Oooh, other people like fucking penguins too! I must be normal! ;-)

I rarely read that board, because it pisses me off more often than not. I'd prefer not to be pissed off.

By the way, you were delightful on the phone! I loves me some you. :)

I belonged to the community for about a day, then I realized it really wasn't what I wanted to be about. I'm totally with you, Vince.

Whoa...Demo - it wasn't me. I haven't posted to that thread.

Actually, I know who it was - and yes, it does sort of sound like me, except that I rarely joke about Asian accents in writing. :P

But nope! Not this kid.

Gah! It's too late! I already assumed you've posted in every entry that community has!

And yes, it's too late to change my mind!

I've never posted to it either, having only found out about it a few weeks ago, and I only read it the day I found out about it, and found it quite disturbing. I knew you never posted to it, and I know you never would. You always want the credit for offending people. ;)

Penguin Fuckers of the world- UNITE!!!

I agree with you, Vince. I would never post anonymously because I feel that if I believe strongly enough about ANYTHING to post about it, I believe strongly enough to sign my name. I got into some trouble with this in the anonymous LJ, several people seemed to feel that I thought I was better than them because I felt that slamming someone without signing your name was wrong. "Self righteous bitch" and recommendations for banning me factored into the "discussion." Fair enough. I had to do some long hard thinking about that, because I truly don't think I am better than anyone who feels okay about being anonymous posters. I obviously must have come across that way, though, so I had to examine myself to see if I really DO feel that way and didn't realize it.

Of course, people were saying unkind things about people I love, and it distressed me very much. So I wasn't very nice about it, and for that I am sorry. But at least I said it. Me, Scotti. So I have to take whatever "backlash" that comes from what I said. And that is as, I believe, it SHOULD be.

I guess I don't like it, and I think it is wrong, to slam someone anonymously. But I don't think I am better than anyone because they don't agree with me. It doesn't make me feel superior, it just makes me sad that people who feel that strongly aren't willing to stand up and SAY so....they are, after all, naming names. So shouldn't they be identifying themselves, too? But...Jarbaby was right. For that reason, I don't belong there, and I haven't been back.

Which is a very verbose way of saying that I refuse to post ANYTHING anonymously ANYWHERE. If I can't say it under my own name, I shouldn't be saying it. Not expecting anyone else to agree with me, just the way I choose to conduct my life.

It's okay, hon. I always listen to anything anyone says about me, because sometimes a person misses some negative TRUE thing about themself....and it is always a good idea to examine yourself and decide whether something someone has said has merit or not. Even something said anonymously. Perhaps even MORE because it was said anonymously. I always want to be a better person than I am, and if I need to work on something, I WANT to work on it.

Yes, it hurt my feelings. But if they were right, I wanted to understand it and work on correcting it. So I would never want anyone to NOT say something just because they thought it would hurt me, you know? And the truth is, I understand where they were coming from. I truly DON'T feel superior to anyone who posts anonymously, but I see that I came across that way. So it is good to know, so I can work on how I say whatever it is that I have to say.....and say it in a way that doesn't sound so self-righteous.


Anyway, I know it is not my responsibility to defend the people I love. I just cannot help myself, so it is better if I don't even read it to begin with. That way I don't get upset and start brandishing flaming swords and things. :D
