Or, how I'm being a dick to people because I don't
Published on November 18, 2004 By Death_By_Beebles In Misc
In response to some comments made by one of the AC Crew, and I'm not going to mention names, but her's starts with "c" and ends with "arebear07"

I'm not actually yelling at anyone. But, as you know, things have a way of getting misunderstood, and since no one cares whether they take it the way I meant it or not, I'm just going to say my piece and be done with it.

I know I'm not perfect. You don't have to bring that up you know. And if I say something, it's because that is what I was thinking.

Does the truth hurt? Because it can sting, sometimes, but for me, it's better to say, "You know, I think you are being a (Insert descriptive adjective here)" instead of lying about it, or pretending it didn't exist.

Does this give me a big head? Am I egotistical because I speak my mind? I don't think so. I think I'm being fair; fair to you, and fair to me. I tell you what I feel, and you know what I think is wrong. Is this worse than telling you what you did is right?

Tell me: What is worse? You inciting anger, pain, and anguish? Or me telling you that you are a bitch for doing it?

Quote carebear07: And some guys *cough*alex*cough* don't understand how girls feel. And I get so fed up with it at times, that all I know to do is cry.

Don't give me this crap about how I "don't understand your feelings because you are a girl." That's bullshit and you know it. And, I don't want you to try and tug at my heartstrings. It doesn't work. Crying isn't going to get you anywhere. Do you want me to understand? Then understand ME! Understand why I DO what I DO. Understanding isn't one-sided.

Quote carebear07 "Alex........once again you ruined my blog!"

I did what I did because it was a necissary end to an unnecissary beginning. And how can I ruin your blog? Did Tex ruin your blog when she accused you of the same thing that I did? No, she didn't. You wouldn't dare say something like that to Tex, because you need her points to get you closer and closer to that spot you're looking for. Because she's your "Friend". So does that make me not your friend when I criticize you? Does my criticism make me not care about you as a friend, does it make me any less of a person?

Quote Texas Wahine "Ashley, sweetie, you know I like you, but this is blatant points-whoring. You have hashed out what you think about homosexuality with JU again and again. I just checked my gmail account and found an email asking me, and eight other JUers, to read this article because you "think we will enjoy it." It seems to me that you would like to see a battle rage on your blog so that you can rake in the points; it doesn't seem that you are interested in any sort of meaningful discussion. If I wrong about this, please correct me, but this is very much the way it looks to me. "

You didn't rip her... and you talk about equality! You make me laugh. I'm equally amused and disgusted.


Quote Email, received Wednesday, November 17, 2004 10:10 PM : Hey all you Joeusers! Please go to http://carebear07.joeuser.com/articleComments.asp?AID=35283 I think you guys will enjoy this article!

*Ashley*

I'm saying this now. I don't have to write an email out to get people to respond. I'm not trying to "get points". I do this for ME. Damn it, I blog for myself, not for you, not for anyone other than me! YOU are the true hypocrite, YOU are the egotist, and YOU are the one that needs to fix it.

No more of this. I'm through. And, I'm going a step further. I'm boycotting your blog. I'm not going to reply to anything you say untill you apologize.

Stop creating drama... I don't want it, don't need it, don't have any use for it whatsoever. Cry all you want. I'll talk to you again when you start treating me like a friend.

Well, now I'm all worked up over nothing. I'm going to bed.

Alex

Since I am mentioned in this post, I guess I should probably respond.

Quote carebear07 "Alex........once again you ruined my blog!"


Obviously, I came first with my comment, so if anyone "ruined" the blog, it was me. However, carebear, you always have the option of deleting a post that you don't like. You could have deleted mine and Beebles' comments if you had wished.

I posted my comment because I was being honest with you. I was very surprised by your post, and even more surprised to receive an email encouraging me to check out an obviously inflammatory article. Honesty hurts sometimes, and I'm sorry that it does, but that cannot be helped.

Another thing is, I feel that when you choose to write about "adult" topics (meaning things of great consequence or things that are in the realm of adulthood), you open yourself up to adult level comments and criticisms. You cannot cry teenager when you find yourself out of your depth or being harshly criticized. This happened once before with your political blog, and I let it go and did not force you to back up your claims. Free pass on that one. However, when you write an "adult' blog, you must defend your position in an adult manner (using facts, research, logic). It is good for you to do this because it helps you sort out your view points and forces you to examine them and reevaluate whether they are valid or if they need tweaking.

However, the impression that I got from your post, and have gotten from many other posts on homosexuality, is that you were hoping to bring a large group of bloggers in to duke it out and bring in a large amount of points. If I was wrong about that, please forgive me.

Additionally, I'm not the boss of you. Just because that's what I think, and even if it is the case, it doesn't mean you have to change what you're doing. You most certainly do not have to listen to me. I hope that you will, and that I'm not wasting my time when I comment on your blogs, but there's nothing saying that you have to.

