Making Something Out Of Nothing
It upsets me when someone makes something out of nothing. Especially when the way it was worded there is no way that it could be taken as attacking someone or a group of people. And they know what type of a person the individual is and know them enough to know that they don't say stuff like that esp. when around anyone that might take offense if they were to speak that way which they dont but ya.
What also bothers me is when someone involves other people (family, friends, strangers, etc). Instead of talking to the individual or emailing or instant msg'ing them about it and solving the issue peacefully they make a big deal about it and want to start something. What gets me even more is when the individual's people send emails, IMs or call the person who posted something and in the msg they start spewing low blows and talking crap and bringing up the posters health issues, family issues and other stuff and hardly mention if at all the issue that started everything.
We are all grown-ups/adults or should I say you are all grown-ups/adults. Start ACTING like grown ups/adults. Stop with the high school drama and wanting to start shit and gaining up on someone and being a bully.
If you took offense to something or someone you know did and you are defending that person just email the person who made the comment. And say something like "your words offended or hurt me or my friends and I wish you had not have spoken those words. The words have many meanings. And I know you didnt mean them in a negative way but I wish you wouldnt use them. Just letting you know." And if friends were sticking up for the poster and something they said offended one then one should have emailed that person and not attacked the poster whose original comment offended you. Or said something like "what your friends said really offened me or my friends. I wish that your friend would not say such things. I know they are just sticking up for you or whatever but ya."
Sorry all had to vent. Thanks for letting me do so.
