    Well, the bottom line is it doesn't matter if what she said was hurtful or whatever else - she should be able to express her viewpoints on something without someone trying to make her feel bad for it. That's ridiculous. It's kind of immature, in my opinion, to get upset with someone's opinion to the point of them feeling the need to retract it and apologize for it, being that an opinion has no effect on your life or your right to do as you please regardless of their opinion...

    I wouldn't apologize for writing the post to begin with. That's how you view love and I think you actually had some good thoughts about it. Love is subjective, some believe it's an action, some a feeling, some think it's actually a commitment. In two of my college classes, we spent a couple weeks discussing love. I wouldn't mind going in depth with you if you'd like. :) I was actually going to comment yesterday about it, but I sort of forgot about it. Facepalm

    (Also I don't remember exactly what I said on your last post so if I sounded rude or overly critical I apologize.)

    @ pet sounds
    No one was freaking out or rude about it. Just a couple people pointed out that some of what was said was unfair, and there was one person (that I saw) that pointed out that one comment was hurtful to her due to her own past relationship experience. It's not a matter of people "not being able to handle" an opinion they don't agree with; as far as I saw, conversation was pretty polite.

    That said, even as one of the people who commented on your last post, I do feel you're being a bit hard on yourself with this one. I think what you were saying came from a good place and I've made similar posts in the past, but with time you realize that those posts just aren't particularly helpful because the people you feel need to hear them won't really be changed by it. Over the last couple years I've learned that it's really best to respect how someone feels, even if you think they're being naive, because to them it's really real in that moment, y'know? But as far as I saw, you didn't cross any major boundaries and you certainly weren't intending to be harmful.

    Always good to keep an open mind, though. =)

    I don't know what that blog said, but you shouldn't apologize. People should be able to handle hearing things that they don't necessarily agree with or that don't necessarily make them happy.