I like you a lot carebear. I think you are a beautiful human being and very talented, but I could not let that blog go without a comment. I do not wish to hurt you, but friendships require honesty, and sometimes it's unpleasant. You have no idea how many times I've received my own comeuppance. It's a good opportunity to learn and grow. I look forward to your reply.

Sarah and Alan, your replies were not necissary, or wanted.

I'm not arguing on the internet.

Alex ,
Does the truth hurt?

No the truth doesn't hurt. I like when a person like you or anybody else tells me the truth and not a lie to make me not I don't get mad.. But why should you get mad at somebody tellin you the truth you should be glad.. I would be mad if you lied to me rather than tellin the truth..

Quote carebear07: And some guys *cough*alex*cough* don't understand how girls feel. And I get so fed up with it at times, that all I know to do is cry.


all I know to do is cry

This is really gettin annoying... Crying is all you know to do to get a attention. Iam sorry but it is true.. You read a sad article that BRANDON wrote and you say this so don't say you don't either ash it is true suck it up... Brandon why did you write that article or article it made me cry.. Or Alex what you said hurt my feelings and made me cry... GET OVER IT>>>>CRYING CONSTANTLY IS FOR BABIES NOT YOU>>>> UNLESS YOU R A BABY>>>>

anyways... Alex I fully support your choice... AND ASH DON'T SAY THAT I DID THIS B>C> I LIKE HIS BROTHER >>>it isn't true this is what I believe in...It has nothing to do with christian and not for ash tooo but for the rest of you...

I don't care about the points either. I write to get things off my mind and that is why most of the time nothin makes since... Sorry...

anyways...
I'm boycotting your blog


Nice article and I will boycott with yeah...
Thanks for taken the first step Alex... Maybe you should just boycott.. But I support you doin that too....

Do you honeslty think that my "battle" with ashley to get the most points is why I keep on writing what I do? Dude, I started this more than a year before any of you got here so that couldn't possibly be reason for writing. I write because I love getting to let out some of what's on my mind. It's just too bad that most of what's on my mind seems kinda odd or sad.

But when you say that you are boycotting her articles I think that was a very nice move on your part. You let her know how you feel and how she could fix it. Now it's up to her to decide what to do with your offer. Just tell me if you think I'm a point w---e, ok? I sometimes feel like one but I'm not sure if you'd consider me to be one. I like the points but it's not the focus of my writing. They have no meaning.

Very nice, honest article too. Keep up the good work dude!

~realizes she has stumbled into 'teen chat' and backs away slowly.....~


Very nice little_whip. You made me laugh.

alex, i'm sorry that don't think mine and alan's comments were necessary. actually i don't really care because i'm entitled to my own opinion. oh i'm sorry it doesn't matter if doesn't match yours.


And I'm sorry that you aren't allowed to post comments on my blog any more. Take a time out, and we'll see if you can be more humane at a later date.

Oh, and I deleted your last post too.

Do you honestly think that my "battle" with ashley to get the most points is why I keep on writing what I do?


No, man not at all. This is directed at Ashley only. She's the one whoring for points. You do what you do because you like to do it, and that's cool with me. The battle is actually one sided, she just wants to try and get a higher "rank" than you do.

If you say that I'm not being a friend then do you think what you're doing is making you one? I never said that you weren't my freind Alex. And I'm sorry if I can get emotional about things and cry. I'm just that kind of person, it's not like I can really help it. You know.....I think I'm through with all of this. Right now I don't know if i should apologize or not. Because from my view point you owe me an apology as well.

Oh, and Brandon....why did you tell me not to read this if it would only hurt me more, if your just going to agree with him?
on Nov 22, 2004
I'm truly sorry that you feel this way about all of this. I told you not to read it because I knew you wouldn't like reading what everybody said. I meant what I said when I said he made the right choice. Alex is trying to keep this at a minimal level of chaos and all you're doing is getting mad and pointing the figure irrationally.

Agreeing with Alex is, IMO, the right thing to do because he's right. Sometimes you have to come up and be a big girl. You said you can take care of yourself, but then once something doesn't go the way you want it you cry about it. Maybe you just don't realize that you do that, but that's how I see it and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Alex~ alright, just making sure that this wasn't directed to yours truly too.

Ashley~ please just take a few deep breathes, calm down, and come back to reply on this article when you think you can (maturely) do so.

Okay alex i'm sorry. I am more humane now, pinky promise. yeah i just got wrapped up in being a drama queen....again. i talked to andrew, and realized i was being a brat and needed to talk to you. Hope you can forgive me.
on Nov 23, 2004
I'm sure if you guys know this....but Alex and I are fine now. I have a feeling though the only reason Sarah is feeling better and peachy about things now are for one reason.

~carebear~
on Nov 23, 2004
yeah they are. and i'm not afraid to admit that either. but i do understand that i was acting stupid alex.
on Nov 23, 2004
Ok, Sarah, I forgive you. I don't think I need to say that your posting has been re-activated.

I'm glad things are back to simi-normalcy.

Peace,

Beebes

Semis are cool and normalcies are cool, but semi-normalcy is just pushing it dude.
