So you performed the public actions you did because you had some private issues. In other words, I am supposed to pay for your problems. And where did you get the idea that telling me this would make me even the tiniest bit more sympathetic?
Look, who the Hell ever asked you to read anything? Did you think that this blog was called "reflections of a stormy petrel" without a reason? I just now had another poster who seems to think that the duty of bloggers is to coddle his views. Well, to the both of you, welcome to planet Earth. And if you are worried about being "hurt" by someone's views, why on God's green Earth and in the name of all angels and saints in Paradise do you begin with friending said person when my blog is open to all readers without any need to join any clubs? I know perfectly well that my stuff is not for all stomachs. Here you simply dragged me into a psychodrama of your own, and I do not appreciate it.
The fact that I was put through a dance of friending and defriending and completely incomprehensible reactions - including the insulting question whether I was a Jew-basher - is nothing to you, it seems. These things do not take time, let alone involve any personal feelings on anyone's side, do they? It is not as though the other person is a real person. And for God's sake, it's not as though I am asking something difficult. ANY time I come across someone I might want to friend, I ALWAYS first go and anonymously read some of her/his LJ and her/his user info, to see what kind of person s/he is. It seems commonsense to me. It has also saved me from trouble a few times.

I can think of things I'd rather do.
