To me, self-expression is a big part of what blogging is about. Blogging about books, pets, self, or whatever is fine and it gives us a peek into that blogger's life, but often we are left with just something kind of hollow or self-indulgent. Engaging others to exchange ideas about our opinions versus theirs can be daring and risky in some ways, but honesty and openness to me is a good thing. Getting to know the deeper feelings and philosophies can involve a lot of growth on both sides.<br /><br />AS long as you are honest, respectful, and open in what you present I don't see any problem with bringing controversy to your blog. If you're cussing, ranting, railing, and being insulting to others then that I think is a problem unless that's part of your schtick. But when the blogger is willing to discuss, engage in diplomatic debate, and offer genuine self-revelation of inner thoughts then I'm willing to encourage that and become part of that discussion.<br /><br />In my opinion, it's not what you say on your blog, but how you say it. You're doing fine as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452907821353988622.post-62448616011247476332017-04-10T08:02:36.842-05:002017-04-10T08:02:36.842-05:00Your blog, your Facebook page, your Twitter accoun...Your blog, your Facebook page, your Twitter account, are all your domain. You should feel confident to say whatever you like. People seem not to be able to read something and walk away should they not agree with it - everything has to be argued :-(Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452907821353988622.post-34325832912363086552017-04-10T06:44:36.851-05:002017-04-10T06:44:36.851-05:00I think you should say what you want.
