Sad
Luchi's blog seems to teem with such a happy family. It makes me feel fuzzy and warm, and lonely at the same time. Golly, I wish the people that I cared about the most would come around now and then.
And then she came and made this post.
It's exactly what I mean to say.
Anonymous people have ALWAYS bugged me. I've always hated them. Even if they were just submitting an editorial someplace, and even if they were saying good, agreeable things, I couldn't help but get just a little bit angry reading that anonymous word. Why would anybody want to be anonymous? Why would anybody want to partake of something that doesn't affect them?
Even when people added me to their chat lists and wouldn't tell me who they were. When they made me guess; damn I hate that. I really do. I wish there were some word one could use to effectively convey: "I do NOT want to play this game, I will HATE YOU if you make me do this."
Sad that there isn't.
And if we think really hard, I think we realize there are no winners in the "anonymous troll" game. It's not as if anyone's ever going to listen to you if you present your opinions on a tag that basically means "nobody". So what's the point?
I used to be one of those trigger-happy kiddos that would run around and argue with any evil person. Whether they be bored ex-members that had nothing better to do but post disgusting insults as "anonymous" or meanies with "the wrong opinions".
Not so much anymore.
Now it makes me sad. It makes me really sad. I don't know why it makes me sad. Maybe I'm sad for the person who's getting continually bashed, maybe I'm tired of reading what they're saying, maybe I'm sad for the troll who will burn in hell, maybe I'm sad because it's a psychological reflection of everything and everyone nowadays, or maybe I'm sad because of a mishmash of all of the above.
But it makes me sad. And being sad is not a nice feeling.

I feel ya.
Ha. Thanks for the comment on my blog. It's funny cuz I think I've become lame.
Anons and trolls are going through their own stage of mental infancy. They're annoying, but don't let them bring you down. You owe them no respect, you can consider yourself an infinitely better person, ignore them and their opinions as absolutely inconsequential.
Or at least laugh at them. Then you won't be sad.
Luchi, i love you
now I will do the most annoying thing and post anon! :) only because this is an inconsequential post...see what anons have the power to do! but in this day and age, no one is truely anonymous. THey always ahve their ip lurking somewhere...
that's true.
that's why they prey on the weak...those who obviously don't know how to find ip addresses.
so this must be why they don't come around!!! hurrah!
Ignore them and their opinions as absolutely inconsequential.
