[QUOTE="klmno, post: 339816, member: 3699"] I think Loth brings up a good point regarding a thread turning and going in a certain direction. I have noticed that sometimes when one person just expresses an opinion in a non-judgeemental way, sometimes others come along and kind of want to support that opinion, I suppose, but to the original poster, this sometimes comes across like she's being ganged up on and that the one point is being harped on. I'm not sure what the answer is because on the one hand, it can be good to know if several people share that point of view, but on the other hand, if an idea is thrown out there once, it doesn't always seem necessary for others to come along and say the same thing over and over. Think of it like this- if one person suggests to a friend that a specific but different hair style would probably look great on her, it can be helpful to know if others share that opinion. But it isn't very helpful if that becomes one person aafter another saying the same thing in different ways so that it turns into "that hair style would look better than your current one" and then "your hair looks horrible the way it is".
