words hurt more than people think

So today at work there was a conversation about blogs and I had said that I needed to update mine. Well the response I got not only caught me off guard but it truely hurt my feelings. The comment was " not that you have anything important to talk about. Who would want to read about how you 'took a poop' this morning? " why would someone feel that they can say that I have nothing important to talk about. Everyone has things that are important to them even if other people don't care. People still deserve respect. Ya know there have been things that I have read on other peoples blog or on my family website that aren't important to me but obviously if that person wrote it it was important to them or it interested them, and I respect that. So that comment that was made to me I feel was disrespectful, inconsiderate, demeaning, and down right rude. Just because you feel that you are better than everyone doesn't mean that you are. We are all equals and we all have feelings that need to be considered before we speak, hopefully before we lose friends and hurt their feelings. I feel that no matter who reads this if anyone, blogs are a place to write our feeling, our experiences, our joys, and our heart aches. And that is the way my blog is going to be and if people don't like or think that what I say isn't important..... WELL KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!! If don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!!!

  1. Well my original thought was that 90% of blogs are people just talking about how everyone hates them and nobody understands. If you've read blogs, you'll know what I mean. I have a couple blogs and nothing I say matters. The only reason I say them is a desperate cry for attention and, laughingly, those blogs drive people away.

    But I am sorry I hurt your feelings. That wasn't my intention, but I wish you had spoken to me before posting this. Now you're going to get a lot of reinforcement from your readers about how I'm such a bitch and a retard and stupid, which is fine, because as you said "if they don't have anything nice to say, maybe they shouldn't say it".

    Hmmm irony?

  2. I agree that everyone has important things to say. It may not be important to EVERYONE but it sure is important to someone!
