You know, high school was bad enough the first time, I’m not sure why anyone would want to go back. But, it seems as if that is exactly what has happened in some circles. Have you seen some of the hate speech running around the internetz (using terms that the exceptionally deranged and moronic will understand here)? And, some of you are running around kissing ass to one particular hate-monger and you guys look like dorks trying to get into the popular clique at school.
Although, I’ll be honest and sincerely hope that this particular hate-monger and myself do not share a readership - although I suspect we do, and that’s fine too. Either way the shared percentage would have to be incredibly tiny since I have heard rumors that a certain blog seems to be dwindling in readership - and if that is the case, then this post might be closing the barn door after the cow has gotten out.
And, quite frankly, I also know that the people who see this for what it is probably don’t air that opinion because it would be doing what I am doing now - bringing more attention to it and some things are really better left in a deep dark hole.
As for others, shame on you for pretending to be adults. I would seriously have thought that the fact that these hate-mongers hide in anonymity would stand out as a glaring red flag! And they don’t maintain anonymity because they are afraid of what friends and family might read (but, OMG, if I were spreading this kind of garbage, I’d be ashamed of myself and want to be anonymous too) but because they are too weak and pathetic to actually stand up for their “beliefs” and back their opinions up.
And, I’m sorry if this comes as a shock to you but saying, “I just call ‘em as I see ‘em” is not, in fact, backing up your opinion. It’s a poor attempt at excusing poor behavior and absolute vile callousness.
People like this hide behind monitors and in caves and things… just pulling strings and causing problems just for the fun of it, and the fact that it has become acceptable socially, or at the very least not publicly disapproved of - says more about the human race than I care to think about.
Take a look around, the people that this hate-monger goes after the hardest are the people who actually put something on the line when they state a thought or opinion because they aren’t anonymous. Right now, anyone with even the slightest initiative could find me. My address, my phone number. No problem. But, at least there is a face, name, and factual information that stands behind every opinion I might have and elect to expose here on my blog with complete honesty and no anonymity.
What I want you people to really focus on - since you are soooo quick to jump sides and glorify the psychotically deranged - read comments that this person has left on OTHER blogs. Don’t just take the crazy rantings from posts. Seriously, m’kay? Show some initiative and inform yourself.
I know that without much effort you’ll find lies, inconsistencies, and outright malicious bullshit. Worse yet, you’ll find weak-minded sheeple running along behind and encouraging, complimenting, and worse yet the saddest comment of all, “I wish I were more like you.”
Dear God, say it ain’t so. Blech.
I don’t know about you, but quite frankly, I for one am completely against a man beating the shit out of his wife regardless of her level of faithfulness, violence is never an answer. But, there are some around here who think that is justified and that it is perfectly acceptable; this, my friends, is what is wrong with society. Well, partly anyway.
And, I don’t know about you, but just because someone has a drink once in a while and is happily (and faithfully married, which OMG is supposed to be a GOOD thing) does not make that person a “gutterslut” but it does make the small-minded person who said that a completely ignorant, dishonest individual with less integrity than a crack whore.
Then of course, I’m also not the kind of person who vilifies a person who elected to refrain from being anonymous and then uses his readership to actually help other people. Yup, I’d definitely label that person a sociopath, right about the same time I would label Habitat for Humanity volunteers as “stupid.” But, why should we be surprised that a hate-monger is more than happy to twist a good action into something nasty and wrong? What I am more surprised by is the (even though they are few) people who went out of their way to agree!
There is so much hatred and negativity in the world, know why that is? People like it, they LOVE it, they whack their monkeys off to it daily. But, it’s my birthday week and I am going to be optimistic… for a moment.
I believe that some of you are well-intentioned and just lack the forethought to actually investigate or REALLY read some of the crap that has been spread around our dear blogosphere. Do it… and you’ll see I’m right. You’ll see evidence of kicking people when they are down, lying, manipulation, causing problems where none existed before, simply starting shit JUST to start shit.
All I know is that each of us has a conscience and a mind, some of us choose to forgo the use of them, obviously, but for those of us who might just be “sleeping on the job” go read a few comments, investigate, and ask some questions. Don’t just blindly offer up accolades to a completely undeserving person. Especially when you can see that nothing beneficial or productive is coming from the callousness and outright nasty things that are being said.
I make it a point not to argue with crazy, at least once I realize how unstable the person I am dealing with is. But I do like to point out how stupid people are for listening to it and worse yet, agreeing. It seems that people will go out of their way to agree with the nastiness but no one wants to get their hands dirty to point out how nasty it actually is.
And, if we want to start tallying up moralistic views here - having a deep-seated/irrational loathing of “infidelity” does not mean you have morals or are a good person. The immoral acts completely outnumber the one, tiny, moral that this person actually has.
But, those of you who disagree are more than welcome to go cuddle up in your afghans and the bliss of ignorance that comes from allowing someone else to think for you and the burning desire to be liked and feel as if you belong to something. All I have to say to you is that your turn in the barrel is coming. Just ask people who would have sworn at one time that they were friends…
As for me, I gotta say, I don’t like posting things like this. I really don’t. Worse yet, it only stands to encourage the nasties from people and one person in particular is going to diddle herself to a bleeding, pulp just from the sheer joy that someone seemingly dedicated a post to her. That’s incredibly crass, but unfortunately true.
The sad thing is - crazy is as crazy does and in “crazy land” there is no such thing as bad publicity. When you look at the hurt that has been caused, the unnecessary attacks, the below the belt hits, the bully-type behavior, by God, someone, somewhere has to stand up and say that this type of behavior is unacceptable and disgusting. I guess since no one else is doing it - I will.
