Hating on the Hawaii Tribune-Herald

[Carolann R]

I don't believe that expressing a feeling of disgust at the ugliness originally posted was inappropriate. People will use their rights to free speech to enlighten as well as spit venom.

It's been my experience that hate often comes from a base of fear. Oftentimes people are fearful of things they know nothing about. They are fearful they will not get what they want or that they will lose something they feel they own. In any arena such as this forum, the value of the open opinions is far-reaching. It teaches us about that which we need to know, and each of us in turn share our collective wisdom.

I was not disgusted at glennoid, but rather the malignant, hateful way in which people express themselves which carries no value to others. I certainly don't pretend that hate doesn't exist. I'm not that GOOD. LOL! I choose to look toward the light because I feel healthier and happier for it. I know myself well enough to know that it's hard for me to shake that ugliness if I participate.

So, I guess a FEW of those comments woulda done me just fine to get the picture. Just hard to take a swim in that stuff LOL!!

(Besides, I'll just email Mella and vent at her! ROFLOL!!!)
