It's all so basic: Don't be a dick.

One way to avoid LJ drama: Take more than just your own feelings into account.

Goodbye Lloyd, but I guess you've already said so yourself.

I know, I know. Don't invent drama! But it still hurts a bit. Not gonna ruin my life, but it stings. I'm not going to mis-represent my feelings for the purpose of seeming more attractive. Too many people seem to do that, I mean in life in general. I, however, would like to take the higher moral ground.

And if you rabbidly disagree, well, I probably wouldn't like you anyhow!

Amen. It's really easy to get so involved in your own stuff and be unaware of what's around you (well, not you, but the general you).

But, likewise, what's the point in sugarcoating how you feel about something? I feel that it's going to come out anyways; there's no use in pretending that it's not there, especially for any sort of gain.

Exactly. I think people misunderstand. They think sensitivity implies a lack of confidence.. masculinity. And apparently us "bears" are all about "masculinity without the trappings".

Bleh, anyhow, it's easy to be sardonic about it all. But when it comes down to it, unwillingness to comprimise is way more sexy to me.

Not that I'm going to stop thinking and just pour depression into my journal now. But I think I nipped what could have been an editorial colouring in the bud.

I couldn't agree with you more. That was more or less along the lines of what I was saying in Part one of my last post. It just is getting out of hand the amount of drama that people are bringing on....Hope your doing well. Things are ok here. Miss ya loads man....

In my ever so humble opinion, sugarcoating is pointless because how you truly feel comes through in what you do, say, intone, react against, or which words you choose. It's a meaningless exercise which is more trouble than it is worth.

Besides, if we would all buck up and face the reality of what we really thought of each other now and then, we'd all be better people. Again, just my two little pennies here.

Welcome to the dark side, kiddo. ;-) Seriously, though, better to be respected for who you are than liked for who you are not.

And that's quite the woofy new pic, by the way. The full beard looks good on you.

(see. I do read your journal. Even if I don't comment often.)

Thanks lord vader. I'm all for the dark side if it means being honest. That is honest, but still tractful.

Oh, and thanks for the compliments. I'm getting used to the full beard. I was freaked out by the look at first but it's growing on me, so to speak.

(and yes, I still keeps tabs on your journal too)

Peace
