Sol: No worries. As long as it doesn’t happen again, I’m okay with that. People do all sorts of things on the blogosphere without knowing any better. Just glad that you’re fine with abiding by my request.

What amazes me is the level people stoop to just to take the time and effort to say horrible things about you .. if it’s so bad .. just move on!

Mark: I love what you just wrote. Especially this: “What someone says about me doesn’t make me who I am.” So, so, true!

Jo: Thanks. Of course I don’t mind. It’s my honour.

hope you dont mind if i link you up.

First Things First – thanks for your comment yesterday

Now, on this topic – hmmm – trying to keep it in the first person eh? You can call me a nutter any time you’d like! I accept that there will always be someone with thin skin, someone with an axe to grind, someone who has a differing opinion etc. etc. Makes the world go ’round.

But – I won’t adapt myself to them unless they have been able to prove to me that they have the experience to back themselves up and that experience has worked for them in a positive way. The comment you received appears to me to be a personal opinion. Probably has some basis in fact or personal experience. But doesn’t need to be forced on anyone.

I deal with “mentally challenged” folks every day and I am one. I’ve learned that “The Truth Will Set Us Free.”

Stigma is societized psycho-babble and its a shame that anyone buys into being stigmatized. I learned not to judge my insides by someone else’s outsides. What someone says about me doesn’t make me who I am.

And we move on…

Have a great day!

Mark
