Reply #12: I don't like confrontation and unpleasantness anywhere, so

[pipi_k]

I'm pretty much the same here as in RL, where the only times I ever say things like "Fuck off", "Fuck you", "Stick it in your ass", etc. are when I'm yelling at the TV.

I've never said those things to anyone here (or on any message board, actually) although I have thought them. I guess I'm just way too concerned with what others think of me, you know?

Although if someone wants to be a total fool, I can be pretty snarky. Or, I should say, uppity. Like schoolmarm talking to a bratty little kid who thinks he knows everything.

I do try to respect others in the same way I want to be respected, and when it looks like I haven't, it's mostly a misunderstanding and I'll try real hard to fix it.

In the end, I just try to be as respectful as I'd like others to be toward me. But sometimes the cranky old lady (Maxine) comes out and she doesn't like being messed with. ;)
