What is ControversiaList?

Controversialist

                        Taboo
          “A ban or an inhibition resulting from social custom or emotional aversion; (Sociology) forbidden or disapproved of; placed under a social prohibition or ban: taboo words

Positive
          “1.Characterized by or displaying certainty, acceptance, or affirmation. 2. Measured or moving forward or in a direction of increase or progress. 3. Explicitly or openly expressed or laid down.”

Polemic
            “1. A controversial argument, especially one refuting or attacking a specific opinion or doctrine. 2. A person engaged in or inclined to controversy, argument, or refutation.”


REFORM



Every week ControversiaList will take on a taboo topic, a polarizing issue, the crap, dirt and hypocrisy that, frankly, irks my nerves so much so I can no longer withhold my thoughts. Like a pressure cooker boiling up, out, and over, these words are the explosion into a realm of pure, unfettered transparency.

Do not get it twisted, do not mistake: the topics engaged and the commentary provided are not thoughtless tirades. 

I’m not looking to contribute more noise to a swelling cacophony.

I write for the sake of candor, progress, knowledge, NEED—not shock value.

Embrace your voice and share it keeping in mind that this blog does not promote or support hate speech, nasty four-letter-words and expletives or threats and bullying.

Humbly Pressing On,

Alex
