Grant Me the Serenity...


...To change what I can,
To tolerate what I can't,
And enough ammo to deal with whatever is left.

I swear, some people just need a kick up the ass with a steel-toed boot, amirite?

When traipsing around in the realm of social media, there are rules. I don't care where you are; Flitter, Instogram, Pintrust, Crapchat, or otherwise. They may be unspoken, they may be implicit, but they are there and we all recognize them on some level. The three rules that I see consistently being broken are as follows:

1. Thou shalt not offer thy unsolicited opinion, especially if thou hast no idea what the fuck ye referreth to.

2. Thou shalt refrain from bullying others, lest ye be labeled as a 'Troll'.

3. Thy privates shall remain thusly private, until otherwise deemed apropos by thy audience.

Now, I understand that by posting my thoughts on the interwebs for all and sundry to gaze upon, I'm granting my readers tacit permission to offer their opinion. And sure, I understand that not everyone is going to agree with me (in fact, sometimes I'd rather you DIDN'T agree, as I enjoy alternate viewpoints). But sometimes (and this is key), it's okay to keep your opinion to yourself. It's okay to refrain-- really, it is. Believe me- The Hornet rarely had a thought she didn't feel compelled to share and honestly, is THAT who you want to be like?

I think not.

I don't want to discourage people from commenting, that's not my aim here. I'm just venting because I've had it with people on social media who think the only way to get my attention is to belittle me or correct me when I'm pretty fucking sure I know what I intended to say.

And because Gottaring v2.0 is a raging bitch, please note that if you find yourself blocked from my Flitter or my blog, it's because I've had enough of you. I find that I have less time and patience these days, especially for bullies, trolls and know-it-alls.

And if that bothers you, go fuck thyself.

When it comes to sex, I need a STRONG connection. Otherwise, the page just keeps buffering and takes FOREVER to load...

some peopl just dont have a brain to use. They want to feel good about themselves by being a troll.
I cant relate. I need some intellectual stimulation.

Hmmm, I guess it is a good thing that no one reads my blog on the rare occasions I post to it.

I am the only Me you get.

Some rules are meant to be broken but not these three.
Apropros is, i believe, the first time I've come across that word on blog land?

I heartily encourage you to continue your policy of "thinning the herd" . it makes us better, more respectful and removes those with troll DNA. I keep telling everyone to play nice but I've had to deal with a troll infestation on my blog so apparently some aren't paying attention. Keep it up and I'll try to stay on your good side.

Take it easy, guns are cold.

Nice post. However.

I'm not in line with your rules. I think they should be:

1) Thou shalt be respectful to thineself and others at all times. The golden rule.
2) If thou hast nothing constructive to contribute, don't say it.
3) If in doubt refer to rule #1.

Because of these rules I avoid many of the social media outlets. I never have anything nice to say.

Evening,

I have to say that the last two paragraphs of your post have me smiling. It's a great attitude.

So many do feel like it's their right to tell you what they think and that you have to listen to them. They really should learn that keeping your mouth shut is ok sometimes.

Take care,
H
