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.
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.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
