... and common sense





Both appear to be sadly lacking on dA right now. Overreaction and temper tantrums however .... not so much.

Person A writes a journal & gives a personal opinion on a type of miscat. Gives no examples, mentions no names. A neutral, personal opinion.

Person B decides, however, to interpret it as a personal slight and is extremely offensive to Person A.

Person B subsequently writes a "Waah, I'm being oppressed" self-serving journal complaining about "hateful attacks" and damn me if others don't join in, making it patently obvious they haven't read, or have read and failed to comprehend, the source of Person's B ire. Otherwise they'd see Person B's journal for the fiction it is.
Some people did 'get it' , my comments are not addressed to them

After over 2 years on dA, I'm mostly inured to this type of behaviour from the teens but to see it from a group of - allegedly - adults, turns my stomach.

Sticking by one's friends is, generally, a good thing. Blind loyalty in the absence of facts -or in total denial of those facts - can be downright stupid.

If anyone reading this journal is offended by it, I don't give a flying fuck.  And that's my personal opinion.

Have a nice day :D

I know you're teasing, but I'm leaving my sense of humour under the desk for now. Someone started a bonfire, I've said my piece and I'm saying nowt else until & unless there's an "official" discussion or debate on the topic.

The tantrum throwing toddlers can go play in their own sand pit and stay the fuck out of mine.

Imho it's best to ignore people with strange reactions and move on. Well it works best for me. I hate to waste energy.

I agree, that's why I've said my piece and am moving on. But some really unnecessary things were said, events have been misinterpreted and that is being perpetuated. When stuff like this impinges on someone I care about, I do something.
