See, I read this and a few things come to mind. The first is that I never claimed to be smart and different, those are two qualities that you thought of for me, therefore I’ll actually take them as compliments.
The second is that I have trouble seeing when exactly I was intolerant. I’m assuming you refer to something recent? If it’s my comment about U.S comedies bashing Canada, I only gave my opinion on the writers of those jokes (that actually ARE intolerant!) and I think most people would agree that I was simply defending the country I live in. If it’s my comment about how it annoys me when people don’t put any effort into writing what they think and do so in the tags section, that’s just me giving my opinion on a subject, it’s not being intolerant. If you’re going to create a blog and post content, shouldn’t it make sense that you try to make it presentable and pleasant to read? It’s as if I reviewed a book saying it wasn’t good and you told me I was intolerant towards the author. If you were referring to something else, honestly you’ve been so vague that I can’t answer your question at this point.
And finally, your message gives me the opportunity to give my opinion on anonymous messages like this one. It’s easy to attack others while anonymous, you can say whatever you want without any consequence to yourself. And just to make it clear, I won’t waste time with every anonymous attack I receive on my blog. I’m just using your little jab at me to state what I think of it.
When I review something or give an opinion, it’s in my blog. People can read, watch or listen to it and form their own opinions based on what I’m sharing, be it something serious or just a light geeky subject. But more than that, they can also in turn look at the quality of my own blog and review it. I’m not hiding. If I write about something, I accept that others might disagree. In fact I’ve had some very fun (and polite) exchanges with people who disagreed with me on certain subjects. They could reach me and I could reach them and in some cases they made me see different points of view.
Your anonymous comment however, leaves me indifferent. It’s vague. It’s anonymous. It’s cowardly. It’s not even clear what it is that offended you. For all I know you might even just post from blog to blog doing this to others just to see their reaction while giggling to yourself. I don’t know. I don’t care. You’re just an excuse that came along for me to address this subject.
I am always willing to discuss subjects on which others might disagree with, as long as they are polite. Not hiding will also go a long way for me to actually consider what it is you have to say.
