If a person is going to say something that hurts someone else. They have to be able to take what they've given out. If I have gotten hurt by someone else, I have a right to comment on it.

Now, Michael recently posted an entry that upset me, and I posted a comment in his journal. He then requested me not to post in his journal, but to express my hurt in my own. He is sitting here now, I asked him if he wanted me to post it now, and he said to go ahead. This makes no sense, because:

A) He made a reply post saying that he didn't want me airing our "shit" for everyone to see. And people are definately more likely to see this on their friends page than to see a belated comment I posted in a remotely old journal entry that he made.

and

B) I don't see why everyone else has more of a right to post in his journal than his girlfriend does. Whether an entry is for me or about me or completely seperate from my life, I have a right to comment on it if whoever wrote it is on my friends page, and I am on theirs. I assume an entry is for my eyes if no one has shielded me from it. If I'm not meant to read or react to something, don't put it in front of me. Exclude me from your friends page, whatever.

He can't seem to accept the criticism that he gives out. Somehow, it's alright to post something hurtful, but it's not okay for me to react to it. And somehow, first I shouldn't say anything at all, and then it's better if I, at his request, make a post for all to see.

Please, feel free to comment. I am not exclusive about who posts in my journal, or what they post. If you think I'm a bitch, go ahead and say so. I wan't honesty, but yes, I will react. And yes, I can take criticism as well as give.
