Can you disagree with someone without worrying about hurting their feelings?
Can you say what you feel, even if it is different from one or many and have it not come across as "mean"?
Is it possible to have a real debate without that debate getting personal, especially when you are talking about opinion?

I ask these questions because I REALLY want to know your thoughts. Often times we have campfires here on ADF where someone posts a fic that they are angry about or they post that someone looks good or bad and others come out and disagree. All too often these disagreements can seem personal, but in a way, a disagreement on your opinion IS personal. To you, is that okay?
I OFTEN don't agree with people's tastes in fanfiction. I like different ships, not loads of sex scenes and I hate wordy chapters. But that is my opinion. Should I be able to share it without the camper who posted getting upset?
I think Robert Pattinson can look awesome in some pictures but look terrible in others, often in direct opposition to others feelings. Is that okay?
If I didn't like Breaking Dawn or I didn't like the Remember Me Script or I don't ship Rob/Kristen, is that okay?

This is a campfire for your philosophy on voicing opinions. I have been thinking about this all day. I am not taking sides, but I would like some serious opinions. I have a feeling if we are honest, we will find that there is a broad spectrum of sensitivities, right or wrong.
