I Don't Know

I'm sorry for offending you, Heather and Douglas714. I had no idea that little song would cause such grief. I meant it as a random joke, like a Winnie the Pooh song. I wasn't trying to tell you how to live. I have never tried to tell you how to run your life, nor have I ever presumed to do so. If I come across otherwise, again, I am sorry.

I do feel your reaction was unwarranted. You've hurt my feelings very badly, and on purpose. My offense was accidental, although I'm not excusing myself from blame. Your comments are, however, the rudest and meanest things anyone has ever said to me. While I can see how my Ant Song could be construed as being negative towards you, your comments are very clear on their aim.

After some thought I have decided to continue this blog. If you find me preachy and offensive (which I very well may be) please do not read me any anymore. While I do like when you enjoy my blog, I don't write to please you. I write to please me. If what I say causes grief it seems natural that you know what to do.

I however, don't know what to do. Your responses have made me feel unworthy to practice anymore. I feel contemptible and that nothing will come to any good. I search and I search myself and I don't see the kind of person you seem to think I am. How do I know, though, ya know? And all over a stupid song about ants...

I am aware I'm repeating the mistake of blogging instead of an alternative means of communication. Why? I don't know. Probably the same reason you decided to call me an asshole and an egotistical conversionist on my blog instead of in private e-mail or face to face.

I guess we both want people to know when we're hurt.
