Consideration

Lately this place has not been what it once was for me... well for quite a while it hasn't been what it once was. I haven't written much poetry in years; I still come in and check on my "friends" libraries and journals, post in my journal from time to time, comment in the forums, but that is about all.

I have previously considered making a back-up file of my library and then clearing out, after events of today I am once again making that consideration.

Someone deliberately posted offensive things in their journal directed towards me because they believed I was being politically sarcastic, and I had "offended" them by "invading" their "space" and commenting on a post in their journal. This is the internet, and while it is possible to mark your journal or library members only, I have been a member for at least a decade now, uninterrupted. I have visited many libraries and journals and left many comments. Therefore, I'm not sure how my comment on a journal entry could honestly be considered an "invasion" of someone's personal space.

It is amazing that one person makes assumptions about a comment, and rather than asking what I meant in a message, blasts me in a VERY political tirade, making assumptions about what my views and beliefs are, and thinks they are justified. Indeed, in my evaluation bringing himself to the same level as the ones he mentions in his tirade with such disgust and distaste.

I have dealt with a lot of verbal abuse both online and off from way too many people in the past months, and have thus far decided the solution is to remove these people from contact with myself. Since I have other venues in which I can keep in touch with the majority of my "friends" from here, and since I'm really not being the poetically creative person I once was, and as there are once again individuals who deem that they know my intentions and are justified in launching erroneous verbal attacks against me, then perhaps my association with this once very beloved site should cease.
