HA - I can't believe I'm doing this, or no wait, I can. Anyways, I'm posting this because my eyebrows went through the roof when I read:
quadir wrote:3. Rock on DR. It's too bad she didn't stand up to herself like silver did, but even I admit you're an intimidating bunch. Congrats on making a girl cry. Looking at something and going 'how did this win over X?' is a completely valid question/statement and of course it's a difference of opinion but so is most of what comes out of your mouth. The fact that X is your own video makes the comment seem more whiney then it is, but everyone makes these kinds of statements all the time. But maybe you're emo wah wah trythil wah wah I suck and don't. Stop being a bunch of hypocrits.
If making me cry is the worst offense then...well I don't know what, but yeesh!! I am NOT proud of what I said in #review, quadir. Or at least, I'm not proud of the
way I said it - hence my dismay that some people misinterpreted it so badly and my carelessness in uttering such a statement around folks who aren't willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. Really. It was a stupid thing to say and I apologized for it.
I felt like such a wimp reading "Congrats on making a girl cry" though...probably because it makes me look like a wimp and there are few things I hate more than being wimpy. I usually do stand up for myself - it's one of my lovely little habits that drives lots of people, rightly or wrongly, nuts - but right now this is the best I can do. Sorry to disappoint, quadir.
What? Heh? YAH!! But wait, there's MORE!
I have a medical condition that, when it gets beyond the scope of my medication to handle, proceeds to cause all kinds of mental, physical and/or emotional problems. These problems don't crash land, they sneak in and it usually takes some kind of MAJOR incident to confirm that yes, something is wrong with me again. This crying business is one facet of a major incident and unfortunately the most public one.
Anyways, I've been "off" for awhile now. It may have contributed to the coherency and tone of my contributions to #review of late, hard to tell, really. Bottom line is that I wasn't reacting to things the way I normally would have, I wasn't saying things the way I'd normally say them, I wasn't acting like myself. I believe I already explained why my comment came out the way it did and what I really meant to say - that all still stands, even though that came out badly, too, of course. I apologize for making such a scene.
I'm going to refrain from saying anything more about #review at this point because a lot of it has already been said (one way or another), I am not fond of exhaustive quote replies, I don't think dragging any of this out further is going to have positive results and it's going to be another week or two before I get my new meds. Yes, we get it: whatever it was originally intended to be, #review seems to have gotten off track and could use some revamping...let's see what we can all learn from this and look forward to better times.
Thanks. Please, continue to talk amongst yourselves.
