This is a public service announcement, ok? lol
* I encourage you to get both (or all) sides of a story before you draw a conclusion. If you don't, that's your prerogative, but if you will judge me or anyone else before you have all the information, well... that's not cool. So please don't. If not, please move on to the next category.
* If you are on my friend's list anywhere on the internet that I'm an active part of (ie; livejournal and facebook- the only two sites I'm on), I don't feel as though you should be discussing me with people I'm not friends with. Or more clearly... using my personal information against me in the context of a conversation with someone else. Why are you even doing this?
Why would you stay under the pretence of being friends with someone while collecting information on them to use with another group of friends? Is that really what you want to do with your life?
If it is- fine. Whatever. But please remove yourself from my friends list. Because you are most assuredly no friend of mine and the people I keep around are the people I trust. This is a pretty good reason not to trust you, if I may say so. If you think I can't trust you, let's go our separate ways, please. Have some respect for both of us.
* Please do not misquote me. Please do not take my words and twist them to better fit your own martyrdom or agenda or aggression or whatever that is going on there. And don't be a martyr to begin with! Let's live! Jeezus.
But that isn't cool. If I say "I like jelly doughnuts," that does not necessarily mean, "I hate bearclaws and long johns!" Be realistic. Be honest. No melodramatics and histrionics. I'm saying what I'm saying and there is no planet on which my words should mean anything different to you and your friends than what they are or mean to anyone else.
And I mean, I'm fairly confident on my grasp of the English language, too.
* If we are friends and/or if we have a connection to someone I'm not friends with, I don't need to know what's going on on their journal or facebook anymore. I appreciate the support that I've received in all this. I REALLY do. I love every one of you and what you are to me. I just want people to move on with their lives and... me and my curiosity... they get the better. So if someone is saying something about me on their own pages I encourage you to come talk to me about it if you need clarification, but I gotta mooooove on. Just ask me if "____" is true or something in similar fashion. But I'm inexplicably ending any non-amiable relations I have with those people. Help me keep it that way! :D

I think that's all, but maybe I'll have to edit later.
In short: *one side of the story does not give you clear view of the world being round and not flat, *if you're my friend treat me as you'd like to be treated by a friend, *don't twist my words around and try to make people think I'm saying things I most assuredly am not, and *let's try to end some of the negativity going around by debunking myths about each other, but not opening another can of worms in an otherwise ended relationship/situation. I'd just really appreciate all this and I definitely think I'm worth that respect.
Thanks.
