sudrien:
I am afraid to post actual opinions to tumblr.
Reblogging is one thing. Trying to correct bad assumptions. But, if I posted it…
As sombody would read it, and, misunderstanding the conclusion I’ve come to, would agree - but they wouldn’t be agreeing, because they don’t actually understand the opinion.
I could stand disagreement, if respectful. If responding to my points. So long as they actually understand what the opinion is.
So
No opinions.
This is why I prefer livejournal/dreamwidth for expressing complex opinions, you can have a conversation and if necessary edit your post (also, friendslock is good for restricting your audience to those who know your personal context). With Tumblr the only way for people to respond is private messages or reblogging for their whole dashboard to see, at which point it can get reblogged and reblogged and you have no control over it any more, and any conversations that do develop quickly become unwieldy. (Note to people who only read me on Tumblr: yes, this is me being relatively unopinionated :D)
