hey randolph. i want to address this post real quick and i hope that you understand i am not calling you out. its just that you said something here that need some further discussion.
(and kudos for coming to the defense of a lady, that is always a bonus)
i find that when i meet people that do really fucked up things, break the law, are abusive, are cruel,and you call them on it you hear "you dont know what i have been through" i hear it a lot, like a rough childhood is an excuse to be a bastard. it isnt. life sucks ass for everyone. its all the same shit storm and we have to weather it. now this obviously doenst apply to you, as you werent talking about yourself so no worries on that front.
i will go and read her blog/website in a second. but i can bet that she isnt the only person to have beaten up, raped, molested by family or pimped out by uncle. so if the majority of these people can have these really horrible things happen to them and move on, so can she.
the whole "i got beat up because i am gay thing" also has to stop. so what you got beat up because you are DIFFERENT. i got beat up because i wore glasses and liked D&D. shit i had to lick some kids shoes in high school, the BOTTOM in front of all sorts of people. i still have nightmares about it 17 years later. that shit strips your self esteem, but it doesnt give me an excuse to abuse others, to come into a forum like a human hurricane and spew my hate at everyone because i feel that life dealt me a bad hand.
its not an excuse for poor behavior. so i dont care where you have been, and what you have been through, what matters is what you are doing today, and what you will do with the time you have in the future. will you make everyone as miserable as you feel, or will you make life a better place by not being the kind of person that fucked you up in the first place
Again randolph, this isnt directed at you man, but mellissa, and any of the other haters who think they have the right to be assholes.
