Keep it on your own site.
Every now and then, I get a wild, but passionate hair across my ass, and engage in conversations outside of my blog that I know will upset other people.
I don't engage in these conversations because I know it will upset them, I engage in them because I get more and more passionate about the subject matter as the conversation grows.
This leads to others becoming just as passionate, and before you know it, the conversation is so far off the original topic, it can't be brought back around unless parts of the conversation are deleted.
This happened, and it's now at that point people are upset.
I have apologized, but the conversation is still there, and will be, until someone decides to clean it up, or they may even let it stand.
But I'm seriously tired of people telling me not to be offended about stuff, when they are on the other side and have no fucking clue what it's like to live on this side.
Walk a mile or two in my shoes and then feel free to tell me how to react to shit.
I've walked in both sets of shoes, so I'm truly qualified to talk about it, and I'm just sick of all the advice giving that comes from people who just don't understand what it's like.
I'll elaborate more on this later, but right now I'm going to go lay down until the alarm goes off at 5:45am for the teens to go to school.
If I owe you an email, I'll get to it when it's officially daytime.
I'm pissed off and irritated, and I really need to sit and think this all through before I say anything else that is going to upset people.

Kat, as human beings we all have the right to our own beliefs and opinions. People should be secure enough with themselves to accept others beliefs even if they differ from their own. If someone gets upset because you have a brain and can think for yourself then that shows what a small and shallow person they really are. You should never have to apoligize for being you. If people cannot accept you as you are they don't deserve your time. Their loss! f**k em. One of your best qualities is being honest about your feelings.

I know exactly what and where you're talking about, and I agree. I was getting worried about where that would end up going.

Umm... thought the conversation as going well. Sorry to be a source of irritation or stress, Kat. I'll shut up now.

Craig,
No, do not stop talking or emailing, it's fine.
Did you see the time stamp on that post? It was nearly 5 in the morning, I had been awake all night from insomnia again.
With a constant case of insomnia, sleeping on average 2-3 hours a night, the mind tends to take things and make them bigger than they are.
While I did disagree with some things you said and yes, they did upset me, it is no reason at all to stop communication.
Only through communication can both views come to a better understanding of each other.
