i didn't even write that.
and for your information i'm not looking to make things work better if she wants to jump all over a friendly, joking comment. (i said almost exactly the same thing to her in person and we were laughing). if you want to talk to someone about being cruel and unthoughtful, talk to your sister, because there have been few times i've ever stuck up for what i think, much less attacked her beliefs.

Better idea. Why don't YOU talk to me. This Internet nonsense is childish.
If I've learned one thing about Internet communication it's this: Sarcasm and tone do not translate into text. At all. And if I remember it correctly, and I do, I wasn't laughing.
Also, I didn't jump all over anything. I evenly pointed out I didn't appreciate what you wrote on my wall and you were the one being snappy.
The fact that you don't stick up for what you think is the problem. You never do. How exactly am I suppose to know what is and what isn't okay to say to you if you don't tell me? I'm not a mind reader. Passive-aggression doesn't get anyone anywhere. You're going to have to talk sometimes. Welcome to life.
Skye, I may be a lot of things, but I am not thoughtless.
If you really think this is all about that stupid wall post, I've been giving you way too much credit.
you were incrediably harsh for what i said. i scoured your facebook looking for something else that could have been mistaken as being from me because it didn't make sense. i'm pretty sure you label yourself a flaming liberal and that IS relatively apparent on facebook...
i don't think it's being passive-aggressive to choose not to start arguments. it's fine with me if you talk about that and it's fine with me w/e you think, but i don't have to volunteer to be the token republican you duke it out with. generally i prefer being on speaking terms. with everything you say on a regular basis i just don't see how you can accuse me of attacking Your beliefs.
i don't know what else this is about besides that a lot of other ppl who have some of the same opinions as me have been obnoxious recently. unless you've been trying to goad me into talking more, and if that's the case i did miss it.
"Skye, I may be a lot of things, but I am not thoughtless." -point. i was mad at caitlin.
I have a problem with what you wrote because I know that you actually feel that way. It came off like you were laughing at me rather than with me. The fact that your partisanship opposes mine didn't really help things much. I don't know how to make it clearer than that
( ... )
if i was laughing at anyone it was at myself because what's true is that i do shy away from anything hugely liberal. i just don't want to go there. you're pretty perceptive and i don't think you actually misinterpreted anything at all; i think you were looking for something to jump on and created it
( ... )
How could you say that to me? Why exactly would I make up that the person I regarded as my best friend thinks I'm incompetent, insignificant, dispensable piece of nothing? What exactly would I get out of that? Can YOU even answer that
( ... )
can you give any example of me regarding you as imcompetent or insignificant?! i don't think that and i don't know how i've given you that impression. and how the heck have i mistreated you?! i am trying to see where you're coming from but i have no idea what i've done so wrong.
you started this on politics and haven't been specific about anything else, so if that's what i have to go on of course that's what i'd think.
we have opposite beliefs and different morals, so yes, i disagree with you on a lot of things and, newsflash, that's not going to change. i don't think any less of you for having those opinions, but you don't "make an effort to see things any differently"- why expect that from me? i've always been very aware of your views and it's been fine, and you're not just realizing what mine are, so why does it suddenly mean we can't be friends?
