Has anyone (online) accused you of not having an opinion?

I have over 10,000 posts on a message board where someone is saying I don't share my opinion with posters.

long time no see~! wb

Thanks Alex. I'll check in more often (on and off), but I've gotten involved elsewhere. It's tough to keep track of what's being discussed here versus there.

I thought that was coming. I couldn't seem to obtain 300 posts in a few months here.

No responses and/or comments?

Yeah, I've been accused of not having opinion, though more IRL then online. I think it's because alot of the time I don't share my views because some things are best left unsaid. But that doesn't mean that I don't have an opinion. People generally have some sort of opinion regardless.

I don't get told I don't have an opinion. Rather, every time I try to share something that isn't totally bland and PC, I get crapped on for sharing.

I have been accused of having no opinion...And in that situation it was true...
I don't have much of an opinion on things that don't directly concern me, or the things I care about...

I, however, get known as the opinionated git (that is a direct quote)

I have the opposite problem, my opinions are very blunt and strong.

It really annoys me when people

A) Fence sit
B) Don't share their opinion to keep the peace
C) Don't approve of others sharing their opinion so the peace is kept.

I strive to have my own opinion based on my own choice to believe in that standpoint, but sometimes it doesn't always work out. I'm just as human as everyone else (as in expressing the same opinion as the majority), but at the same time I strive to not follow others just because it's popular, because what is popular isn't always the right thing to do. Of course, my opinion could be affected where and how I grow up, so the my opinions aren't technically my own; I think it's impossible not to have your opinions affected by your culture. But one thing for sure is integrity and openess to others' opinions because people grow up in different places and ways, even if it's not what you believe in; so, that's my opinion on opinions!

I sit somewhere around 50/50 divide between having too strong and blunt of an opinion or end up having a lack of opinion at all. A lot of it to me depends on the subject and whether I have interest in it or does it matter to me?

I've learned to keep most opinions to myself. You know the old saying, opinions are like a-holes...

NTs don't care to know your honest opinion. They don't trust honesty, they only trust feeling. Saying "I feel" instead of "I think" tends to moderate your position somewhat, for NT consumption.

I always have too much opinion. And I am ALWAYS willing to share. Jes' try an' stop me.
