Don't worry, I'm not calling it quits. As long as I want to write on this blog I will. Plus, this has given me valuable practice for a possible career in the journalism field someday.
However, I'd like to remind every one what this blog is about.
I created Reflections in 2008 because I'm a very opinionated person. I have many people in my family I can attribute that to. The blog was meant to give me a chance to share my thoughts and opinions with you.
Naturally over these five years, a select few people have had a problem with the thoughts and opinions I've published. One local organization even took my very truthful, harmless opinions and treated them almost as personal attacks. After a little back-and-forth and immaturity on their part I've decided that I'll never frequent their establishment again.
This is the most extreme example of a few of these situations over the past several years. The rest have been just general disagreements, etc.

I want to make this very clear: my opinions are just that. Just because I write something on here doesn't mean you have to agree with it. If you disagree that's fine but please do so in a professional, mature manner. Not like what some have opted to do in the past.
I have a First Amendment right to express my opinions as I see fit, without being libelous which I've never been of course. I know full well what constitutes libel and the consequences associated with it so I'd never venture down that avenue.
The best part is you too have the freedom to express your opinions which I will always respect. I just ask that you'd respect mine as well and address your disagreements in a professional manner.
If I lose readers because of this you'll definitely miss out. However, this blog is about opinion and thought and that's what it'll continue to be.

Make sure to come back to check out a new post later today and, as always, thanks for reading!
