To My New Friend

Today someone left a very brutal note in my comments on a post from a few days ago. Whoever they are, I feel it's important for them to know that their opinion of me makes no difference. I know who I've been and I know who I am, and if you are holding on to who I have been, then you haven't been around lately. You obviously haven't spoken to me in several months, whoever you are, which leaves about three suspects, by the way.

Whoever you are, I wonder why you still read my blog if you have such a low opinion of me. Why are you so bitterly angry at me? Why live with that ugliness hanging around your neck? Accept who I am, or leave me be. I promise to grant you the same respect.

Most importantly, one of the most valuable lessons I learned this past year was to take responsibility for my actions. I did what I did. Nobody did it for me, they were my choices, and I regret many of them. But you, Mr or Mrs "It-Doesn't-Matter" would rather hide behind a pseudonym and throw stones anonymously. If you've got a problem with me, man-up and say something in your own name. That's how we adults handle things.

COMMENTS:

Dear "It Doesn't Matter"
First of all, it obviously does matter since you took the time out of your very early morning to say something about how you feel. Second, it is disrespectful to comment like that on someone's writing without identifying yourself. If you want to share your feelings about him with him, have the respect to let him know who you are so you two can have a discussion about it. Third, most of what you said is horse shit. Yes he made a very large mistake, but he has not done it again, so what is this "over and over and over" crap? The post that he made also pretty much proves he has thought about what he did from others' points of view. I have told him that there is probably no way for him to completely see it from where I stood, but at least he is trying.
I am the person that he hurt the most with what happened. Yes there was another girl involved and I'm not forgetting that, but that other girl had a large part in putting herself in the situation, so I have very little pity for someone who sat in bullshit willingly for four months before buying a clue. If I can at this point defend him, then everyone else needs to get a life. I think I know who made the other comment, and if I am right, then you do have a right to be angry at him for what he did to you. But instead of just talking about all this stuff where you learn from everything you go through and moving on with your life, why don't you actually do it?
However, if I am wrong and the person that I think wrote this did not, then anyone else needs to mind their own damn business. Although I do not think the comment posted was a good thing to do, I can only think of one person who comes anywhere close to having the right to do it. If it was not that person, then everyone else shut up. The situation that was written about had absolutely nothing to do with you, yet you choose to put yourself in the middle of it. Why? It was a horrible situation, why would you want to be involved? Forget about it, and move on. You had nothing to do with and never will.

Oh, and here's something REALLY important to consider: I just noticed I didn't give any specific time-frame for when the events took place. I only said "earlier this year."
These are NOT new events. The few people who I think might have written those scathing comments should know that the events described in the post in question came to a conclusion around nine months ago at this point.
I say this because if they thought this was all brand new, then maybe that is where they saw it as an "over and over and over" thing.
Just a thought.

Joey, you'll never have a more avid reader than one who loathes you and uses your own words to fuel their petty fire of internet passive aggression. Once I blocked my boy's ex from reading my blog, I came to realize she was pretty much the only one who did....
Also, I really appreciate Kim's mature reactions to this online nonsensery - it adds a hilarious perspective to whole thing.

This is a reposting of the original in order to delete the original and dump the comments from it. A final comment that would appear right about here was omitted. I have long since made it clear to the poster of said omitted comment that their presence is not welcome here, and that continues to be true.
