Venting some poison
Feel free to skip it.
I am angry today.
I am angry because someone decided they knew me, knew what I wanted and how I thought, and refused to hear my words, then insulted and belitted me on the basis of their assumptions.
This is the internet, and such incidents are pretty well par for the course, so I walked away.
But then to see this person continue to beat the strawman version of "me" they invented, and moreover, to claim they're doing it in the name of preventing bullying?
I am angry.
And I am trying very hard to hold on to the resolution to disengage, because my instinct when attacked -- and I feel attacked -- is to go for the jugular.
