Guys? Please don't fight in my journal this week...

[conuly]

I've got finals. And I'm babysitting. I don't have time to babysit my journal too. Normally, I don't care *what* goes on in the comments, but this week isn't normal.

Thanks.

Take a week off from posting controversial topics? :P

[conuly]

Perish the thought.

Well, it certainly would elimate arguments.

Of course, I am not feeling very confident in some of the commentors' restraint after reading the ridiculous argument on the peterson entry. Though maybe I shouldn't say such a thing -- wouldn't want to get attacked as well. (This is where I would insert the eye-rolling smiley face that I love so much.)

[conuly]

I'll protect you. Promise.

I don't think this week is normal for anyone. Not anyone I know, anyway, including myself.

I promise not to fight in your journal this week *grin*

Aye aye, Cap'n!

You realize that you essentially just sounded the clarion call that will draw everybody on your f-list to come look (and participate in) the fight? *grin*

(I looked. I didn't see anything fun enough to participate in. Living in the whole Peterson-drama region has me totally burned out on the topic even though I don't even watch the TV! ;)

[conuly]

You hush. I should hope my friends care about me enough to not intentionally drive me batty this week.

Excuse the OT comment....

I realize you're busy this week, but I was quite dismayed at the television program my great-aunt was watching last night. (I looked it up and it's called "Everwood", broadcast on the WB.)

One of the subplots was a boy with abuse-type injuries--healed fractures, stories that didn't quite jibe with the injury, etc. Eventually he admitted that his brother was doing it.

Oh, did I mention the brother (never seen, as far as I know) was called simply "autistic" as the explanation and reason for the abuse, and the mother was being pressured to institutionalize him as the Solution to the abuse problem?

I haven't researched autism at all, but from passive exposure via your journal, this just set off the warning bells.

I deliberately avoid Everwood. Now I have a reason. Thanks, I think....

My mistake, I thought you posted a public article and asked for discussion. I'll remove you from my list.

[conuly]

I like discussion. I *don't* like some of my friends calling OTHER friends (this is you) trolls. However, since I could see that this was an issue that affected you much more than I'd previously guessed, I didn't want to actually name names and risk hurting anybody's feelings, or make it sound like I agreed with anybody's comments. So I thought I'd post a very general post (like this one) and, hopefully, stop the personal insults.

To be clear, I made this entry to protect you, because I didn't think it was fair for you to be accused of trolling and to be the only one on your side of the argument.
