Why do people make controversial statements on Facebook and then get upset when people reply with opposing views?

Asked by JLeslie (65418points) December 18th, 2014 from iPhone

I’ve learned that some Facebook users really don’t want a discussion. They just want to put their opinions out there. I guess they are ok if comments come from those who agree with them, but they don’t want to hear from those who don’t.

I try to remember which ones of my friends hate any opposing opinions on their wall, but this morning I realized I screwed up.

Do you think it is odd to put something online and not expect opposing opinions? Or, do you agree that on Facebook you don’t want people to challenge your ideas. Maybe you think sites like Fluther are for discussion, not Facebook.
