WHO'S NEXT?
My brother in prison is mad at me because I sent him a letter telling him I do not appreciate him calling me a liar. I have to send him another letter that's normal, but I know he's furious because when I asked my mother if he called she said, "Well, um, yes..." in a tiny voice and changed the subject. Oh well.
My ex-husband cptmax is mad at me too. We are having... a TWITTER FIGHT! We have these from time to time. He is a smoking Nazi. I understand his point of view, but he doesn't have to be a dick about it. Please remember, I am not angry at him. Ok, I wasn't until he tried to make it personal because he can't stand to be wrong.
Basically, he made a comment about wanting to scream at a lady for smoking in HER car with HER child. My response was:
"Yelling at people will not compell them to change. Maybe you should find another way or MYOB"
This started a HUGE back and forth twitter storm in which he completely ignored the point I was trying to make which was that smoking is not illegal and therefore she was doing nothing legally wrong even if she was with her child. I am not arguing that it's healthy for the child, only that there are better ways to combat stupidity than screaming at people that you don't know like a crazy person. He was not digging it my POV. Then he tried to turn the argument into a personal attack and align it with something that recently happened to me when the situations are not even REMOTELY close to the same.
This is another reason why I am so glad that he is happily married to Jenny titania1108 . I have to hand it to her. She is patient and kind to him in ways and amounts that I cannot even begin to understand. I just hope my son doesn't learn to think that his way of communicating with people is acceptable or we're gonna have problems.
