I don't hate. I dislike.
It's insane, and manipulative, to expect anyone, myself in this case, to respond to toxicity with a smile as if I were an idiot.
I respond to the energy that I receive. No one is required to like me. I have no childish expectations of others. Clearly, I don't try to curry favor so that they do. The reason for this I simple, I realized long ago that I don't like everyone either. Logic dictates that they have the same right to not find me to be their cup of tea. I am comfortable in my reality.
What is not okay is to take constant abusive shots from others because they don't agree with me. When that happens, a line is crossed. I will strike back.
The part that I would find amusing, if it wasn't so damn pathetic, is the victim role they take when I do come back at them.
I have a Nazi wannabe hater that hates me simply because I found his support of genocide appalling. I said so and earned a hater since. I have responded to his hate with the same energy that I got from him.
I have a hater that came at me when I didn't even know who she was. I still really don't, but perhaps she's an angry drunk and decided I needed to know she doesn't like me. I have accepted that her feelings about me. Meh, she's free to feel her feelings. She's not free to be disrespectful and expect unicorn rainbow farts in return.
If you come at me with bullshit, I will categorically reject it.
If you call me a lib shitstain, do not get perturbed when I tell you to go fuck yourself. Your expectation of being treated with respect is unreasonable and child-like.
Be a dick, you will be treated like a dick.
Exchange discussion points like an adult and you will be treated as such.
But my haters aren't here for that. They are here in some pretense. Still not quite sure what you people are pretending to do here.
I think most people are like
@Alticus and simply want to socialize a bit. Shoot the shit, so to speak. I am on Alticus' wavelength. After this many years online, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to come here to seek antagonistic exchanges.
Do what you choose to do. I won't even try to convince anyone otherwise. Just don't expect me to kow-tow to you. Ask yourself who you think you really are to ask that of anyone.
