We should get a manual for life, don’t you think?1 I’m making it up as I go, and I’m getting some wrong.
My sister and I upset each other over a discussion about television. I mentioned that I would like to eliminate TV, which inspired her to write an opinion about why that is unnecessary. She made some good points, but was uncharacteristically harsh, so my response was also barbed. We knew we had been mean spirited, had a nice discussion over the phone, and cleared it all up, the end.
That silly argument with my sister made me think, however, that I need a disclaimer. I post things here that I enjoy writing. I am (usually) not going out of my way to piss you off, but it is bound to happen from time to time. It is difficult to make an argument without putting too sharp a point on it.
Many people I don’t know now read this site, and inevitably I will disagree with some of them. It happened recently, and I did not handled it appropriately, so I thought it would be more productive to make things clear. I welcome a difference of opinion, and if you would like to express one, please do, but lets be civil about it. No name calling, no YELLING!!!, and take the time to string together sentences that make sense. I will do the same.
Should all of that fail, and something I have written upsets you, keep in mind, I don’t know what the hell I am doing, I may be wrong, I am often an asshole, and I’m sorry on all counts. These are only my opinions, and they have no more validity than yours. No hard feelings.
