You all proved my point and I won my bet, $100! A friend kept telling me people on this site were better then other posts, brighter, kinder, more informed and not as mean.
I took the bet and decided to write about Glen, since he is the one everyone is so offended by right now and using one of his comments he always says after he tells a lie… “I’m just saying” turn it on him.
Remembering how often my straight friends asked me if Tom Cruise was gay years ago it seemed a perfect fit for what I was going for. I always responded to that question by asking, “Why do you care, did he call, is he a personal friend, what differences does it make?”
So I went for it having great fun writing an absurd post that really meant nothing and waited for the uproar.
Even I didn’t imagine I would get so many amazing comments about some silly thing that is meaningless. All the mean, nasty things that people wrote, wasting their time on a bit of nonsense that would have been so much easier to just move on about someone they don’t know, will never meet and don’t know anything about. I suppose its just part of human nature that makes people feel they have to make some comment. One of my favorites comments was about how I’d only written one other post, like I have time to waste regurgitating what some politician said yesterday that I don’t really care about or what congress is doing hour by hour?
Mostly I think it’s the Internet that makes people feel they can say anything knowing they are anonymous, no one really know who they really are so they feel free to be as nasty as they want with no personal consequences.
We especially loved the coffee clutch thing with two people talking to each other about coffee and showers like a couple of old ladies, too funny! You’d think people had better thing to do but seems not.
One said it best.
Wow! You really hit a homer here, buddy.
So thanks again for proving my point that this site is the same as all the others, people just can’t resist being nasty, right, center or left. We all had great laughs here reading all the comments and it made our day.
Keep up the good work!!!
