You know, I'll be honest and tell you, it was realizing that you went there that made me curious. I know what a nice person you are, so I thought maybe that bit with Becca was just a fluke, and maybe there was some fun thing going on I was missing.
It's not like I don't have some of the thoughts I've seen posted over there -- I'm a human being, and people annoy me and do stupid crap and sometimes even deserve to have things said about them IF THEY'RE TRUE, but the more I considered it (and of course it had to happen to me personally for it to totally sink in), the conclusion that I came to is for the kind of person I want to be, there is no room in my life for that sort of malarkey. But that's just me.
I'm glad it's made you think -- if for no other reason than we should all consider what we take part in, even silently. Your example of not being able to stand up for what's right without getting bashed, and then feeling like crap for not standing up is very telling for me, too. I felt the same way -- even though I hadn't posted at all, to remain silent when I should say something is totally not in my nature. So it's just better for me to remove myself altogether.
