Tehehehehehe, LMAO! 😛

The package that was handed to me earlier this year was covered in broken glass and razor wire and better yet, empty inside. I was already bruised, bleeding, and on the verge of slipping into a coma. It was not appreciated. It made it so much worse. Like really, really, really worse. It is JUST the internet, true, but words hurt espcially when you are already hurting.

I don't think being a bully with a message makes you anything but that. A bully.

My bad, that was in response to this.....

No, I'm not saying the harsh approach is best or worst, nor that MY approach is either. But then again, I'm not one who gets hung up on the way the gift is WRAPPED when it's given to me... sparkly shiny gorgeous or plain brown paper.. I rip it open to see what's inside. Maybe that's why I like Caligula and P-Angel and their straight up rawness.. I have the ability to focus less on the tone and harshness, and more on the message.

Which is about as far as I got into this thread and then decided.... Hey, I have an opinion. Typical fucking Gem.

I like this topic. Who is the "right" audience?

The people that reply with sympathy to a poster embroiled in a ridiculous situation. Why would you reinforce someone's internal dialogue of bs when they actually need to get slapped across the face by reality. There are many people here that get labeled as mean and brash when the reality is, they are the ONLY mother fuckers trying to REALLY help. P-Angel is a fine example. She's consistently branded as mean and bitchy when the reality is, she was trying to help.

People get so ruffled over the delivery that they fail to see the real message. Who cares if the words were "mean" if the message actually helps? I'm not trying to glorify anyone here, I'm simply saying that being nice is dumb when it harms other people.

IE, if someone posts about how much their life sucks, what the fuck is the point of posting some fake ass "Im sorry your life sucks" when the reality is, the person needs to hear someone that may actually help them out. Even if that something isn't necessarily nice. Does a drunk need to hear sympathy and nice words about their drinking problem? No, they need to get their drinks taken away and become the recipient of a swift kick in the ass.

That's what I mean about adversity. What does being nice actually amount to when it's really harmful?
