you see, here's the thing. i wasn't snarking. that was meant to be sincere, yet everyone here seems to assume that all posts are to be read sarcastically. i really do think that wikipedia is a wonderful invention. cowboy is a term of endearment, used in reference for that guy's enthusiasm, which i like. i was trying to encourage him, not put him down.
i shouldn't have to apologize for trying to help, and i certainly shouldn't have to apologize for trying to be encouraging.
this is really the last straw. i'll be deleting my LJ, because this level of snide negativity (not just in this community but all throughout LJ) is awful and i hate it. you'll probably continue incorrectly thinking i'm an unkind person and say, "good riddance," but i've only ever been trying to be helpful. the only reason i'm bothering to write this now is that i hope it might get through to you and others reading it that you just can't talk to people this way, and you can't assume the worst of others. would you be like this in real life? i certainly hope not. i hope you are more respectful to those around you.
this is all a good reminder of why i chose to move away from the toxic davis square community, and go to a place where kindness is valued over caustic wit. i guess it hasn't changed. it's a shame.
