NOTE: This thread is not in a debate forum. It might raise issues that will need to be debated in some other forum, but I”ll just be posting some ideas without trying to prove them, and hoping for others to post theirs.
(edited to add the following)
I won’t object to people posting ideas about how to avoid stirring up.anger and hurt feelings, or how to avoid feeling hurt or angry, but what I’m looking for is ideas about the health value of those feelings.
(end edir)
Sometimes in discussions about harmful online behavior in Internet discussions, there are posts stigmatizing people whose feelings are adversely affected by other people’s posts, and posts advising people to just stop caring what other people say about them. Besides that being easier said than done sometimes, I think that it would actualy be very unhealthy. I think that all our feelings, including anger, jealousy and all other stigmatized feelings, are indispensable for the best possibilities to happen for everyone, and that it’s very unhealthy to stigmatize them and try to repress them or escape from them.
