So funny.<BR/><BR/>Mallory, gee, I'm sorry your "speaking up" experiences have been negative ones. But I totally agree with you about speaking up on the internet. Even if you are reasonable about what you say, other people seem to feel they can say whatever hurtful things they want on the internet. Things get blown out of proportion, too. I learned that on one of my writing loops. I said something in jest and it got lots of flak. I can't tell you how many times I've fired off a reply to something that disturbed me, only to delete it, figuring it wasn't worth a flurry of messages back to me. <BR/>Hugs!Diane Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770373530197339170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-1158814168246332932006-09-20T23:49:00.000-05:002006-09-20T23:49:00.000-05:00I find it is best to speak up and not have folk ru...I find it is best to speak up and not have folk run all over one. But I've had many complaints when I speak up, people often take me wrong and think I was starting trouble, when I wasn't. For instance, sometimes I can't speak up on everything, especially on the internet, you know why? It's hard to show someone what you mean without them getting offended or knowing who you are, for I have family in the public eye, and sadly when I go on some blogs, I see that people are posting about this said family, cruel things and rumours, and it makes me feel out of place, for it's my family , I love them..and people can have their personal thoughts yes, but leave it as that, something personal, not publishing it over the internet and having gangs of people get even ruder...I dont know of many who have this trouble on speaking up in this sort of situation? <BR/><BR/>Being also I've done history and archaeology, when I put in experence from those feilds on history forums, no one believes me and looks over my post or gets mad..so I've admit to bad experence with speaking up...<BR/>(Mallory who's glad she wasn't Marie Antoinette-getting riots)Mallory Pickerloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14672385664643752974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-1158768367825108192006-09-20T11:06:00.000-05:002006-09-20T11:06:00.000-05:00I routinely ask for music to be turned down at res...I routinely ask for music to be turned down at restaurants, and it's true, they almost always oblige.<BR/><BR/>Speaking up, speaking up... I can't think of any particular stories. I speak up so much, it's just as likely to get me in trouble. Sounds like you've achieved a happy medium. :)Esri Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912657945785764363noreply@blogger.com
