Explanation

[author_by_night]

Okay.

I made a post, and I'm aware it was generally bitchy, controversial, and otherwise could be taken as an insult.

I do apologize that it came out that way. But it wasn't really like some people took it - and maybe that was my fault.

I don't have SQ87. I don't have Sugar Quill. I'm annoyed with some people at the site.

Compare it to a family; I love my family to death, but do I sometimes have issues, and need to vent? Absolutely. Doesn't mean there's no love.

I also know sometimes I give people the impression I'm a miserable, unhappy person. I'm actually happy,I guess I just vent a lot here when I need to.

I'm sorry I offended/worried. 

I do wish I could be more cheerful more often here.

*hugs* word to the rant (you're right, some of the fics on SQ need to be rebetaed, and the sub/87 thing can be insanely obnouxis) and to filter, you have to first have groups. (Friends tools, edit create groups, choose who you want on the filter.) and then choose custom under the security level.

Anything else? Yes I think you're overreacting. You act like you did something wank worthy and are backtracking cause you got caught on it.

I don't think anyone thought that you hate SQ or SQ87. I think some people thought you were being unfair.

That said, I'm sorry if I overreacted in the heat of the moment. I tend to get extremely defensive of SQ.

What post? Oh, did you delete it? Hmm. I didn't see it, I don't think.

I know what you mean, though. I mostly post about stuff to vent, and I know I must sound so depressed and woebegone, but in reality I'm normally really happy. *shrug*

Now I'm wondering if what (or whom) was annoying you was the same as what irked me...;)

I'm filtering it, actually. I was just annoyed at a certain admin at SQ, and some people took it wrong, because as usual I flew off the handle, and made it look like I was saying "OMGSQSUX."

I'd rather just forget the whole thing. God. Why can't I keep my mouth shut.

And now everyone probably thinks i'm playing the "OMGSOSORRY" game, which I'm not. I'm only sorry it was taken the wrong way, and that I didn't filter for people I knew would be offended.

I just barely got to read your entry before you filtered it - I didn't even get to the comments. I don't hate the 'Quill either, they have great fanfiction, and the greater portion of my flist is thanks to the site...but I agree with 95% of what you said. I'm just surprised to hear that the sub-stuff is still going on...I thought maybe it had died out after all this. I suppose that was one of the reasons I sort of drifted away...sort of felt out of the loop when it came to inside jokes. It felt like 2 groups - those who knew, and those who didn't. Sometimes it demanded so much time to be "in the know" - such as doing all that research to find the meaning of 87. I just didn't want to 1). jump on the bandwagon 2). exclude people in order to feel like I belonged and 3). spend all that time which I just didn't have. Anyway...this is just what I feel. Sorry for any unintentional offense.

*hugs*

I didn't read your previous post, but I do think that sometimes you overreact to certain issues. Perhaps, I am ignorant when it comes to SQ/SQ87 thing because I am not so involved in it (the way I used to). But I do know not to let online drama to get to me. RL drama is enough, I do not need any other unnecessary dramas. :)

Don't let it bother you so much, yeah? *hugs*

I don't know what post you're talking about, but I know you and I really find it hard to believe that you offended anyone.

SQ is wonderful, but nothing can be perfect, and it's fine that you need to vent once in a while.

And you don't give me the impression that you're unhappy. Don't worry too much about what we all think of you - we know everyone needs to vent once in a while. *hugs*

This is first and foremost your journal, say what you want in it.

People were actually giving you crap for that post? Uh, what?

Come on people, that's so high school. Everybody play nice, there's no need to get touchy. Especially not over a fan site. Jeez.
