I am not shy about stating my opinion - having said that, I read a lot of writers and yes by doing so I have learned a lot about life and writing - at the same time I am mindful of how I state my opinions on others' posts - the idea is to engage in discussions that are respectful - however, I see sometimes it feels like ppl want to force their opinions on you and yes I have had comments that cross several boundaries -

I think one must also look at what you are trying to achieve as a writer on this platform - one of mine is building community so I always try to find the positives in an article and highlight it -
