No compromises

[fingertrouble]

I have a talent for offending people online.

I don't mean to, just that the unguarded uncensored me tends to do that here. In person I can say the exact same thing & not cause even a raised eyebrow.

I used to tear myself up about it, argue with these people, get upset. I even used to edit my posts incessantly (still do, it's a hard habit to drop), trying to leech out any inflammatory material (not that it really helped).

Not any more.

I'm tired of excusing who I am & trying to fit in with the dull lifeless pedantic morass. I want to be me and not have to argue about it cos some humourless prick doesn't get it, or me.

I'm not going to go around intentionally offending people, my humour may hit home rather too well sometimes; I never intend malice, but I'm going to try and stop worrying when it does happen, or self censor myself.

If people don't like that, it's not my fault.
