fpbI gave it to one particular person, and now I repeat it to everyone of the dozens of sad, vindictive, time-wasting twerps who cannot seem to live without finding something to blame me for.
Of us two, which one values the other the more? Which one goes looking for the other's writing, seeking for reasons to be indignant and sarcastic, hanging on to whatever reference may be twisted into a reason, an excuse, a springboard of any sort, merely to attach your name to mine? To me, you mean very little, except perhaps an occasional opportunity to be sarcastic at your expense. What is it that makes me so important in your eyes, that you just insist on commenting on me, as if I mattered? And, please, don't give me the usual nonsense about me being a pseud. The world is full of pseuds, but other pseuds like you do not generally get obsessed with them.
And now I have a suggestion for you. Forget I exist and do something constructive. Leave f_w and other similar gathering-points for inadequates and - write a song; write a story; draw something; start an OU degree - Hell, get a a CIMA qualification, become an accountant, draw up the accounts for a company. Do something saner with your time than persecute someone you do not know for reasons that do not exist.

Even with you telling it to them plain, it's obviously going to take them many more years to gain the wisdom to understand that the more you feed something, the more it grows. And normally I'd sail right past a post of this nature with only a mental nod of acknowledgement, but I'm more than slightly sick of suffering fools lately, and just wanted to let you know that I can commiserate. Wait until they grow enough brains to actually debate you; until they do, it's a waste of your time to even engage them.

Be well, sir, and don't let the bastards get to you.

But that's not what ticks people off about FPB's posts, I'm gathering...

Date: 2006-09-24 06:25 pm (UTC)The most annoying of these offenders kept flaming me every time I foolishly took her off email block, so I finally just left the block up. For all I know she's still sending me flames every week.
Anyway, I hope you don't mind that I just Friended you; your LJ looks interesting and we clearly have multiple interests in common - fanfiction, Western civilization, that kind of thing. And a couple of mutual Friends. You don't have to Friend me back. Also, I've added you to my political filter (I love filters), but if you find it tedious and would rather be off it, just say so. Just from the couple of pages of your posts I've read, we are at least partially in agreement, but I do tend to rant heatedly in the privacy of my political filter, since I know everyone who reads it will for the most part agree with me, and it relieves tension from having to disagree cordially in RL.
