Criticism and censure

I like this board, and I really do not have a problem with being criticized, for using strong language that expresses my anger and upset. However, I do request that if you do not like my style, then just ignore me. Clearly, if you see my name, you will know that you may be reading something highly opinionated and that may contain words like "crap" and "sucks" and even acronyms like "WTF". So, if you don't want to read what I have to say, then don't. I promise to always post under my own name to give you fair warning.

Why do I think I have the right to ask you not to criticize me? Well, you CAN criticize me all you want, but it doesn't seem fair that you are criticizing my style, which amounts to an ad hominim attack. My style of writing, on the other hand, is not an attack on any one person. It is merely a style of writing. Do you see the difference? My writing may be unpleasant to you, but it attacks NO ONE. On the other hand, attacks on me are attacks on a person. Big difference.

I hope this board returns to the open and free place it was when I first started posting. But if not, I will continue to be here because it is helpful nevertheless.
