kittykats1's blog post - Stirring the pot

Thursday, August 16, 2007, 1:14:42 AM

The pot stirring has become more and more prevalent on the forums lately. Is it a phase of the moon?

There are just some people who seem to relish stirring everyone
up and then when the storm clouds gather, the back peddling or hand wringing statements of being mournfully misunderstood or their statements i.e. 'opinion' has been misconstrued as an attack on some particular gender/act/appearance/religion/political affiliation, whatever start flowing. Bollocks.

Yeah. BOLLOCKS. We are all intelligent people here, give us a break. Are you unhappy? Bitter? Angry? Do you enjoy the sight of unhappiness and the roiling feelings of anger and sadness you stir up with your 'innocent words?' There are many types of people in this world, with as many opinions to match. That being said has the saying "If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all" strike a chord? I always try my damndest to be a decent person and mindful of people's feelings and I usually am pretty successful. I like people. Most of the time. I don't like to see people hurt or sad. It makes me unhappy and I don't enjoy being unhappy. Yes I know we mustn't sugarcoat the world; that is unrealistic. It would just be nice once in a while if the asshats of the world (and the NN forums) would just SHUT THEIR FUCKING CAKEHOLES and keep their mean-spirited words to themselves. It isn't too much to ask is it? Maybe just put some thought into that post prior to hitting reply? I know that won't happen cuz some people get their jollies off of stirring the pot, so the only thought process is "wooowheee this is really gonna get them jumpin I tell you what! *cackle cackle cough wheeze cackle*" That btw is not the sort of thinking I am talking about, prior to posting.

I just get tired of it sometimes. Maybe it's a sign that it is time to take a break from this place. If some random asshole stranger that I have no relationship with, nor will I ever, can hurt my feelings then perhaps I need to step away. I have a full life, almost over full so why should I waste my time with something that makes me unhappy? Maybe it is the monthly thing that is getting me down, but I doubt it.

Puurrs to all,

Some people just wallow in unhappiness.
They insult.. they irritate as that is their form or relationship. I have seen women married to men like that. Insults constantly about their cooking/cleaning/Laundry... they do not mention that they go to work every day, they simply insult them and it does not matter who is there and listening. It is done to make them feel the superior person. To me it makes them look like asses. I, in no way, condone disrespect. Respect is earned, yes, but total disregard for another persons feelings is unacceptable. Have lost friends due to that... my choice.

Hate to see you leave here.

One thing that happens is the knuckleheads here get so much attention. They are looking for the controversy and have an audience.
Best cure: Ignore it and it will go away.

Hope to see you again! and AGAIN!
