for. Turn off CNN already
"The tone" is always the problem for those that zig when the herd zags.
We need to tweak our personalities in order to fit in?
I will simply put The Truth out there, and it will stand on it's own merit, like it or not.
No. You need to learn humility. Being an arrogant offensive jerk won't help your cause. If your goal is to lead people to JESUS maybe tone down the insults.

Who has been insulted and judged? Who is throwing insults now? Your language has slipped to new lows over the last month or so with hatred and fafo garbage.
You better wake up ole buddy. I don't pat people on the back and tell them it is okay as they slip into deception. "The days are evil" Tell me how to sugar coat THAT!
BTW telling me how to better lead people to Christ is not my idea of humility. We will see where we BOTH stand in these efforts, and soon lol.

Ah, now I know what a MonsterSpike is!
To answer your question, if your “personality” is offensive then, yes, you might want to consider changing it. Oh, I know what you’re going to say: “This is who I am! Why should I change who I am for somebody else?” My answer to you is this, if you ever want to convince your audience of the validity of your point, it’s best not to deliver it with hostility.
You can do it. I know you can. In fact, I bet you do it all the time, changing your personality. Every time you want something from somebody, I’d bet you temper your “personality”—maybe even become nice when you want something from somebody—to increase your chances of getting what you want.
All this said, I suspect that, like my response to kae-something-something-something, this response will fall on deaf ears. I suspect your objective is not to contribute to the discussion, it is to “drop a t*rd in the punch bowl” to create a reaction.
Never mind. Great job with your posts yesterday. I gave up on the other one.
I have to keep reminding myself to not feed the troll. One of these days a line will be crossed and he will go the way of DapperDan, GreenGoblin and BogusBenelli. Just a matter of time.

That is absolutely the best way to make him go away... It's 100% effective. To ignore his posts, is the best medicine. I literally never see his posts unless someone quotes his drivel and insults...
