There are numerous times where one person takes a stand, against, pretty much, an unbelievable majority ... and ultimately gets kicked to the curb for it. Countless people write the person off as "bad person with horrible opinions" and their respected reputation crumbles like a cookie. Only for their future points to possibly affected by that previous grudge. When actually, if you really looked into the overall person, they're good people. It's sad, how one (that's all it takes, just one) disagreement can put someone's entire respect and reputation into flames.
Every day people preach to never give up, fight for what you believe in, and so on. And when someone does, for it to go horribly wrong, the backlash and overall negativity caused from such destroy the person's overall image... yet all along they just took a stand for what they believed in.
Ironic, too, this case could be stamped onto numerous people here at PC. It's to the point where arguments and debates never succeed or lead to compromise, where neither opinion moves. Everything blown out of proportion these days. People get trashed for this. Attacked and taking things far too personal about disagreements when they merely disagree with the topic, not literally the other person.
Other times, "the little guy," the David, takes his stand and it turns out to be something wonderful, praised, and nothing but positives like "hey, you fought for it!" ...yet you rarely, if ever, hear that about the guy that took on Goliath and lost.
If you're still standing, even if you've been practically ripped apart limb from limb, good for you. Regardless of how your points may be in a discussion, debate, argument, whatever... it speaks volumes of a person to fight for what they believe in.
And to the people that drag the person down further when a stand is over, the argument is done. Forum-wise... most likely locked, perhaps banned and simply a thing of the past. When they just continue to bash the person. Move on, please, don't look at a person so narrowly based on one opinion. Take a fresh look at everything each and every time.
That's really all I have to say. And no, I'm not defending the points, I'm defending the character, reputation, and overall person. Have a nice day.
