I've been debating about writing this for about 2 or 3 days now because quite frankly, I dont feel I should have to justify or explain my writing to anyone, like anything else in life, it is what it is, take it or leave it, the choice is always up to you, the reader. Well, the latest round of bullshit concerning my writing is the following - apparently, the significant other of one of my fellow Hiv/AIDS activists is under the impression that the fellow activist of mine that I briefly ranted-n-raved about in my World AIDS Day piece - as well as in previous entries mentioning said individual - is none other than his partner. Oh my friggin gawd, nothing could be further from the truth. I did tell this person that, that no, it was not their partner to whom I was referring to; however, that did not suffice. Look, I may not mention people's specific names when I pick a bone with them in my writings but that's outta mere respect for the other individual's privacy, it's that plain-n-simple. Whenever I have a problem with anyone I take the matter up with them directly and if that doesnt resolve the issue then yes, sometimes I do write about it in my blog but that's for my own personal theraputic purposes and quite frankly, I shouldnt have to explain that to anyone. I repeat, I never mention other peoples' names, but that's strictly outta common decency and civility.
With all this being said, I'll take this one step further but that's all because again, I think this is just totally ridiculous. I mean, Hell's Bells, if this blog upsets anyone that much then they need to simply stop reading it. Damn. That's a shame, justa filthy shame. People really do need to get a hold of themselves. So anyways, here's the skinny - and I'll try to make this as crystal-clear as I possibly can. The Hiv/AIDS activist to whom I have referred to repeatedly, to whom I have several times called out on his hypocrisy, his pompous arrogance, his unfounded vanities and his overtly flagrant, egomaniacal behavior is NOT from Canada. Okay? Is there anything about that statement which anyone does not comprehend or understand? My Lord, I truly wish I had even a quarter of the time to worry about the petty bullshit that some of you out there have time to worry about. I really do, it must be nice to be able to make something as precious as time into a simple luxury. Wow, and just when I thought I had all the answers to life all gathered up. Damn.
So anyways, unless it's a major crisis of unimaginable proportions, this is the LAST time that I am going to be explaining where I stand in my posts. Dont get me wrong, I dont mind folks commenting or having questions about anything I write about; in fact, I actually encourage everyone out there to react and respond if they feel inclined to do so. However, if anyone is gonna lamblast and castigate me without allowing me to respond to their inquiries and/or insinuations, then that is totally unacceptable behavior in my eyes and I will not tolerate it. Enough said.
