Addressing the Masses (Respecting My Blog)...

Good Day All;
Before I post a new blog about our trip to "The Soo", I believe I must address the situation within my previous posted link. (Perhaps I should add this to my "about me" also)?

The greenish highlights below are only a part of a blog I had written years back...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am finding it very hard to be keeping up with everyone, and apologize for this- Yet I do wish to be thanking everyone that has asked to be added as my friend too.

I have denied but a few people- on the grounds that I will never add an empty/closed page, or one without a photo; save for my personal friends and relatives.

I am hoping that you will know me as kind, compassionate, caring; (and halfway creative ~at times anyway)-

I have many positive energies- as well as a few negative ones- (we all possess those and work on them daily).

I am active.

I am not afraid to sweat or to get my hands dirty- (although I wish never to get my name dirty).

I love and respect animals, (and yes, I abhor spiders).

I can run hot, cold, ---and every conceivable degree inbetween--- (I reserve my hottest for the most appropriate times-, and know when to be absolutely cold also).

I do NOT tolerate immorality.

I do NOT tolerate drunks, druggies, liars, thieves, or cheats. (Or bloggers that, having NO life of their own, can only gossip and lie)...

I do NOT abide suffering or pain; especially that kind brought on by someone who is supposed to love you with all their being- heart and soul. Nor whether it is physical, mental, psychological, (or even just imagined).

.

Simply put,
Pain is pain. ..
.. Suffering is suffering.

As stated, please keep in mind that you need not agree with me on it all.
(Personally), I have a tendency to celebrate our differences, and not whine about them...

And yeah, I really AM the person I have written about. (Kinda boring that way too)!

Therefore...
We are all adults.

• I can handle honest~to~goodness, good~natured ribbing, as I believe most of you can as well. Yet when it morphs into surly garbage, I am hurt.
  
  
• I ask that you not be writing profanity or otherwise raunchy or really offensive stuff within my pages.
  
  
• I ask that nothing be "stolen" "borrowed" from me without my permission. (This includes my own words and photos).
  
  
• Know that if you "put yourself out there" and open yourself up, you may be written back at. (After all, that IS the purpose of commenting on my things, is it not)?
  
  
• As always, and without exception, you are welcomed to disagree within any of my blogs, or links or reviews.
  Please just do it nicely.
  
  
  

(The key word in all of the above is "my").

Casey is known to be very, very, fair.
She is also known to be very very passionate.
But there naturally comes a time when that 'level' of hers gets tipped, and all hell breaks loose.
This has happened to one person previously within our Yahoo! 360~Blogs.
I made no apologies for her comments then. I won't do it now.
Actually I do not think I have ever apologized for anyone that has stuck up for me, ever.

Know, and respect, that there is a huge difference between fighting and disagreeing.
There's a big difference between ignorant and "just plain st00pid" too. And I haven't called ANYone names in a bad way; (not with that last sentence, nor ever).
You will never have to ask if I am angry. I promise you will "know".

Should problems arise, please do the right thing, and just ask.
Since I comment "right backatcha" on most of my posts, it will not take long for me to address any issue you might believe you have.
(And I honestly do think of myself as a halfway intelligent and decent person).

Furthermore, I generally do not write what I may link to, save for the links within my blogs that ask you to reread something (see linked words above).

• 99.9% of what I link to is NOT written by me.

Last but not least, it really is MY blog.
I reserve the right to write, post, blog, (and talk back), as I choose, within my pages.
 
Questions? 
Please see the empty boxes below. They really are there for YOU!

I am done with this rant for now.

And NOW, on to my next real blog, (which should be posted within the hour).

XOXO
