I prefer to think of myself not as a shit-stirrer
but
as a crap-defuser.
Very noble, very idealistic, but above all very futile. You're not going to change anyone's perceptions of anything by forcing your own on them. Rather you're going to get them digging their heels in.
I'm NOT forcing my opinions on anyone. I'm EXPRESSING my opinions. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, anymore than I'm sure Sally expects everyone to agree with her.
I like people who THINK about what they're
saying...
This whole tone reminds me of someone. A short and hairy hedgehog who has managed to get up more than nose in his wretched excuse for a life...
Um... explain please?
This also fits in badly, IMHO, with the whole "My Darling" thingy. ON the one hand you call him all these cutesy names, and
on
the other you want to beat him up? It's a weird mix of sugary sentiment
and
terrifying cruelty.
They have to beat him up to get away with calling him all these cutesy names. It's a way of putting him where they want him.
Ah. So... it's a question of control?
Neil (thinking of doing a zine sometime in which
no
story is allowed to
feature Avon or have him mentioned by name or
even
elliptically alluded to)
No, have him in there, please! Just write him well
and
honestly.
But the CJs who BUARA him think they are doing just that.
I'd dispute CJ. Many CJs *do* write him well and honestly. IMHO, anyway...
Neil (who actually enjoys Wendy's posts)
I'm sure everyone does, really :).
