Is it normal that i do this to avoid conflict?
If I say something negative or not particularly all that intelligent on this site and I get replies to those comments, I simply don't look at the messages people give me. That way, I don't know what they said and I don't get my feelings potentially hurt as well as getting into an argument with a fellow IINer. It's just something I started doing recently (Because I don't ever want to have a bad time on is it normal again).
