My ever so controversial posts


After mulling through my Facebook posts, I have found an equal balance of positive and negative status updates. However, few are actually positive or negative, as the majority of these posts are neutral in my opinion. These posts do tend to have a controversial nature due to my beliefs. Friends and family constantly point out this controversy to me, showing how they view my postings as negative in nature. I do expect responses to my postings; however, I do not expect responses due to the controversial nature of the posts, but rather because the posts are thought provoking or require an answer due to the post being directly inquisitive. The responses I’m looking for when in search of a response are responses that are full-bodied, thoughtful, and most importantly: grammatically correct. After all, your page is represented partially by those who comment on your posts. In the instance that someone utterly makes a fool of themselves on my page, I will delete their comment, as I do not want to be represented by individuals who are grammatically careless. From this, it is evident that I use my profile to express myself in whichever ways I see fit in terms of status updates, photos, and the “about me” section. Some people strongly dislike the way I express myself online, but I simply remind them that my page is a reflection of myself, and if they dislike that, they can simply remove me. This way they are not offended and I do not have negative comments being posted on my page, as negativity is contagious, and this world does not need any more negative people.

  1. I would explain in more detail what a "neutral post" from you looks like to help the reader understand. Clear points in the second half of the post and once again a very clear opinion.

  2. This post is a very strong point. You clearly state what you post and what you hope to get in responses. I like the examples, but they could be a little more specific to the situations.
