Unpopular opinions
-
This has been one of the most controversial threads we've had on this forum. As such, the moderation staff has debated for the last couple of days what to do with it
In one camp, we have had members complain that this thread is abrasive and judgmental. As it is reserved for unpopular opinions, it gives an outlet for those that have an opinion that may be theirs and theirs alone, or for a handful of people.
In the other camp, we have had members say that removing such an outlet limits their ability to speak out and express themselves.
So after much discussion, we have decided to reinstate this thread. To be honest, this is one of the few threads I monitor several times a day, and it has been for the most part, civilized. I have my own unpopular opinions (usually regarding gun control) that I get into heated debates with my friends, and while we may not agree or even agree to disagree, we are still friends.
To both camps of opinion, I have this to say to you. One, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all stink. Two, regardless if people express their opinions here or elsewhere, it's their opinion and you cannot take it away from them. They will still have that opinion even if they don't declare it here. Three, remember the analogy that this forum has always had regarding how you compose yourself in here: do not say anything here that you would not say to the baddest motherfucker in the bar with a bottle of Jack in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

Holy shit, I think you all got one right, (don't think I have ever seen a thread locked up & then opened) sort of a grand opening grand closing. . . is that unpopular, hahahahaha
just hope not too little too late to mend the rift this might have caused . . . .

If not, tough shit. We only try to do our best and sometimes we get it wrong. But when we do get things wrong and we are subsequently convinced that we did, then at least we are men enough to reverse the decision. When the thread was moved, it was deliberately moved rather than deleted, so we could reinstate it if we so had to….

I'm glad you said that and I hoped I touched upon that in my previous post: if you truly have friends here, if you truly are part of this community, you'll put your big boy pants on before you come in here. Because having a differing opinion, at least for me, does not preclude you from being my friend

don't be like that G$, i know you are a senstive bastard & i will publish the pictures to prove it, hahahahahahaha
folks get all caught up in their feelings even when something isn't about them. i know i'm guilty of it all the time, but that is usually for one of two reasons:
1. i'm being a whiny b!tch, no disrespect to any b!tches out there
2. my spider sense is tingling & i can smell the person trying to start something with mei do think you all try to get things right despite if you never opened any of my threads you locked down
i kid, i kid. see me making it about me again
all
even if i can't stand you -
We should have a bouncer for this thread who refuses the pussies entrance…
Perhaps some kind of questionnaire is in order, a checklist for ponces if you will... "Do you listen to Radiohead" could be a good first question. If the answer is "Yes", then alas, a swift kick to the bollocks followed by being thrown out of the thread would follow...
-
Agreed on so many levels and Radiohead are a bunch of pretentious jerk offs

Two possibly unpopular opinions:

I'm glad I don't have bollocks
-
P we need you around more often!!!

I want more mod interaction!!!! Maybe the most unpopular opinion around. I long for the days when threads were guided by Beatle and Landon.
