It's difficult to convey certain ideas
when writing in a manner that avoids the pitfalls of a negative
reader reaction. Everyone has their own ideas and convictions, so the
one thing a writer doesn't want to do is alienate readers. Writing is
a form of expression, where the author should feel free to express
personal thoughts and enjoy a positive response from other
like-minded people. Recently, though, the more open a writer is, the
more likely that writer will be to incite those that think
differently. Not long ago, differences of opinion were tolerated and
accepted--this is America, after all--and we not only have free
speech as a protected right, we are a vast amalgam of different
cultures from all over the world. But in today's society, differing
viewpoints have sometimes been met with outright hostility. What is a
writer to do?
