Anyway, thanks to the wonderful world of the internet, I have a vague idea now about what you’re talking about. I’d just like to caution the other parties involved that there’s such a thing as being too open on the internet. Just because you’re willing to divulge your private feelings in a public venue, doesn’t mean you have a right to publish these feelings when they impact on someone else. Just a thought. That’s probably enough judgemental bullshit from an uninvolved third party (hell, maybe 5th or 6th party at this point) observer.

Anyway, keep writing Lee. You have a talent and a following (at least one person strong), so come back soon.

Everything I stated in Mel’s post is still what I believe. I know I’ve hurt you/pissed you off to an incredible degree, and for that I apologize. I just hope you at least speak to Mel again, even if you never want to speak to me again.

These last few months have been the worst of my life, so my emotional state was never that well grounded to begin with. But I hate making excuses, so I’ll stop right there.

I will rescind my Live Journal post since I get the idea that it greatly offends you. I still respect you and all you’ve gone through. Although I do believe to a certain degree the things I posted there, what I failed to realize is that in fact you cannot defend yourself online. And I forgot that I was speaking of a friend.

Again I apologize.

Best post of yours I’ve read so far!

Especially hard-hitting are “one way avenue of communication”, “messages that should have been sent in private were made public” and “broadcast without filtering what you’re saying, and often without thinking much to the consequences of what you’re saying,” though I can’t say I have ever been so brash in any of my posts online as any of my “friends” were this week.

I could not have said things better myself in any way, and so I won’t. Nor will I ever begin to defend myself.

I’m glad you, at least, see the light.

Thanks for the post, Pokeroo!
