chattyTopic: My Columns
OK, so I must comment on the recent events that have taken place in our room. Apparently, there is a divide between us regs, and I've been thrust onto one side. Being the most non-divisive mother fucker amongst conservatives and republicans, I find this a little crazy. But here's what happened as I see it... THE EVENT THAT STARTED IT ALL It all started in the early morning hours of Saturday, April 30, 2005. usabratt entered the room and broke the tragic news that a long time chat reg, blast_from_the_past, had deceased. Having nothing against usabratt (or anybody else)... I immediately believed it, felt bad about it, blogged about it, and created a guestbook site in his memory. Seemed harmless enough, but there has been alot of animosity going on in chat since. Apparently, there were false claims of chatter deaths in the past, and some didn't believe it. Questions were asked, and from what I've heard, the answers were contradictory. So the conspiracy theories started raging, calls were made to his family, which was not at all cool. And the in-fighing raged between warring factions and tensions ran high. Not since the Terri Schiavo case had I seen so much emotion and fury in chat. And that was between the dems and the reps, this was between reps and reps alone. THE GREAT DIVIDE How I became thrust into one group's side, was simply saying hello to certain chatters that were unliked by others. I was called a "fence sitter", because I refused to take a side of my own. I made the text statement to the effect, "I have no friends in here"... meaning I don't know anybody personally. Well, twas usabratt that took immediate offense, put words in my mouth, saying "kick doesn't care about anybody, he's iggyed." And that was that. And now, as far as I can tell... the side that's now "against me" consists of usabratt, med_, maybe trickle, sam, and a few others. The side that's now supposedly "with me", consists of mrs_feralcat, colasent, Alison, and a few others. THE SHIT I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT... Is what started all the strife in the first place, since I noticed the rift long ago. I never gave it much thought, until now that I've been thrust into the middle of all of it. I also have no clue of the treatment I'm going to get from those who were once friendly, and now seem to be in my opposing "clique". I haven't chatted with everybody since all this shit hit the fan, and I'm curious to see how my usual light hearted text, chat, smileys, links, and voice will be recieved. I think the immediate future is gonna be pretty interesting. THE FUNNY PART I have nothing against anybody in our little room, except the liberal fruitcake booters that gum up the works. This childish bullshit ain't gonna bother me, and it wont change my attitude for the people that now seem to have a problem with me. I chat for fun, I laugh at the lib losers, post the news of the day, play music, and read and listen to everybody else. I iggy nobody, not even the haters that enter with the ever-so-charming "Bush sucks" posts. I never went out of my way to make anybody like me, and I'm not going to start now. SO... If you were a friendly type last week, that don't like me now all the sudden for some bullshit reason - that's fine with me. I'm not losing an ounce of sleep over my chat room popularity, even as it seems to be cut in half. I'm no drama king, and never invested alot of worry about being liked, so if you gotta iggy me now, then iggy away. I can't believe the passing of who we all agree was a good guy has brought all this shit on. But I'm just gonna keep doing what I've always done in chat, enjoy it.
