disclaimer

ok, here we go again. i have said this before, but this time i shall make myself eminently clear, since making this blog public seems to have visited grief on all of us in some way shape or form.

1) things written on this blog are NOT about you. unless:
a) your name is in the entry
b) the entry is unambiguously about an event of which you were a participant
c) the entry links to a page created by you or about you

2) like the hippies of yore, i am all about the love. i only sound bitter because the world often snows me under with unkindnesses and bad chinese food.

3) if you leave a snarky/caustic comment on my comments board, you are fair game for my sniping back at you.

so can we please get along? i believe in free speech as much as the next person and i don't want to have to shed tears of blood and tear away my flesh every time i write an entry because i have to consider the myriad ways i might be delivering a crushing blow to your ego. if you have been given the url to this page, i think that you are in some measure a special person to me, and it matters to me that you're not hurt, especially not by me.

i know what it's like to hurt.

so please please please IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU
