Addressin' the edge of curiousness...
(This is not a rant, just an observation) :)
Over the past couple of months, I've been made aware of two opposing thoughts from other people about me:
1. I've changed. I'm not as "in your face" as I used to be. I don't use the eff word unless it's absolutely warranted. I'm still outspoken, still opinionated, still write what I think. But my mood has been softened by an anti-depressant that I started back in 2009 when I moved to the east coast and received Medicaid. Some have told me they've noticed a difference for the better. That's ... nice to know. ::makes funny face:: Not sure if I should be flattered or offended. :-p
2. No one's bothered to notice the change and still tell others to avoid me. *sighs* How in the world am I supposed to get back into fandom with that kind of attitude? I dunno. Lies are told, too, though I doubt they're on purpose. I've flamed people, but from my own seat and not gone on other people's journals to do it. OTOH, there are some who can't tell the difference between a flame and an opinion. Ah well.
Anyways, I thought I'd mention this in case any one out there was worried about talking to me or being seen talking to me. Yeah, all kinds of peoples are out there. ;)
So I'll end with this, and with a pleasant smile: I am only responsible for what I say, not for what others understand. :)

I do know you now though and I agree you are outspoken and opinionated, but aren't we all? In my opinion, it takes guts to do it in public. Others, myself included, will criticize privately.
So, anyone who comes under the second category should just give you a chance. Maybe you did piss them off, I don't know, but I ALWAYS believe people deserve a second chance.
That's my personal opinion.

LJ and DW are much quieter places now so interactions I think are less and I'm the first to admit my emailing and contact is pants some weeks...ups and downs in life hit us all....not everyone is going to like us and the longer we hang around in fandom I think the more we know it...I certainly do...I'm not as well liked by some of the newer factions because I'm outspoken on fan behaviour, but that's their loss not mine......I count the amount of years I've stayed in touch with true good friends as important..
Love ya hon...always have, always will...
