Before you get too comfy, there’s a few things we need to go over first. Why? Because I’ve been on the Internet since 1996 and I notice nobody ever lets a little thing like civility or personal responsibility get in the way of having a good time. So, to avoid being sued or annoyed, I see I must cover my ass.
That takes quite a lot of doing these days, so don’t give me that “tl;dr” crap–read the whole page, all the way down to the bottom. I will assume any visitor has read this entire page so it is in your best interests to know what’s here. Also, read it again from time to time in case I update it.
General Disclaimer
I am not your mommy, your daddy, Aunt Flo, Uncle Jeebus, your granny, the press, the military, the government, organized religion, the Secretary-General of the U.N., the tinfoil hat aliens come to stick a probe up your butt, God, Satan, the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, nor Robert Atkins, MD come back from the dead to whup ass all over the PCRM for lying about how he died.
I am not here to validate you, hurt your feelings, or threaten your existence. You don’t pay me enough. I write, you read. If you don’t like what I write, you’re free to not read it. If you do like what I write, feel free to say Hi to me if you want. I have a low tolerance threshold for bullshit, but I like compliments and good conversation.
Yes, that means I’m sitting in my very own echo chamber. No, it does not mean I’m incapable of considering other points of view. If being harassed by people who clearly don’t like you is the only way you ever learn anything new, I feel sorry for you. Were you beaten by nuns in grade school too? I bet you didn’t know, but that’s not everybody’s experience in life. Calm down, son. Between your carby diet and your moral outrage, you’ll give yourself a coronary.
Even when someone usually agrees with me, that doesn’t mean I won’t call you on your shit if I think you’ve gone way over the line. This habit of mine has been an unpleasant shock to more than one person I’ve known in offline life. They thought they’d earned a free ride and found out otherwise. Don’t bullshit me, don’t bullshit yourself, and most importantly don’t bullshit people who are depending on you for advice, and we’ll avoid all that drama.
I can be your bestest bud or the biggest bitch you ever saw. I didn’t name this blog what I did for nothing.
