(28,480 posts)1. Where I am it's going to be warmer tomorrow.
The weather is not the same everywhere. Are you in Georgia? Alaska? Nebraska? Arizona? South Korea? Brazil? Help me out here.
I am really annoyed when people post stuff like this without bothering to say where they are.
And as noted in my OP, it will be warmer here tomorrow. Where's here? Should I bother to say?

(5,208 posts)2. Did you feel better after writing this post?
Would it make you feel better if you knew that criticisms like this are devastating to this poster, who, if you had read some of her other posts would have made you ten times more sensitive?
Most regular readers of hers know where she lives, and her primary message was to wish people a good night and to stay warm if its colder where they are too.
If you knew that posts like this trigger many things and take the joy and innocence of posting away, would that make you feel better?
Is it that fucking important for someone to write to your approval or they can face insults and demeaning posts in response from you?
I'm really really pissed because I know how much you hurt her with this. If you need to be mean and belittling to others to make yourself feel better, please seek help. If not, maybe you can be a tad more selective with your snarky putdowns of others.
What you did with that post is abuse. You may not have intended that, but when you trigger others with your words, actions or intent, it's abuse to the victim.
Please spare me the how should I know crap and realize that this might be one of the main reasons to be decent to people.
If this makes you more upset, I'm sorry PoindexterOglethorpe. I wrote it hoping you'd feel a glimmer of what she did.
Please read this again after your defense mechanisms calm down.
Written from a pained heart with love,
John
