Yesterday I wrote a very short entry about a MuMM which disturbed me, only one person read it, who cares. I'm glad barely anyone read it as i tried to very delicately tip-toe around what i saw as reprehensible behavior so as to not draw anymore ire and bashing. Last night i was so angry at myself i was disgusted. So here's ny real feelings and if anyone's mad, PFFFFFTTTTT!!!
How did we, myself included, becaome so cold and callous. Sure, whoever was 'saying goodbye' in this MuMM was looking for attention. Obviously they were looking for some positive attention!!!!! They were looking for a friend, a good reason to stick around. They wanted, and others before them have wanted, a little of the 'genuine' warmth some of us claim to dole out and they didn't even get any cold comfort. They held out their hand and we bit it!
I frequently get accused of forgetting there are real people on the other end of these machines. The folks, sharks, who tore that person to shreds until they actually fuicided during their MuMM never forgot there was a person at the other end of that machine, infact they seemed to revel in it! I know i'm not one of the 'cool kids' on this site, so please feel free to give me the 'as if' shrug. I have been lambasted for sticking up for liars, having my words and ideas twisted so i can be people's whipping posts... if everyone who knows me deletes me so be it. I will never abanndon anyone who's looking for a genuine friend. I will remain truthful and acerbic but not cruel.
To close let me say this about attention seeking. How many of us don't seek attention in some way. We buy VIPs, and then go and color our names. We use various primaries to make ourselves look better, the reds are the reds... we MuMM, we blog, we ask for bling, we are mildly suggestive and a million other things, FOR GODDAMNED ATTENTION!!!!!! So the next time someone seems a little desperate, like they really want to be in some crowd. Maybe, just maybe, bring them in. Give them a circle to run in.
