Do you sincerely think that a opinion, i.e., suggestion, posted by someone I do not know a thing about, have never met nor spoken with, would assuage or encourage me to change or abandon whom I am as a person, my thoughts, opinions, beliefs, inclinations or anything whatsoever?
I suppose it might be possible if the individual attempting to do that was a sexy woman and I actually paid close attention and was open to embracing their comments. But from a stranger with zero association, and another guy too, it’s not likely and I’ll dismiss it because it is really inconsequential. It’s like taking advice from a stranger. You have to be pretty stupid and deserve whatever fate awaits you. However, that doesn’t imply always ignoring it either. What matters is how important is it and whether the other person has credulity. On both of those points you come up short.
Like Popeye, I am what I am. I do not pretend to be what I am not. You can accept or reject me but regardless, I’m not
reluctant to be the only oak tree in a forest of only pine trees. Have you ever received a like recently on a post you composed a couple of years ago? Gosh, I get them weekly and it tells me that someone either hadn’t previously read it or cared enough to click like. Sure, others may respond with a reply while the thread or posted reply is recent but years later tells me what I wrote was favorably viewed. I suppose that might not happen much for you or maybe it does?
You write for others to read, not for yourself. So if my penchant to be redundant or excessive troubles you, just ignore
me like I have done to 1/2 dozen other Azers so I never get to see what they write. I don’t miss seeing their comments and I sure as hell couldn’t give a damn what they had to write. It’s why I stopped posting in NPR. People aren’t going to
change because of anything anyone ever could post on this website. So I choose to just avoid assholes and maybe you should emulate my approach. Maybe look at it this way….put me on ignore……..I’ll stop being a nuisance or distraction.
