For my part in trying to help unity I am making a resolution

62. Given the hate levied at me (off site)

no I really do not care. I know a good group here, would prefer if I went away, or better yet died. And some have expressed that to me in that exact way off DU. They know who they are. Nor do I care for them either. Nor do I hate them. I just don't care what happens to them.

And I am not hoping something happens to you. I just not going to spend the energy caring. If you think that is hate. well there is this moat, kind of ocean divide on semantics. I know I don't hate you. I just not going to spend the energy worrying about you. If you think that is hate. I can't do a thing about it. But I am not going to apologize for not wasting my time anymore worrying about you, or for that matter, caring about what you think. But hate, why would I hate somebody I personally do not know. Hell there are few people I personally know that have done a few despicable things and I do not hate them either. That is a strong word that gets bandied around.

Like when people here go you hate HRC? I disagree with her on policy, and the disagreement is not mild, it is a chasm. But hate her? I don't know the woman from shinola. And I suspect I would not be allowed even to stand on the other of the street. (There are valid reasons for the Secret Service to have those protectee zones by the way) Nor do I love any politician, THat ended for me in 2008. Really, I have only fallen in love once. And after 2011, no more. So they are pols, they do what they do, some are more slimey than others, That is what pols do. I cover them. I know what they do.

I was told by a friend, yes I consider many of my colleagues to be more friends than people here. they are also people i know in the flesh. that when you start actually following sausage making and covering policy, you become way too cyniucal about this. I have.

And if you think I am going to waste one more second on this, you are wrong. We are pretty much done. But so it sinks in, I don't hate you. Nor would I go out of my way to bully you.
