People confuse me... the very same people who can be total assholes to me one moment turn around in the next and make a nice gesture like telling me to take my time replying and that I should rest and get over my cold and not apologize for having a real life, or sincerely apologize for coming across as belittling when they hadn't mean to be.
It makes it really awkward when I still have to reply to one of the posts that one of them was being an asshole in... how do you balance your rather angry reaction to someone accusing you of not continuing your education after highschool solely on the basis of you not knowing that America is technically a republic, when you were taught it was a democracy while in the american public education system, with that same person being nice to you when you're sick?
People who are flaming you should not be allowed to cheat and turn the issues on their heads by being nice to you after the flame but before you've replied. It's really not fair.
Edited 4/11/03: And sometimes they really are just assholes to begin with and you should know better than to be suckered in by the nice gestures.
Final Edit 4/12/03: Made public because I don't feel like letting the statements of others hide behind the privacy of my LJ filters.
