Of these things we sing - God Bless America!
I am going to make this short and to the point and use few words to cut down on any hurt feelings. (I Hope)
I de-friended folks in an effort to remove myself from controversy in the event that something I said might offend. My only apology will be that I guess I should have posted stating that I was doing this so people would not go BAT SHIT about me doing that. For this I am sorry. (I have found out since that there is a way to only post to a group of 'friends' and not to everyone - which would have avoided the whole sorry mess in the first place.
For the second point - 95% of my posts are public anyway so being my live journal friend does not mean special privilege or status a majority of the time. I do not rely on LJ to tell me who I am special or who my friends are in the first place. I prefer to have my friends at a bar getting totally blotto and talking about how cool it would be if this or that person was there.
Third point - the post Saturday I wrote was just how I felt inside - NOT DIRECTED AT ANYONE OR ANY ORGANIZATION! Geez! I have since made those posts private to myself only. I have been through major organizational changes in all major parts of my life this year and it all just came spilling out - so that is the reason for the post.
I am not mad at anyone - I have not been offended by anything that has been said nor am I going to comment further on what has turned out to be one of the silliest chapters in my 41 years on this Earth.
(This is why I have really stopped posting in LJ - as it has been repeated several times - never post something that you would not want on a billboard in the courthouse square) - I shant forget that lesson in the future.
Anyway - have a happy holiday season and who knows maybe I will post again in like 10 years.
