I think it's like talking to yourself.. especially if the person is no longer active
on the site.. I'm new but I see what's going on.. I recognize it from down in
my bones.. their are some folks on here that are hell bent on division and
conflict.. hell bent.. and even if you're not in the fight, it has an effect on you.
it presses you down a bit..
I understand you with that; however, some people take someone "not following the party line" or not taking the popular route as spreading the seeds of division and conflict.
Challenge to someone's thoughts and opinions is healthy. It becomes unhealthy once the challenge goes personal and attacks on personal integrity or sincerity come into play. In this thing, you can be neither friend or foe. Just be someone trying to make sense of how you personally view the world and make your contribution the best way you see it.
That's life. When I die, I could care less how the next person viewed me - my only concern is did I stay true to myself and live my life as the person I am rather than the classification people made me out to be. Too some - you will be a hater, an unconscious negro, a shucking and jiving coon, a race-traitor, an ignorant colored and to others - a revolutionary mind and advocate for change, a nation-builder, a self-sacrificing matyr. Yet, regardless of the definitions, you are only you.
