[QUOTE="Belen, post: 9620510, member: 1405"] He cannot control if other people use his words for negative content or control what people think. The people who use his words for their own ends are already spewing that content. If you are reacting to the mob and deciding that their take on his words are his intent, then you’re giving them a lot of power over you. People say things all the time that can be viewed by any lens you use to interpret the comments. No one can live their life in fear by parsing everything they think and say through a filter because they are worried that someone will use them for negative reasons. If you let the negative crowd drive your perceptions, then they get to ride around in your head. I have interacted with mearls for a long time through these boards so I am not going to make assumptions about his intent because a bunch of negativity shock jocks use it to gain views. [/QUOTE]
