Did you ever vehemently agree with someone's post....
...and then see their subsequent posts on the subject which were so far from your opinion that it made you feel like a maroon for agreeing with them initially?

Hate it when that happens.

:shrug:

1. Agree fearlessly
so what if others think differently than you do. Not going along with everyone elses opinonins makes you*gasp* an INDEPEDANT thinker...!!!
I think we need all the independant thinkers we can get these days.
You Rock on with pride in your different thinking self and don't let the moo crowd and wollyheaded ba--baaa getcha down and get you to back away from your own independant thinking!!

4. You're right
I'd just hate to be thought of as being in lockstep with some of the silly posts I have seen today, you know?

3. thanks FO
Yikes - maybe I hadn't better abbreviate your name!

Do you think it's ever appropriate, after saying: "Oh - you're so right!" to go back and say: "Um - on second thought, you are SO WRONG!"?

6. More than appropriate!
You should revel in any ability to see your mistakes and happily admit them. I always do. To do anything else is prolonging a wrong action or inaction on your own part.

Honestly other than that initial lil "oops I was wrong feeling", I enjoy thoroughly admiting when I was wrong. At least Im still open minded enough to do that... its encouraging!!
