I don't understand.

I really don't. Semantics? What did I misunderstand?!

I have a feeling that I should have just kept my friggin' mouth closed.

But how can I not speak my truth? I tried not to be rude - but I ... well... I think people are pissed.

You didn't misunderstand. Neither did I. The words were very clear. Extremely clear. And neither of us were rude. . . I walked away from the situation for hours to make sure I was not rude.

I don't care who's pissed. What was said was wrong. Any attempt blame person A for making person B mad, and therefore having it be person A's fault that they were hit, takes the responsibility away from person B, where it lies. That is part of the problem with the entire situation - person B won't take responsibility for their actions.

There was no misunderstanding E. And any defense of the person who made those comments, including the semantics argument, is bullshit. This guy was trying to rationalize his anger and desire to hit his mother by projecting his issues on to something else. He was wrong. I know this to be true, and I know what I'm supposed to do, and I'm going to do it.

*sigh*
Not that my two bits count much....but I wanted you both to know that I love you! I read the blog in question...including the comments that have elicited this entire debaucle. I chose not to comment, because, quite frankly, I have my own issues with abuse (as you know E.), and although my situation is so much different from the current situation, I didn't/don't feel it right to try to lessen someone else's pain by stories of my own!

That being said....you were both right to stand up for your convictions regarding abuse and "the other poster" was, in my opinion, sick-in-the-head (for lack of a better way to put it)!

I hope that this does not cause you both more heartache than you are already experiencing due to the circumstances with our friend. It is sad that this has all come to pass, and has somewhat overshadowed the important issue here...our beloved friend is in trouble and NEEDS us!

So, again, I love you both and I thank you for being the amazing women/friends that you are!

(((hugs you both)))

I didn't think anything either of you said was out of line.

Yeah. What she said.
I kept mum for the same reasons until I am told to speak to the *PERSON* I need to be speaking with and not someone on the perifery (Sp?)
OT a bit: I don't want to see you two hurt anymore. How much longer are you going to hit your head against the wall? I know it's hard and painfull, but I care about you both and I see what this is doing to you.

I miss you all and can't wait to see you all!!

I haven't a clue what this is about, don't know that I want to know.

Just remember that I'm always here for you, online or via cell...you haven't heard my buttery voice in too long...

xoxoxo - c

Dumped is too strong a word, hon.

You never posted, and didn't comment... I tought you'd given up on LJ...

Re: hey stranger ayzian_princess June 29 2007, 16:11:43 UTC

I was trying to be funny, but somehow it didn't come out that way.

I didn't give up, just got very lazy. Shame on me. Had I been more in touch I could have possibly come up to VB to finally meet you! I am sooo sad I missed that opportunity. Looks like you guys had a great time.
