It's OK

You have every right to say what you want to say.

You can't take responsibility for how other people react. It has nothing to do with your qualities as a person.

Now I realize violate conventions by using posts to speak directly to an individual, which does tend to mix things up more than a little...

But please do this for me: If you have something to say to me, which does not apply directly to a given post (or to a comment on one of my posts), then please use either email or chat.

I read email when I can, and when I'm online I am usually in Yahoo, MSN, and AOL all at once so I should not be hard to find. My addresses are all above. And if I didn't want you to use them, I wouldn't have put them where anyone on the 'net could see them.

Believe me, I *love* it when you perv me up make me quiver chat with me.

Please.

For me.

Thank you. I knew you would understand.
