I take it from the fact that people have commented on journals that I post, that these things are actually read. This is good. It means that people are actually listening to me.

I will point out though, what I write here, or on any other social media/communication channel is expressed without the consent of other people and without the intervention of other people. In other words, if I write something here, it's entirely unfiltered, uncensored, straight from the horse's mouth, etc etc.

It's come to my attention that my once good standing in this community has faltered due to a combination of a bad night and depression. Yes, I said something that shouldn't have been said on a public channel, and yes it was read by someone who I knew would get hurt about it. It was never my intention to hurt said person but I can't control how what I say spreads and gets passed around. If I put it there in the first place, it's because I had a reason to.

What I also don't understand is why other people are getting butthurt about it. People that weren't even involved in the first place. I've lost some credible friends over what happened over the weekend, and it doesn't really bother me all that much. I stand by what I said and if people are disturbed when I express my opinions, and want to start basing their opinion of me on that one incident, then I'm more than happy to show them the door. You are advised to unfollow, unwatch, unfriend, un-whatevertheycallitnow.

I did what I had to do, short of tearing down a wall and interrupting a friend's DnD match upstairs. If that bothers you, then it's not my problem.
