Just have to vent for a moment...

I HATE people who think it's okay to laugh at others' misfortune. Fair enough if it's some power abuser getting taken down a notch, especially if it's his own fault, but what is with the fucked up people who think it's funny when some guy gets hit in the nuts, or when someone takes a hard fall and breaks something?

And what's even worse, is when you ask people to please have compassion, and stop making fun of people who are in pain, they tell you to "lighten up" and stop harshing their fun.

So, let me get this right: it's okay for you to get off on someone else's crisis, but it's NOT okay for me to tell you you're being an asshole for doing so?

And of course, most of these cretins are the same people who think their "free speech" is being hindered if they're told to not use bigoted epithets, or kicked out of a private space for their disrespectful or mean-spirited behavior.

Bullying is not okay. Ever. And that's all this kind of humor is. Kicking someone when they're down is sadistic, and I refuse to condone that kind of behavior.

Journal housekeeping

Just some FYI-ing.

This is my primary journal. When I read my flist, this is the account I read it from. So if there are flocked entries you want me to have access to, this is the journal you'll need to have friended.

Also, I've gone back and flocked a lot of old posts here, simply because it would be uncomfortable to have an employer run across some of the personal stuff I've posted. Even though I never post my last name here unless it's flocked, I'd still rather not have it floating around out there.

If you want to read flocked entries on my uppityliberal (politics) or fanbitch (pop culture) journals, comment here, and I'll add you over there. Most of the stuff that gets flocked in those journals has to do with stuff that tends to attract wank I don't have the time or energy to deal with--usually intense-level feminist or fandom rantage.

I do post on those two journals regularly, so if you're not reading them, you're missing half my posts. ;)

I never post on any of my other journals anymore. msallegro was deleted some time ago and makesweetlove hasn't been used in over a year, and won't be. It's all locked up, so if you want to read archives there, you'll need to be on its already-existing flist. Otherwise, feel free to delete it, since it won't be updated.
