Reasoning

Jane Smith said:

Why should today be any different then yesterday or tomorrow. It seems like you are always thinking only about yourself and how things affect you.

This lovely comment was left for me yesterday, and is a clear illustration of many of my frustrations.

 

I know who the pseudonym “Jane Smith” belongs to – she is a relative of Kevin’s.  It is not the first time that she has left a vicious remark on this blog.  She feels compelled to judge me based on two meetings, but has never taken one moment to get to know me as a person.   This type of passive-aggressive action really pisses me off, which I am sure was the reaction that the writer had hoped for.  She is not a nice person, and I am glad that to know that I am never likely to see her again in my life.  Why she feels a continued need to interject herself into my life is a mystery to me. 

 

My friends and colleagues know me as a very giving person.  I tend to lack the ability to say no when asked for any kind of help.  Rarely do I ask for anything in exchange.  I run myself ragged trying to please others.  I am a veritable island.

 

Yesterday I was very sad.  Today I am sad.  My cat, Hugo is dead.  Don’t I have a right to feel and express my emotions?

    Billie,

    You have every right to express your feelings. That is what this is all about. I find it abhorrent that a relative of someone you know would leave a mean spirited comment on your blog.

    It is a credit to you that you posted the comment when you had a chance to not do it.

    I am unsure as to who Kevin is, or what his family is doing, but we at Citizen Wausau support you.

    Of course you have a right, and I hope you keep on expressing yourself. People like Jane Smith are called trolls in the blogging world, and they are sad creatures with too much time on their hands and cold hearts.

    I’m so sorry your kitty died. Hugo was a great name for a cat, by the way.

    Wow, someone who hardly knows you is compelled to write such spiteful things??

    Billie, your friends love and appreciate you – pay no attention to the silly twat behind the moniker…

    Thanks guys, I really just needed to vent and call this awful woman out. Your support is greatly appreciated.

    Ps – Dino, you have met Kevin more than once! Age must be catching up with you.
