Well, so much for that. *sniffs* *sigh* I really, truly, honestly never meant to hurt anybody. Me and my sense of humor...The things I find funny are never meant to offend, but somehow they get read as sadistic. (I am not a sadistic person! I can't bear to watch people in movies kick puppes!)

I think closing the club was for the best. I still do not quite understand why it was so offensive, but I hate the idea of anybody's feelings being hurt by something I inspired, so it's closed anyway.

And apparently we came out just as some huge censoring harrassment thing did, which frankly explains why people are so edgy, so I can understand a bit better, but I'm still a bit hurt that people would misread me so badly...and all right, some of them don't know me all that well, but they know Thalia! And a lot of the others! I'm fairly new to the CM community, so if I was jumped on I can take that. But come on! Some of the OBiAC have been with CM practically since it started. Don't you trust them enough to take it as a joke?

All right. That was my "Yes, my feelings are hurt, too," rant.

But I honestly am sorry that we came out as anything but poking a little mild fun. I really do feel very badly that we drew any kind of blood. I don't know if this will appear on the friends list of any of the people I offended, but I hope it does and that you will accept my apologies.

brilliantly spoken.

but i'm afraid i'm not much help in that arena. a) i've irked a few key people a few times with my outspoken-ness about site policies related to betaing, and b) my sense of humor is offensive, in general, (not to mention my politics, lol) to the same set of people, who are on my friends list but never comment or otherwise interact with me (and vice versa). when it comes to HP, we get along (or did until i started branching out on my ships, but now that's almost even down the tubes with many of them), but in nearly all other regards, we don't. we either work to find things in common, which is tedious but hey, friends are friends, or we just let sleeping dogs lie. but once in a while they get woken up because of reason a) -- i'm a bloody loudmouth. XD

so there's that. XD

Poor Thalia. *hugs*

:hugs back: thanks, although i dunno if i should get pity when it's, in essence, my fault. :( but thank you!

Well, I'm one of those people who does her absolute best to embody, "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight for your right to say it." So I'm sorry that the things you say get trampled on.

[thalialunacy.livejournal.com]

hmm... my bad for putting out the impression i get trampled on, cause actually this group is the best i think i've ever come across at not trampling, at least not when they know it'll cause badness. there's just lots and lots of arguing. XD

I just read this, Thalia, and I hope you're not talking about me :-( We argue like a bitch, but we always have. It's not going to be the last time, particularly since we're *both* loudmouths and unafraid to say what we mean. That's why we clash, but I think that's also why we get along. I am not offended by your sense of humour (this occassion notwithstanding), or your politics. I don't care about ships (see the H/Hr's on my flist). I will also be bold and say I don't think anyone else would agree with that either, but it's not my place to state that definitively.

Basically, I hope that you don't really think that of me, because I think that's just taking my one comment about being offended and running with it. Is one occassion of hurt feelings going to ruin a friendship? It hasn't in the past and hopefully it won't now.

Sorry for hijacking your journal elucreh :-)

nope nope, wasn't talking about you. :) you're stuck with me unless you say otherwise very plainly. :P

I will also be bold and say I don't think anyone else would agree with that either, but it's not my place to state that definitively. uh... what? :scratches head vapidly:

and it was more than one comment. XD

[claireyfairy1.livejournal.com]

Oh, coolie. Thought maybe you were ignoring me since I sent you a PM and you haven't read it :(

And the second part. I was saying that I don't think anyone else feels that way about you (offensive humour, politics, loudmouth, etc). T'is all. Are you saying I didn't make sense? *gasp* How ruuude! I always make sense! LOL.

[thalialunacy.livejournal.com]

ooh. i haven't been to the forums in a bit and wasn't planning on it. but i'll go read it and email you back. :)

veeeery interesting... i guess i always assume there are things left unsaid by many parties in the name of civility. and i figure if i say it first mebbe it'll show that i realize i'm not perfect... blah blah sorry elucreh ^^.
