Wow. 92 comments so far. I do believe i may have broken some sort of record.
Alright well contrary to the general consensus, I am not going to delete my livejournal; I am not even going to delete that post. To tell the truth I am almost proud of myself. Do you realize that you wasted your entire night thinking about someone you hate? Why let me have so much power over your lives? If the entry made you angry, why look at it? Actually as it seems my entire livejournal makes you angry as well, simply ignore it. No one is forcing you to click the link or to type my username into the address bar. I can have no effect on your life if you do not let me. But if you do feel strangely compelled to read it, feel free to post again. I don't really mind, actually. Livejournals would not have a comment option if it were wrong to comment. You are perfectly within your rights to slander my name for all the world to see. I would appreciate it if you would leave my friends out of it, but I do not really have any control over you.
In all honesty i was rather surprised at the active hostility I was receiving. You all struck me as being the more passive-aggressive type. Obviously i am more disliked than I know. Though the actual number of people defending me did outnumber the number of people insulting me. Thank you for that, by the way. I really do appreciate the loyalty/boredom, or whatever it was. I am, however, terribly sorry for anyone who was dragged into this simply for sticking up for a friend. And for those of you who dared insult them simply for doing what is right, that is wrong and you know it. Who is the better person here? You, for having biting comebacks to throw at them? Ah, of course. Your scathing wit is all that matters in this world, isn't it? Why bother to be happy when you can be intellectually superior?
Speaking of which, why am I berated for being happy? I had a good weekend; I wanted to write about it. Is that a crime? Yes, I admit, I should have thought more about certain people's feelings, and I apologize for that. Really, I do. Though said people seem to be taking this far better than those who were much less directly affected. At least they people have not commenced sending me hate mail. Incidentally, I forgot to turn off the email setting for that post. I shudder to think of the state of my inbox. I don't even dare look.
:grins: It just goes to show how happy I am that people I once considered friends spending their night complaining about what a bitch I am cannot even bring me down. Though I will admit, there was a little while when the sheer magnitude of the hatred gave me pause. What I eventually had to realize is that this is the internet. Why on earth should I be upset over some hastily typed words? Why let a few people's electronic opinions of me dictate the way I feel? I'd rather be influenced by real events. Happiness is a choice anyway. After a while it got interesting to watch, because as Evan said, you are all by no means stupid people.
Oh shit. Must go. More later.
