Imagine if You Will
Imagine someone with more opinions than pores wrote an inane and easily ignored blog post.
Imagine other people decided they must respond to this post by hoping to personally attack the writer.
Imagine one person was so incensed that he created 6 accounts to write things, comments on the writes, and game the system to force these into Spotlight.
Now imagine you were one of the people cheering him on.
I am embarrassed for you.
But I forgive you and have a simple piece of advice.
If you do not like what I write, ignore it. I write my opinion, you write yours, welcome to life.
But, as I had mentioned previously, I'm done being nice in my responses. While I welcome people to challenge my statements and demand I provide proof for any statement of fact, tripping into personal judgments or insults will prompt me to respond with the same.
And since I already will know you take what I say seriously, you are responding to my ramblings after all, I promise I will upset and anger you and I will do so gleefully and without remorse no matter the consequences.
If recent events have taught me anything, it's that I've been too lenient. Better to blow these things up immediately rather than letting them fester like this issue did and turn into a colossal waste of effort for most people. Not for me, of course, this kind of thing is a hobby.
