But I do try to shy away from confrontation or hurting someone's feelings. One the other hand, I'm trying to "own it" more as well, so I'm working on it LOLMichelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-41328547342705369222010-11-04T10:03:50.692-07:002010-11-04T10:03:50.692-07:00Oooooh!!!

Here's hoping whoever said that realises that it's better to be honest and to defend his or herself honestly than backpeddling - cos it just makes things worse for them!<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-78112467842651911412010-11-04T08:41:31.036-07:002010-11-04T08:41:31.036-07:00I feel like shouting my agreement but you wouldn&#...I feel like shouting my agreement but you wouldn't hear it anyway.

Everyone likes different things, that's why there are different books, and genres. I like this, you like that, no biggie!

It's like a hyper-cruel version of high school online. People actually say stuff like, "If you love [whateverIhate] you should die." It's kind of shocking to somebody used to the friendly writerly blogosophere. :) <br /><br />If you don't know what Amparo's talking about, go to a Twilight fan board and say you love either Edward or Jacob more than the other. You'll soon get an eyeful. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this, Amparo! You rock! Always keeping it real, and that's what I love about you.Katrina L.
