*hugs* I know the type of people. But do remember it's almost Arbor day, that's when we kill those that enrage us and bury them under trees right? :p wait, I think I may have gotten some wires crossed.
<3 I value your opinion. Never let anyone censor you.
I am not sure you would even want to, but if you'd like to chat on Yahoo I'm available. But the short version, I guess, is that I didn't want this to be the day of Sam The Asshole for you. I still care about you deeply. If I could go back in time and undo what I did a year ago, I would've done it many times. I'm sorry someone added insult to injury.
This isn't about you, Sam. I've had issues with VDay for years. Sure, last year didn't help any. But, really, it was just icing on a cake that had long before been baked and cooled on a rack.
My reaction here is due to someone I considered a friend. Now I have to wonder just what kind of "friend" demands that everyone think the way they do or "shut the fuck up"?
I just figured out who this was, and my gut tells me that this was not a shot fired directly at you, but a submachinegun blast against a buncha similar posts. I got a feeling this person would be MORTIFIED to know you got hit with the spray. I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt it.
Even though I kinda like this day, I will savagely beat up anyone who berates you rudely for voicing your feelings in your own journal.
I don't know if I'm one of those who happy, fluffy posts who annoy you, but I value you beyond reason and enjoy reading your posts. I feel honored that you trust me to read and see your ideas. Although I know mean people exist, I still have trouble accepting crass, rude behavior on the internet. (No, I am not talking about Peeg, but directing this to the *&^%!@# who told Bev something so rude.)
To be fair to the person in question, as Sam said above, I believe it was just a general STFU rant. However, I *do* take it personally, as I was one of the ones that posted that they hated this holiday.
I'm honestly surprised and disappointed that you're taking this so personally. I was speaking of those who try to ruin this holiday for others. Who make a big deal and try to get a lot of attention in an attempt to belittle the day.
I was referring to an event that occured in REAL life, by the way. Not on some blogging site. This has nothing to do with journals, but with dumbass college students who feel the need to be obnoxious and put down those of us who enjoy celebrating this day.
I really wouldn't have expected you to jump to such a conclusion without at least attempting to clarify my intent or express your offense in a mature manner. I really, really am sorry that you felt the need to make this personal, when I did not intend it for you and people like you, who simply do not like the holiday yet feel no need to bring others down.
The fact that you think I am so insensitive if offensive to me. I am extremely hurt by this.
Your actual post didn't leave the wiggle room you're trying to wiggle with. Your comments to me and others closed that wiggle room even further. Now you're wiggling.
When you write tough, don't turn into a pansy when the backlash hits you. You didn't intend to be diplomatic, and you weren't. Now YOU are trying to come off that YOUR feelings are hurt?
I knew what I did could be irreversible. I'm paying for my damn mistake. That's real life. And here's a real life consequence: I lost respect for you today.
Either own up to it, but don't even try to come off as the offended one. You intended to offend those who fit the criteria. You said so. You posted it in your journal to be seen by anyone who fit the criteria. So, therefore, if Bev fit the criteria, you meant to hit her.
You're gifted, but not so clever as to pull the wool over Sly's eyes.
You're right. I should have asked you before flying off the handle. In my defense, this is notoriously a bad day for me. I don't begrudge others celebrating it, and would never deliberately try to be a downer to anyone about it. But, the way your post was worded, it sounded as if you were talking about *anyone* who hates the day, good reasons or not. There was no specifying of a real life situation that set you off.
~sigh~ It comes down to assumptions, and you know what they say about assuming.

No choosing sides. I would never, EVER ask that of anyone. Nor do I want it done in some misplaced sense of defending my "honor".
