Act 1: Scene opens. Personality lacking blog enters.

Everyone has an opinion, and unfortunately people are allowed to think whatever they want. It’s just you might not always agree with them or want to hear what they have to say. And after my most recent blog post, a number of family, friends and colleagues all decided to provide their thoughts.
