Oh boy. Another vent post! Haven't had one since my
Facebook post!
Some of you will
not like this post. Some of you may not follow me anymore, some of you may comment, some won't comment, some will read it and say nothing, some will agree and some won't agree. The point is we are
ALL entitled to our opinion, right? Right.
Not every post is going to be about fashion, stars, glitz and glam. Some of us do post about real life, questions, problems issues. Whatever they may be. I don't have my blog to post about superficial things 24/7 although I do post about those things (stars and movies and what not often because it is fun! )
As I wrote about on a previous post about Facebook, An
opinion is an opinion. Not everyone is going to agree with you. That's life. Expect people to differ.
Recently I was following a blog, that I would comment on from time to time. I am no longer following this blog, nor is this blogger following me. We had some "words" so to speak. Sad for the blog world right? I think so. I tried to make it "right" but this blogger wasn't having it. Way to defensive. I am going to go with the fact that I am 5 years older than this blogger and our levels of maturity are just on different pages when it comes to verbal "internet" comments and not taking them so personal! JEEISH!
This fellow blogger we shall call her Miss "X" out of respect that I am not going to call names out or anything disrespectful to her. Miss X had recently posted about moving into a new home, with her man, and then experiencing a lot of living together issues and "not being happy" crying a lot type problems. That is all I can say without saying to much. About 20 of the commenters told her "this is normal" to have problems blah blah.... etc etc... I was the only one to comment on the "flip side" of it and say that I didn't agree. To be VERY HONEST I am THAT GIRL that doesn't sugar coat anything to anyone. This means when you don't write what people want to hear/read, they take offense to it. Dislike. You should always want to read what others have to say esp if they don't agree with you!!!!
In another post, Miss "X" posted about her thoughts on adopting a dog. Now mind you, being the BIG animal guru that I am, ( yes, I take great pride that i know a lot about animals. I used to show my dog growing up in dog shows THIS MAKES ME KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!! you have to know EVERYTHING about your breed!!!) anywho...
I naturally asked/wrote/inquired on her wall (since this isn't FB and I couldn't just send her a mesg) if that was such a good idea since that maybe she was feeling like she needed to fill the void since her man moved out for the time being? People do this!!! I know They do. I see it hear it all the time. People buy things to fill the void. I wasn't saying she was doing that, just asking if that was what she really wanted...since we pet owners know owning dogs is VERY EXPENSIVE. Well some newbie blogger commented under my comment basically telling me to screw off on this girl's page! What the?
Who does that? Seriously.
Enter blogger etiquette. first Miss X-- Why would she let someone else write a nasty comment right back under mine on her wall? If my comment was all that bothersome or mean, why did she leave it up? hello you are the blog administrator this means you are the person in control of that almighty delete button! argh!
If you don't want people to comment or ask questions about your life and your posts and what not THEN DONT BLOG about it. Pretty simple right? ha. Not so much for others I suppose. Somehow Miss "X" wrote me a novel email basically thinking I was being negative towards her. Are you kidding? Wow
because I didn't comment all happy go lucky comments like the rest of the world, and I brought up the "Other side" of the grass not being so green that makes me the bad girl? Nice.
This is the internet for you. Harsh mean words totally misconstrued.
Read for yourself. Now by me posting this picture some of you may feel I am airing way more dirty laundry than needed. Note. This is my page. These are my feelings. Now I am the one taking offense. So therefore, again, if you don't like it, don't comment, don't follow. I am just a girl trying to stand up for what is my stance on a few things she wrote about. I know some of you that read what I post, did comment on her wall, so I do apologize if I got part of your comments on her wall in my post, and please for the sake of not naming names don't use the person's name if you do happen to comment on my post!
I check back after I have commented on a post, just to see if others wrote anything. Not to mention many people that comment you can't write back to bec of the no reply thing..(meaning they didn't ever list their email on their profile info) So this is how I know some girl told me to screw off on Miss "X" page. Ugh.... really.
But for me, it wasn't even a big deal till Miss "X" emailed me basically saying she didn't like hearing me say that "my relationship was perfect" blah blah..... Time out. Really? So what she is saying is she hates me because I don't have problems in my relationship. Wow. Nice. I may not be making 60,000 grand as clearly this youngin fresh out of school gal does, who has the doe to own her own home (kudos) I have never blogged about being poor or how little teachers make......but thats OKAY with me. I don't do what I do to be rich. Anyone who is a teacher knows we don't do it for the money. I may not be rich in the bank, but I AM rich in LOVE. And I take great pride in the fact that I can say that, and if others hate on me bec I have something they don't, the so be it. most everyone has the $$$ and I don't and it doesn't bother me. You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit! words we teachers tell kids. :)
Thoughts? If any, leave some :)
