Written on July 3rd, 2009
Matt asked everyone here if they agreed to the terms, which are simple: don’t steal material, and have some goddamned sense.
If we will all just do that, everyone should get along fine, yo.
Don’t go out of your way to be a dick (or a bitch) unless you are cool with being attacked, yourself. This is for sure a lesson I learned the hard way a long time ago, and I can absolutely dish it out as well as take it, but I have NOT dished it out on here. I really haven’t. Or, not like I used to. Still, though, some people want to call me out for stupid shit and I am gritting my teeth and trying to be cool. Being the self appointed Ambassador of Diplomacy kind of sucks. I think I’m over it.
If someone writes something you disagree with, I think most people are fine with you saying so, as long as you do so respectfully. Saying, “I feel differently” or even “I disagree with you” is fine. Telling someone they are stupid and ignorant because they happen to disagree is childish and retarded. Threatening them with a prison style tea bagging, even in jest, is just silly.
If you write something controversial, you can bet your ass that people will line up to disagree. And none of you are stupid, so you surely expect that. I have thought about writing an entry about why I am pro-abortion, but just don’t feel like opening that particular can of worms. If I DID, however, I would certainly expect a LOT of disagreement, if not flat out anger. I would have no right to then get mad at the people who felt I was wrong, when I knowingly wrote something that I KNEW would upset folks. Ya dig?
Lunamor is one of my favorite people on the planet, and she and I disagree all the time. We have argued, politely and respectfully, about all kinds of shit. We can do this because we both have some sense, and both make good points. Unfortunately, her points are usually better than mine, but then, she is a bitch.
Play nice, kids. We have a very cool thing going here at KCL and it would be a goddamned shame if people left or deleted because their feelings got hurt by a bully. I am unaware of this happening, or of anyone leaving (except Xanadu, and the door was politely held open for her upon her departure, then locked behind her).
Example of why KCL is awesome: our Betty was able to write about her poor husband being terribly sick, and she KNEW that she would get a lot of positive feedback from the good folks here. She did, of course, and I hope it made her feel better. That’s just the sort of place this is–we got it all. You gotcher tit shots, and your discussions of “testing it first”, and people have fun with it. But, you also have serious discussions and heartbreaking revelations.
If we are not respectful to each other then all that goes to shit, so everyone just Be Cool.
If you happen to be blissfully unaware of the latest round of foolishness, don’t ask me to point you in the right direction. Trust me–you missed nothing. Hopefully it will all go away and everyone involved will get back to doing what they do best, and HOW they do it best, whichever way it is that they enjoy.

The reason KCL is such a tightly knit community is a common bond of fear, arising from the private message each of us is sent by you threatening us with death if we attempt to leave. |

I just woke up. No, really, like half an hour ago, so I am blissfully unaware as to what was said by who and to whom it was said and blahblahblahblahblah. I think i’m still half asleep or someone spiked my tea, cause I just had way too much fun typing blahblahblahblah cause I figured out a rhythm in which to type it. Sad? oh yeah. Anyway, well said. |
