Do we love confrontation?
I have to ask.
I'm looking at the blogs and it looks like most of the time normal, everyday posts gets only a few responses, but angry accusatory ones get a bunch of people. Why is that? Tehachapi is full of nice friendly people, but it looks like the friendly blogs don't have nearly as much appeal as the angry or divisive ones. There are even blogs about divisive blogs. I'm not saying this to attack anyone, or to make anyone mad, I really want to know. Is it just human nature? Is it easier to take a side than to reach out in a friendly way over a keyboard? Or is it just more fun to argue then it is to get along? 2 comments from 2 users

May I propose a different point of view on the matter? People who are getting along don't necessarily feel like they need to speak. However, if someone says something that you disagree with, you will be more likely be inclined to say something. Or, I also see it this way: Say I'm at a gathering of people and I am observing a conversation. I would be much more likely to become involved in that conversation if I had a strong opinion on the matter. I'm not being argumentative, merely stating an alternative way to look at or explain the situation. I do agree with you. I think we should definitely up the positivity around here : O) posted by

It's just possible that people spend so much time avoiding confrontation in person that the anonymity offered in this type of a setting gives them a chance to vent in ways they normally wouldn't.
