what a waste of brain space, really

when I checked my email this morning, I found a page long insult from some random person on youtube in my personal folder. apparently, having an opinion and trying to share it is very uncool on this site. he called me all kinds of names and let me know that he was right, and I was wrong. period. when I made the redundant effort of trying to tell him that this isn't exactly how I am used to debate, he called me another twenty names. which I looked up and therefore know now, just that I fear I might not really be the person to ever use them. I mean, ok, it's my own fault really, why the hell did I have to comment on anything at all, in the first place. but then I thought, I am open minded (I guess), and I try to be fair and make my points clear whilst trying to understand the others'. so why not expect that from others, as well. but that concept seems pretty lost on some people. I am just angry now how much time and thought I actually wasted, as this guy was never interested in argueing with me, he just wanted to load his big shit upon some idiot who would let him. didn't make me feel so good. and there is so many people like that. anonymous bloggers and members of some web communities, who on the one hand hide everything that might tell you anything real about them, but on the other hand post their oftentimes crude views on some matter and demand to be taken seriously.

get a grip, people, stand up for what you have to say, for crying out loud.
