later still...

Well, these issues with this site never end. It's funny how people search for negativity towards them. We've discussed this at length about my RW experience and message boards, but sites like this seem to draw similar attention. An upset reader found him/herself offended by my pages - as my mother had warned about the site, and I have been asked to not discuss this individual anymore. Interestingly enough, no names have been mentioned, so issues of legality are not at stake. Last time I checked, saying something about, "This person I know" wasn't illegal, but I think it were less about legality, and more about a request. Hard to say, the tone was hard to read when the request took place. Don't know if it was threatening or not, but me being me, I was unable to have a full blown confrontation in the flesh, so I resorted to my only comfortable way of dealing with something...writing here. Ahhh.

See, in my theory, this is my webjournal, and if you don't like what I'm writing, then don't read it. It's really easy. It seems rare that I have an entry worth tuning in for anyway. I feel as if it's like someone watching HBO at 8pm everyday, and going to the producers of HBO and asking them to not air anything at that hour that you don't want to see. I'm sorry, don't come here at 8pm everyday then. Strange comparison, not sure if it even works, but you get my point. I was asked to "leave this person out" of my writing. Well, now that I've thought about it a bit...why? I talk about what goes on in my life and if there's a story that's worth writing about, I tend to tell it.

However, when someone kindly asks to be left out of it, do you? I guess it depends. Sure, you can try. It's hard. I mean, this is the fun place to bitch, to get shit out. Hard to avoid it. There are issues of respect going on here. I think I can make a deal on this, a little self rule. I will try to respect the wishes of those who ask to be left out if I am not disrespected myself. If something happens where I'm pissed off and disrespected, then no respect is deserved in return and on you are. I don't name names - I STILL don't see what the big deal is.
