    No disclaimer this time, it seems like people just fly right past those.
    Besides, this part is very unlikely to offend anyone and I have a point to make.


    That point has to do with my reputation.
    Let me state now that I personally don't care whether or not people like me, but I seriously put time into thinking about posting my last thread. I made the last thread knowing some people would not agree with me..
    But that is okay! That wasn't the point, to be honest.
    What I am trying to say is that, if I go against your opinion, that automatically makes me a bad person. And when I do go against it, half of the forum gets defensive.
    ...Which I can see why.

    You guys need to bring it down to Earth a little bit, be civil about your discussion, just like I always tried. While it is true I have been in countless debates here on the forum, I am simply wanted to defend what I believe in.
    Before you call me a hypocrite for that, look at yourself first.
    I know that it is hard to hold in stuff, especially myself, but we all beliefs here, and I am almost sure everyone has at least once stood up for what they believed in at least once on here.
    Now back to me, I have been in countless debates because of my views are different that everyone else's, but I am going to do what is actually right, and not what the world deems right.
    However, I must say that what I think is right is not always going to be actually correct, but I love staying my opinion, and that is that.

    Now, ask yourselfs this question, did my last thread change your opinion of me?
    If so, don't let it happen again. I have not let my opinion change just because someone is a socialist, a Muslim, or anything else. (No, I'm not referring to you
    @Katy_ , I have other friends.
    However I am still open to friendship, even if I literally complete disagree with most of your views)
    My opinion of people is by their personality, not their race, religion, political views, or sexuality.

    Rather I look for intelligence, and I would rather have it no other way.
    Neutrality and diplomacy was my goal, but I obviously failed at that here. In the future you can expect me to be though.

    This is not to boost my reputation, but rather a PSA.
    If you let people's opinions change your view on them as a whole, it will be much more difficult to continue in life. Instead, if someone's opinion is different then yours, let them to their own.
    Wanting to change their opinion is not a wise choice, and you will feel better if you leave them alone.
    It will clear your conscience of quarrel with others.

    That was a lie. Humans will always be self righteous in some way.
    That does not mean I made this with the full intent of my reputations status, when I say "I don't care about my reputation", I am actually saying that while I may try, nothing will either raise it back up again, or lower it, and that is okay.
    At the end of the day, this thread is a bit selfish, but same goes for yourself.
    However, I don't value others over myself though.
    Instead, this thread was to defend myself against those criticising me for my views, while also saying a few things about other topics. Call me selfish, but so are we all.
    I can say for a fact that I am trying to do good also, while I may be a bit selfish,
    I truly do care for all of you also.

    If you look at me, I have sparked multiple debates, contradicted myself, and other things.
    But I think everyone forgot what a rant is, but that is not the point.
    Don't follow my mistakes.

    Instead, keep your opinion either to yourself, or find a civilized way to state them.
    If you can keep a neutral tone, people are likely to give you one back.
    This is 100% okay! It is human nature to debate with others!
    But if you remember what I said above, you should know when to draw the line.
    Getting angry will not help you, like myself. Learn something today, or else next time you may end up doing what I did. Even if my last thread was not wrong (in my eyes), I should have done it differently. Your reputation does not matter as long as you can hold it together, it is not the end of the world if people don't like you. That is life, people have disagreements.
    Be civil, be nice. Because if you don't you will end up the way I did.
    ~Venom.

    To be compeletely honest I really don't like or think it is ok to discuss issues such as these on a minecraft forum where most of the people here are here because they want to have fun.

    I still haven't changed my opinions (which are positive) on you neither have I changed my opinions (also positive) about Kate after seeing the thread you are talking about.

    I feel like you could be doing better things with your time. Writing paragraphs about these topics on a minecraft forums sometimes isn't the greatest idea. You have to remember this is the Internet and the majority don't care about your opinions.

    I know, but I makes me feel better inside because people actually take the time to read them :D

    I don't think it was necessary to tag me here.
    That's all I'm going to say.

    I did not want to indirecty mention you.
    I would have much rather directly addressed it than took the cowards way out.
    I know I have no reason to, but thank you ;)

    I'll have to agree with Xcel here, I think that these types of threads are not really something that should be discussed in a Minecraft forum, or at least something that is important and necessary. Besides, when it comes to opinions, you have take into consideration that in a way there are no right and wrong opinions and that it's an endless debate.

    As @Netherr and @Xcel Said, This does not to be posted on this specific type of forums. On your last thread, I only disagreed of the making and was saying most people need to stop being cliché. I am always open for friendships with you venom but that was just a simple and long opinion of mine. No need to be doing this doing these long paragraphs that will be continuously talked about until it has been locked by a staff member. Anyways that will never view who you are to me and hopefully anyone else.

    Fine, but I must say that I love talking about these topics, and I know others do also.
    Well, really the point of this thread was both a test to see if people would say exactly what you guys are saying "It is a minecraft forum", and to send a message. Clearly nobody cares anymore.

    Locking now, unwillingly.
