So...  Earlier tonight, I had a bit of a disagreement with a friend of mine on LJ.  If you read my journal at all, you know who you are.  I won't name any names as I don't feel the need to drag identities other than my own out into the public light

You can name names; I don't hide behind anonymity. However, to be accused of backpeddling is insulting. I'm not sure why you think I 'backpeddled'. Everything I said was consistent. Just because you misunderstood what I initially said or why I was upset with you doesn't mean I backpeddled. It just means that you understood the reason for me being upset in a later comment. I don't backpeddle. If I am ever wrong about something, I outright admit it. None of this backpeddling nonsense; I always take responsibility for what I say.

.... reply was very direct, blunt, and brutally honest

That's what I'm known for. Some people like that about me, some hate it. I don't care. That's who I am, and I am not going to change that about myself. And I will treat friends, acquaintances, and strangers all the same: I will call people out on their bullshit, or tell them off.

No, you did not hurt my feelings, but I was very disappointed with your attitude.

Kind of ironic...

I posted an appology for HOW I reacted. Accept it for what it is and leave it at that.

Yet you accuse me of 'backpeddling'. OK....

Oh please, you had your own snack! And it was bigger than mine!

I'm not getting into your disagreement, so no comment on that :)

Dealing with conflict in a mutually respectful way without being a push over is tough. I have been thinking about conflict a lot myself.
