Take your hate and go away

My recent exchanges with a reader have forced me to write this new post.

Listen, this is MY BLOG. I get to say what I want to say. It is intended for a specific audience — my friends and family and others who find the content of interest. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. I didn’t ask you to subscribe or follow me.

If you have an opposing opinion, I welcome a DISCUSSION, not a fight. I left social media (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, et al.) as a result of the toxic environment there. I don’t need that kind of bad ju-ju in my life.

On the other hand, If you have a valid point of view that you can explain without calling me crazy or stupid, I would like to hear it. Calling me names, however, is not going to convince me of anything other than that you cannot construct a logical argument without resorting to badmouthing and bullying. That makes you a moron with whom there is no point of interacting.

I do not have the energy for that.
