(no subject)
There is a REASON I don't screen comments, delete comments, or take friends off my friends list. I'm looking for DISCUSSION, not fights, but if you start a fight, I'll be willing to battle it out with you. If you ask me to remove comments that you posted, I will usually more than happily do so. I'm not trying to show one side of the discussion and then delete all arguements on the other side. I'm not trying to stifle freedom of speech. But this fighting back and forth stuff will NOT happen on my journal. If you want a say, then have a say. If you want to protest what I said, take it elsewhere. There's other ways to protest than to throw rocks and I find it absolutely amazing that we--- supposedly intelligent people--- have resorted to just that! Myself included, so don't think I'm trying to get myself out of that one.
One person has removed me from their friend's list today because I posted something on my journal with a friend security. I did this because the comments I was posting belonged on my Xanga and I figured my friends would me mature enough to handle themselves better than my peers on Xanga, and that it might start some sort of discussion. Well, apparently, the comments were handled well by approximately 3 of the people that have read it. It was not handled well by 2 and 1 of those has removed me from their friends list. I must have forgotten the feminist post that I posted on this journal. I'm not going to be "put up with," so to speak. I'm not here for your amusement and I'm not here for your annoyance. I'm trying to start discussion and somehow, it started a flame war between myself and two others. If you have a problem with my thoughts or my ideas, then feel free to post, but post like you are a mature person, please.
From here on out, comments like the ones that were posted on my journal in response to the last post will be handled appropriately. I have IP address logging turned on, so even posting anonymously will give me your IP address.
Thanks goes out to:

Matt, you admitted that my comments probably applied to you, but they really didn't. The last time I talked to you, you were asking me about embedding sound into a website. You have some general knowledge of the workings behind the internet and for that, you are exempt from the ravings of the internet not being understood or admired. Even thinking that they did, you bit your tongue and did not flame. Thank you.
Lenae, I remember your responses to the feminist thing a while back. You were very mature about most of your responses and when I talked to you, you were constructive and open to discussion rather than arguementative and yelling.
Jessica, you just seem to take things in stride most of the time. Everytime something goes on behind your back and you find out about it, you ask one of us before you make any rash action, and a lot of the time, it doesn't turn into rash action, just a friendly quarrel that's resolved with no yelling or fighting. Thank you for being mature as well.
For those of you that bit your tongue rather than flaming me---- thank you as well. It takes a lot more to bite your tongue than to flame and cuss and rant.
That's all I have to say.
