To those who have online blogs
We all love to share our thoughts on different topics. Politics, religion, art - whatever it is.
But let us suppose that there is a certain burning issue, a highly disputable one, which you'd like to disclose on your private blog. You've got something to say - that happens to you sometimes.
But again, let us assume that there is one or several very close friends of yours, who's got perfectly opposite view on a theme you'd like to talk about.
You're quite certain that if you reveal your opinion - those friends of yours would not only be objecting to, but would be offended as well. To be more precise - they might even get wound in their deepest affections. A simple discussion of such themes may also lead to a quarrel. Unfortunately, such themes do exist and we all know that.
So, my question is: can all mentioned above be a sufficient reason to leave your thoughts to yourself? And, in case if you do so, don't you think that you are capable of taking your friends as they are, and they are not?
And don't you think that, under these circumstances, it is you who's got the right to take offence?

You had great correctors so I just show you the page. Space it out. White is better.

Hi Elena. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Remember what you write in a blog will be on the internet forever. As time goes on, people often change their views. Regarding posts on italki, If you click onto the yellow flag next to a notebook entry, answer, question etc, the italki code of conduct is quite clear. It is good that you have raised this issue. I wish you well.

Well, that was a tough question, Elena. I can't answer your questions easily, you know. You may think I'm not telling the truth, but I do think all my friends and relatives, my beloved ones, we all think the same about what really matters, about our morals and all that stuff, about our pillars, our basics. And I'm talking about the most basic of them, you know, about things like peace, or understanding, or respect for others. We can of course disagree, discuss and even argue about whatever...about what should we do, about the global economy, about global warming, about terrorism, about marriage, love, children,...whatever...insert here whatever you want. But when it comes to it, we all know we stick to the same things, you know. No one's going to lose me as a friend if he/she thinks Lady Gaga is a great artist (even when I am like "what!?"); they're going to lose me as a friend if they say something like "I hate women" or "people from whatever country are shit". Those sort of things. And none of my friends or relatives, none of the people I really care about thinks that way.
