I don't want to TALK TO YOU!

I'm getting feelings like I should unplug myself from the feminist/anti-feminist blogosphere. Or maybe just the blogosphere in general. Not that it should be really hard, since I don't think my stuff gets a lot of circulation, but I've gotten to the point where I decided I'm not going to comment on anything. I don't actually like Internet fighting. It's frustrating, rarely ends in one party convincing the other of anything, and draws out rage far longer than I prefer. Plus, messageboards/chatrooms/LJ comms are one thing, but blogs/personal LJs give me the feeling like I'm barging into someone's house.

And then I think about making a post and then I decide no, that's bitchy and grudgewanky, and if they actually respond then I'm sinking MY time and energy into something I hate. But if I DON'T respond, then I go throughout most of the day going, "I can't believe those shits online said that where I happened to SURF BY AND READ IT! Good God I hate EVERYTHING!" And it's not even just the anti-feminists who are getting to me now. It's some of the feminists, too. But I know that's unreasonable because, like, I could stop reading.

Everything? Sometimes just because some people I don't like show up in the comments. I mean, I like (in a sense) going to these places like WFA and Shakesville. It's just a few people who ruin it.

DO THEY HAVE TO TAKE MY DAY ALONG WITH IT?

[sigh] I need to do something else with my life, I guess.

BTW, I actually like "When I Grow Up" by The Pussycat Dolls. But every time I listen to it, I think I hate myself a little more.

Tangling with Ginmar is just not worth it. That ass is convinced that serving her country as a soldier is a very broad trump card which makes her better (and her opinions far more valid) than anyone else, ever. She is completely logic-proof.

I must admit, when I see a topic that's likely to become argumentative, I scan for "trouble" user names before reading. It's just self-preservation.
