Brexit

To ask people not to harass me because of what I voted

I voted Leave. I do not regret it. People have been harassing me because of it, saying stuff like "you shithead you just want to ruin our country" or "how dumb are you, if we leave __ will happen". I don't want this to turn into a leave vs remain debate, and yes i do realise the referendum was more than a week ago. I just want to see if IABU to tell people to stop being mean because of what i voted.

I stupidly voted leave too, and deserve all the negative criticism thrown at me.

You could just keep it to yourself? Lots of people are discrete (in real life) about who they vote for etc
Democracy is a privilege and you have as much right to exercise this as anyone else :)

Can you ask this to go in the Referendum Topic?

Nothing personal, but this has been done to death

If you're sensitive, why tell anyone how you voted?

God thats's a tricky one.

(thinks)

here's an idea ...

why not

(a) not tell people how you voted ?
(b) tell people you didn't vote
(c) lie ?

Good for you.

Maybe if you stop banging on about what you voted, people will stop "harassing" you.

If you want peace from it, why post YET ANOTHER goady thread on AIBU? There's a n EU referendum section you know.

Don't tell anyone then. You can't blame people for having opinions, it is not 'mean'.

I also think you are being inflammatory (and not doing a terribly good job of hiding it with your user name), so.....

Well surely you have logical, well rounded, researched reasons for your vote? Just reply with those.

Stop telling people how you voted would be an easy way to solve this.

How do people know how you voted?

Me and my best friend have just had a catch up. We voted differently. We had a natter about politics, kids, gigs, cinema, and food.

No need to fall out. We voted for what we thought was the best with the knowledge we had.

I do find it ironic that with a username IDoWhatTheFuckILike that you're complaining of people being 'mean' to you. How on earth do people know which way you voted? You must have told them which opens up the conversation to debate. If you vote then you need to have conviction in that vote.
Touch of the GFery about this thread I reckon.

Maybe other people do what the fuck they like too, and if they want to harass goady fuckers they will.

What do want people to do, applaud you?

Avoid the people who are taking out their grief in you until they sort out their stuff.
