alexander-
since only the words themselves -- the "what" -- are there,
how can you -- or anyone -- tell me "how" i am saying them?
and when i inform you -- quite directly, with no uncertainty --
that i am _not_ "attacking" or "flaming" or "disrupting" or even
"being insensitive", do you mean to tell me that you understand
my internal motivations better than i do, and that i'm _wrong_,
because i really do intend to be doing all those negative things?
do you really believe you can honestly say you know me so well?
my messages are rorschach blots. each person needs to
take responsibility for the way that _you_ interpret them.
i am a gentle soul who writes posts from a good heart,
with a soft sweet voice, and the very best of intentions.
i speak the truth as i see it, because people deserve it.
i always stay as cool as a cucumber, never get heated,
and am willing -- indeed _proud_ -- to "own my words"
-- both here and now, and for the many decades to come.
i've never written a single post, anywhere, i'd take back...
so i'll repeat that, because i want it to sink in:
i am a gentle soul who writes posts from a good heart,
with a soft sweet voice, and the very best of intentions.
although i cannot force people to interpret them that way,
i can -- and _do_ -- take umbrage when they attempt to
force their own interpretation as being reflective of _me_.
because -- from my perspective -- that's extremely rude.
it's dishonest, and disrespectful of me, as a human being.
so yeah, maybe i _am_ in the wrong place...
