alexandraerinFYI, I have some very awesome people in my life who are helping me to learn the importance of cutting people out whose presence isn't doing me any good and how to actually do it.
This, as much as diet and exercise and giving my body what it needs to overcome its own deficiencies, is part of my attempt to take create a healthy life for me.
There are a few people who come here seemingly just to irritate the shit out of me, and they do it the same way over and over again. I've never done anything about it because... well... I don't know that they're trolls, and in fact, I'm pretty sure they're not. But... they irritate the shit out of me. They know they're doing it because they keep getting the same reaction, and they keep doing the same stuff. When it happens, one of two things happen: I stop looking at my blog so I don't have to deal with them, or I completely derail what I'm trying to do in a day.
Actually, both of those things usually happen.
It really doesn't matter if somebody's a "troll" or not. There's just no good, no sane, no healthy reason for me to put up with this sort of thing. This is my space. This is where I come to unload my thoughts. It does serve an important function of letting people know what's going on with my life... when I have the spoons available to do so. Getting stuck in the same aggravating patterns with the same people isn't conducive to that.
So, I'm going to be making more frequent use of the ban_set command for this blog. The people who find themselves unable to comment... take it as personally as you like, I really don't care. It's not a ban from anything else I do unless you make it into one by taking your gripes there. I'm sure this will do wonders for my reputation as somebody who can't stand criticism and censors critics, but it's got exactly fuck and all to do with criticism and everything to do with interpersonal interaction. I'm not required to be anybody's "buddy" online.
