Some of us are a little rough around the edges. Some of us don't express ourselves in a manner that will be acceptable to all. Some of us cuss and speak sarcasm as a second language. Some of us feel strongly enough about particular people and issues that we don't always parse our comments to avoid the judgment, or delicate sensibilities, of others. None of that diminishes who we may be, or our positions on anything. I'd prefer not to censor myself when expressing my opinions or feelings about things. Actually, to be more succinct, I am not going to censor myself. Some people's perceived notions are their problem, not mine. If my manner of expression bothers anyone, please, by all means, feel free to ignore my comments, or block me entirely. I'm not looking to make enemies of anyone, but, I'm also not here seeking anyone's approval. Like me or don't. That's your choice. Although, if you're going to jump to conclusions about me based on how I express myself, I probably wouldn't have much use for you either. Perception is highly subjective and colored by many factors.
As I am usually a woman of few words, I fuckin' agree.
This is my first time reading what you have wrote and you have the right to do what you want when you want to whom you want however the fuck makes you feel like it is necessary to put facts or statements out there for all to hear and or see!! You do what you do and don't stop for anything or anyone, as an american in america you have that right!! No holds barred!!
I have read many of your comments, and yes you don't hold back. I cuss as a second language. My grandparents cussed. Me and cousins practiced cussing until it was an art form. It was a rite of passage to be able to cuss around the adults. I guess I am saying I don't take it personal.
I'm glad you aren't taking it personally. I certainly don't mean it to be.
If I were trying to make anything personal against anyone, there would be no mistaking it.
I am the softest, weepiest, bleeding-heartiest touchy-feely type you're likely to meet--and I agreed with every word.
I like a diversity of voices and attitudes. Just because I prefer to be incredibly polite and overly cautious about offending people doesn't mean I think everyone needs to--or even should--do the same.
Everybody say what you want. Everybody be a grown-up. Simple.
And WAY more fun that way.
I've never seen you post before or know what this is about but being able to express oneself in writing is an art and this is a very flat medium, not to mention this site has a very, uh , "vintage" set up that's not conducive to helping smooth the way with emoticons etc.
I moderate a couple forums and have had to enlist others who are better spoken than myself LOL because imagine I sound like a blunt angry german chick behind this keyboard. ... and in fact just deleted one of my comments on another thread because it's a soapbox issue for me and the fangs & claws were coming out and am not in the mood for that either,.
Trying to work on diplomacy skills. I've a feeling it's going to be a lifelong journey and perpetual work in progress.
We're ALL works in process. I can relate to the "fangs and claws" comment. There are times when I'll just shut everything completely off to keep myself from a particularly vitriolic rant. I've not seen any of your posts either, but I'm sure you express yourself much better than you think you do. I believe in always striving to do better, but still maintaining who I am at heart. Btw, the diplomacy thing seems to have come to me with age, at least when I'm of a mind to utilize it. You just do you, and you'll be just fine.
you don't have to answer but I do wonder what brought this on
Some posts I've read lately. One in particular, earlier today, totally set me off.
@ScienceBiker Thank you, and backatcha.
(Said in the voice of Dori) I wish I spoke sarcasm
I like everything you have said. Very honest and refreshing.
Thank you for saying that. I do my best not to bs anyone. I've been told that I'm blunt to the point of pain, but my intent isn't to hurt anyone, just to be direct. I believe that life is short, so get to the point.
@KKGator could make it the point to hurt everyone then when you fail... try fucking harder lol
@HeyHiHullo LOL
