Right there with you. That's what pissed me off most. That there was an entitlement issue. The person who defriended me just saw me namecalling and apparently intentionally trying to hurt feelings. Which shows she wasn't really paying attention. I tend to strike back, but I don't go for first blood on purpose.

I was saying to me the boycotts and temp-deletes came across like a customer who called asking for a promo they knew full well was for "new customers only". When I'd tell them "sorry, new customers only," they'd say "Okay, cancel my service." I'd cancel for them because they'd be insistent.

And they'd wait a week or two and call back expecting to be treated like a new customer and then get the promo.

And exactly. I mean that should go without saying that Six Apart isn't just doing it to be oppressive. There's thought and common sense behind their decision.

And agreed with you about the low profile. For a while there, every week we were hearing on the news about some sexual predator or another getting busted through setting up appointments, dates, and trysts on MySpace.

My MOSH icon is not actually visibly anti-Bush but anyone who's seen the video knows it could be construed that way and if they wanted to portray it that way to the right person -- that'd be it for me.

But I'm the bad person for going over the top to point out how over the top they were going.

Thanks, hon. This conversation has really helped me get some perspective, and I feel a little better about being defriended by someone I thought thought well of me. I'm better off if she can't see past her offense and can only tar me with the same brush of words she's sticking in my mouth.
