Pounding The Podium

So, after my last article about “where do we go from here” I’ve been kind of called out.  I won’t mention the source by name,  but they felt that I was been a little disingenous about my reasons for leaving Gretawire and coming out here to the land of safe blogging (well apparently not too safe as I got called out).

Basically I was told “Well, I guess you are in the right place now, where you won’t be criticized or disagreed with, as this is your real comfort zone, however not very conducive to being the writer that you want to be.  Try not to fall into the trap of thinking that your political stand prevents you from standing up to those who exhibit PERSONAL traits that are distasteful and ignorant.”  Fair enough and well said.  I do however stand by my statement that I find blogging and arguing with individuals to be a total waste of time.  Liberals don’t come on to Gretawire to be converted anymore than conservatives do, and if anyone ever got their affilation changed from reading someone else’s view on GW it would be a first.

Regardless, the reasons that I choose not to be criticized or disagreed with are that my passions run deep when it comes to some things, and my health is very poor and very fragile.  It was for this reason (primarlly) that I left GW in the first place.

But I am not afraid of sticking up for my beliefs, and I am not afraid of sharing those beliefs.  I will just have to avoid as many pointless ‘he said she said’ arguments as possible.  I still have a tough week to go through medically, but I will take this weekend to rest up and get ready to battle some more.  I guess the best thing I can say is the old cliche “be careful what you wish for”
