Newsflash: Live Journal isn't real life.
I try to conduct myself in the way that I want other people to act. I believe you should show by example, and so I try to make my Live Journal a happy place for myself and the people who want to be here. For the record, however, if you decide you don't like me because you don't like my stories, or the way I write, or the way I run my Live Journal, that's fine. This may come as a surprise, but I'm not doing it to make you happy. That's no reason not to respect me as a human being. There's no reason to be a gossip-mongerer about it. If you decide you don't like me, because you think you know me by reading this Live Journal, or you imagine I've done you wrong, or you've judged me and found me lacking in some respect, FUCK YOU.
