Originally, this post was a follow up to another. I decided to delete the first one, because it was not some of my best words. It was petty and angry. I dislike pettiness and find anger to be only effective when used with control and purpose–which negates the nature of itself; but that is another discussion.
Bottom line, I did not like the author who wrote that post. So, this being my own blog, I did away with the offending words. Maybe at some level I had some real issues to discuss. But, I am certain I could have written them more effectively and not in a diatribe. Enough said. This ended up being a close reading of my own words–very useful. The end is not near at all.




I am the same person who had the original exchange with you. I, too, went over the top and was unnecessarily petty. I am definitely impressed to see your edited post here, and in reconsidering your choice of words, you’ve caused me to reconsider my own. I definitely think it was a worthwhile exchange to have, though I will try to be more temperate in my wording next time.
Take care and best wishes,
