here's something that everyone loves: controversy. in your opinion, what is member bashing? when does one cross the line between expressing an opinion and bashing a member? or do you believe that any verbal expression should be allowed in the forums? just thinking, wondering.

edit: also, i'd like you to be honest: do you enjoy cb drama? do you believe that without drama, cb would be uninteresting? do you think that free posting and conflict makes it a better place?

think...about it this way..

don't say anything to anyone that you wouldnt like to hear yourself. like i remember someone calling me a bitch.. and then i called her a bitch and she got all uppity about it...

you may think you're just "stating your opinion" but if you KNOW it's going to offend someone, and if they didnt straight out ASK for your opinion, but you say it anyways because it's "funny" or "amusing," THAT'S member bashing. You're disrespecting the other person, and while you think it may be funny, it can also be hurtful to other people.

and i believe most people in members photos.. ok i know everyone thinks people just post pictures to get compliments... but hi.. what if you just took a lot of pictures and wanted to share? that doesnt mean you're looking for compliments or any other opinions.. it means you just wanna show people. so just because they posted their picture, doesnt mean they asked for your opinion, neh? similar to how i post my work up or i submit skins.. i submit them because i think people will enjoy them... i don't necessarily care for your opinion; good or bad.

and dont say anything you'd be afraid to say in the real world
