Posts Not Me?

[hmmm_tea]

I've been thinking about some of my posts on here recently. Partially, due to some of the reactions I've had with people misunderstanding what I the point I was trying to get at and also talking to thethirdvoice last night who says that some of these posts don't sound like me at all.

I suppose that just means I'm just not communicating what I'm trying to say very well.

I like posting my iniatial reactions to items I hear in the news when I get up in the mornings, it always seems like a good way of getting my thoughts together on these matters (especially when people comment from the other side). Sometimes I don't even know a lot about the subject to start with, but I view that as ok as this is just a journal of my personal thoughts rather than cutting edge journalism.

Some of my posts perhaps come across a bit stronger than I'm meaning them though, so perhaps it's just a matter of getting a bit more clarity into these.

It would be a shame if you stopped posting your thoughts because of the reactions you've had. Surely this is the perfect place to air your view and have discussions with people who have differing views.

If you think you need to get more clarity before you let other people see what you've put, why not make the post private when you first write it, then later on in the day, read read it, see if you want to make any changes and then unleash it on your unsuspecting public :-)

I'm not really thinking about not posting my thoughts, that would be like giving in to Mr Ehrlich.

More likely I'll just be giving the phrasing of them a bit more thought.
