The Rules

Thank you for being willing to stick your neck out there and say what you feel and see.

On social media, especially sites where voting seems to happen in packs, it's risky to have a counter opinion. Too many people just don't say how they feel if it's counter to the mainstream, and then their voices are completely drowned out.

Perhaps your idea is more mainstream than you know but those who share it don't have a willingness to jump into the fire, leaving those with more extreme positions thinking they have agreement with most when they don't.
