Apparently my warnings of lack of censorship are falling on “deaf ears”. I have posted on numerous occasions that I write freely and I only edit grammatical mistakes if I can catch them. If you have an issue, email me. I will however, not change anything that I don’t think I should because I said it, I obviously meant it and I am not going to apologize for it. I created this blog, this is my work — if you have issue with it, do not read it. Who is forcing you to do so? Let me know and I’ll make a call and fix it for you. I don’t believe in apologies and if I disagree on someone else’s blog or post and I choose to comment, I make it non-confrontational and just state how I think or feel. If it is more than that, I email them if they offer contact information. If I don’t like what they’re saying, I don’t read it. I think I deserve the same respect.
I’m not here to gain 2.5 million followers. I am not here to gain acceptance. I am not here to cater to everyone’s feelings. This is me. Like me or don’t, I’m 27 years old and I don’t think you, a stranger, can make me change how I act, what I say or who I am. I don’t think I can of you.
So please. Back off, take a relaxative and stop making me feel uncomfortable in my own place to vent and share my thoughts. I’m an acquired taste and if I don’t suit you, leave. I accept all opinions, but I will not take anyone’s bullshit.
Just to give you an example: A certain unmentionable titled her post to the effect of Sandy should wipe out Florida. I was offended a little as this person lives up north and this post was well before Sandy hit anywhere, but was on her way. I did comment, but it was with sarcasm because even though my initial reaction was to be upset that she’d say some shit like that, I realized she is who she is. Unfortunately, the area in which she is around was where Sandy basically landed. I did not rip into her (I like her as she too is an acquired taste) and it didn’t make me feel as if she were being insensitive because I knew her writing. It’s also ironic that she lives in a state I’m not very fond of, but it’s for frivolous reasons.
This is the U.S. (where I live). We have freedom of speech and you don’t have to like mine. I’m not going to apologize for anything that is written and published here so please do not expect it unless you like holding your breath.
Peace, Love & Happy Treez.
PS. This is nonnegotiable.
I agree. Be you and don’t apologize for it or your art. Well said.
Thank you, doll.

That is the best quote ever! Who knew Mr. Griffin could be so smart.
I always appreciate your honesty, and your views.
Yep, he’s a genius.
Thank you, merbear. You’re always so very kind and I really appreciate your blog. Both of them.
Yeah I am kind. Damnit…LOL thank you hon.
You are strong and fearless. I admire that, and I love reading your posts even when I don’t agree with you.
Aw, thank ya! I fell the same way.
You GO girl. I always feel goofy when I say that, but it’s true. I totally agree with you. No matter what we say, someone is going to get offended. Like you said, they don’t have to read. I’d have to add that I’d prefer not to have emails either. Ya don’t like it, just stop reading my stuff. I’ll get over it. I have a lot of great people that read my stuff, and whose stuff I enjoy. Big blogosphere and so on. Stay true to yourself. I’m working on doing the same!
Thanks, boo! You know how we do.
Though if you want to email me to shoot the bull or whatevs, that’s great. I’d love to get an email that wasn’t trying to sell me Viagra.
wow! simple plain talk! No crap, no bullshitting. I loved your way of writing.
Thank you! That is a much appreciated comment right there.
I like your standards

Yeah! You tell em! I’m assuming there’s a way to block people on wordpress, if people get too annoying just block block block. By being yourself and having standards and style you attract people who really dig you, when you try to pander to everyone you don’t please anyone, least of all yourself.
So I absolutely agree with everything you said in your post, and I believe any other reasonable person would too
Keep it up!

Fuck the haters. Do your thing. You can either be a second tier imitation or a first tier you. Be first tier.
