How many of you have expressed an idea on Agnostic.com and made to feel like you are not wanted or your idea was stupid? I joined this website to try and meet people with similar beliefs and interest. My first post already has been met with negative people. Has this been your experience or was I just unlucky enough to find a couple of obnoxious people?
I've gotten the occasional negative reply. Most of them coem form the very few Trump supporters here. You have to realize that although many peoplehave gien up their belief in god, they have nto given up their beliefs in dogmas.
I try, (but perhaps am not always successful) to put my repies in helpful and positive phrasing, that is not critical of what the person said. If people wanted snarky remarks, they still be spending a lot of time on twitter or Facebook. They generally come here for a more positive experience.
I've had some folks disagree with what I had to say, and that is not only expected, but welcomed. That's what stirs the pot. Other than that I've had no problems. However, this is a public forum and trolls will be trolls and disagreeable types will be disagreeable. Thick skin helps sometimes.
There will always be people who disagree. Probably best not to let it bother you, people having different opinions isn't really a bad thing if people are respectful.
I agree. Respectful disagreement is fine. But this person was NOT respectful. He was pretty mean and belligerent. I expected that from people on Facebook- but was hoping there would be a better culture here.
Sorry that you ran into one of those early on. Unless you are confidant enough to tell them off, you shouldn't pay that immiture behaviour with any heed. Treat it like you would with a child.
Oh geez. When I first read your post, I thought you were referring to us and not members. We've had some reports about the rude member who commented on your first post and we will take action today (e.g., a final warning). His comments are not acceptable here.
Thank you
