ah, LJ politics.

So I just had comments of mine DELETED from someone's journal. I had a brief moment of indignation, but now I feel sorta proud. Perhaps that means I really hit home. Or something.

And in return, I decided to drop them from my friends list (not because I think they care -- in fact, they're probably relieved!), but because I should just avoid things that have the possibility of raising my blood pressure and investing in someone who doesn't give a damn. I guess I have learned something since my early days on the net when I would have week-long flaming wars with folks.......

What kills me though is that I was totally polite and just tried to be honest and present an alternate viewpoint. But I guess I'm too "politically correct" i.e. I have a sense of humanity and I'm able to retain that with my humor. Which is pretty damn funny, if I do say so myself. ;)

I guess this is part of my larger movement to not involve myself with queers or trannys solely because they're queer or tranny. That's not enough to have in common.

i find myself often on the left radical fringe of most groups i am a part of, and it just keeps getting proven to me over and over again.

yes, it *is* individuals over labels!!
