I’ve done it again…
[UPDATED]
…innocently insulted, angered and alienated another drive-by commenter.,I had a “friend” invite today, from someone in California, using MS Internet Explorer, according to Footprints, referred from a link on myspace, who appeared to have just registered with Xanga so she could comment on my old post about Romeo the friendly black wolf in Juneau. I’m not sure what impelled the “friend” request. Maybe she thought of it as the beginning of a collection.
Here is our exchange:
Absolutely geourgous [sic] creature is Romeo! I would be devastated if he ever got harmed! I think maybe we should shoot Governor Palin.. that is what I think!
Not really.. about shooting Palin. But she disgusts me by shooting wolves!
@se_deyo – I’m guessing you’re not an Alaskan. If you were, you would have ever so many more reasons for being disgusted with her.
@SuSu – I’m sorry but somehow you failed to understand what I said. I said “Not really.. about shooting Palin. But she disgusts me by shooting wolves!”. I was joking about that she should be shoot. Your reply to my post suggests that I’m a supporter or fan of Palin. How you came to the idea is beyond me? If your into shooting Palin then that is your business and I would be happy to be the individual to pull the lever during your state of execution. If your expectations are that I would make a laundry list of actions I don’t support that she has made you must understand that your whims of fancy aren’t going to be met and your delusional to think that others can read your mind. There must be something wrong with you, seriously.
@SuSu – And another thing…
Stop being a hater. It’s ugly. I’m a good person that has a huge heart and very active in charities that include ASPCA and Christian’s Childrens [sic] Fund. You have no cause or reason to be rude to me. People that attack people for no reason are just as wrong at people that destroy or abuse the earth and animals. [sic and emphasis added] You seem to be a very bitter and unhappy person. That is of your doing and I won’t feel sorry for you.
@se_deyo – If anyone has been rude here, it was you. Read those comments again: “she disgusts me by shooting wolves!” and “more reasons for being disgusted with her.”
I was agreeing with you, and adding that there are many other reasons. I did not imply what you inferred.
I am not “a hater” but you are obviously fearful, irritable, touchy, hypersensitive, defensive and miserable. Have you considered psychotherapy?
I’m happy. Doesn’t that just irritate the hell out of you?

She’s definitnely jump to conclusions, and gone overboard on the frustration level. eeks.
Perhaps this “friend” is unaware that even suggesting shooting someone in a high political office is reason for her/him to be hunted down and arrested by some nice people based out of our nation’s capital. Asking you if you agreed with said ‘plot’ would have made you a co-conspirator. Sometimes I wonder just who some people are and why they say such stupid things. It doesn’t make you wonder, doesn’t it? BTW, I think you handled this very nicely. Make that does make you wonder.
Gosh! How dare you, you, you…..happy person, you!
@Tyche - Thanks for that. You’ve sent me away from this desk with a laugh. *exit giggling*
@History_Nut - Something of that sort was the first thought to cross my mind when I read that. Even joking about assassination on the web is like joking about a bomb in an airport.
you do have to be careful what you say where these days…
what a nut! i love your last line “I’m happy. Doesn’t that just irritate the hell out of you?” how true that is for a lot of people!
LOL Maybe it is ole Palin herself!
What a weirdo!
I LOVE your final response
You are the best.
Also giggling at Tyche’s comment…
all I can do is sit here and shake my head in wonder
you sure do bring out the best in some people
Oh Kathy, don’t argue with people with lower than average IQs. It’s not seemly.
Wow. You provocateur, you.
I sometimes think I could live a million years and people would not cease to amaze me.
Hmm… misunderstandings happen. Since the internet lacks body language and vocal intonation, sometimes people just use their imaginations. This has happened to me before, and I calmly explained to the other person how they were misinterpreting my words with their initial judgement. Pretty soon we were all good. (this was via. email with someone I know IRL, just for some background there)
Compassion and understanding make for a better approach.
The Dalai Lama is a smart cat.
BWAHAHA!!! I love your last line!
“I’m happy. Doesn’t that just irritate the hell out of you?”
That is why we love you.
Seriously, I laughed for ten minutes on and off about that line.
Oh Hel, that’s funny.
But in reality, I am a bit dissapointed in you for engaging in a battle of wits with one so obviously unarmed. Bad form.
This is the perfect place to incert the Twilight Zone theme music. Keep that happy flowing!
See and I like it when you point out things I had not thought of…not that I always agree with you but you do help me see sides of things I overlooked which is not a bad thing helps me keep on my toes
That person is just one of those that play at xanga and being enlightened
@fairydragonstar - That’s something I like about you. I like it a lot, because you impel me to think more deeply about things, too.
