Schnarkiness.

There are a few things out there in blogland from the past few days that have ~really~ gotten under my skin. It's nothing at all focused at me or even remotely so, but the judgements I have seen just have really truly irked me.

It's just when people mention really sensitive subjects without even a hint of understanding there ~may~ just be another viewpoint out there. That even though they think very strongly about something, the assumption is it's their opinion or you are just plain wrong.

And that's not what I'm about.

I'm about talking about sensitive subjects when the mood strikes me. I like controversy. But if anyone has been reading me for any length of time, you will notice that I ~always~ leave room for the other side. I may not agree with the majority of the other side, but I do understand there are always exceptions where even my strong viewpoint can understand the value of the other side.

I'm not going to talk about the subject(s) I've seen lately because it's not one of those things that strike me to talk about. Like politics, I have my viewpoints but it's just not something I'm interested in discussing here.

The whole reason I brought it up is it's made me quite schnarky. What it's done is made me focus on anything at all I don't agree with and I want to comment with my sarcasm. I want to tell some seeking support on a variety of issues to suck it up. I want there to be an eyeroll emoticon. See? I told you. I'm schnarky now. And that's not how I usually am. (okay, i'll admit, I am always a little schnarky, but I ~usually~ can keep it to myself.) So I may have to take a short break from commenting until I can get this under control. Blogs are out there to do just what everyone does - cry about the crappiness that they see is in their life. Discuss their opinions. And while I can choose to comment or not, if I do comment, it should be with support or a civil discussion of my own viewpoints. Except that's not how things are coming out.

Please forgive my silence for a day or so.
