"... If one did is willing to dig through the shit and deal with the BS that is simply the reality of LIFE. ..."
1. i know i've got a lot of posts from the past 10+ yrs, but do people really spend time seeing who's posting about them on eccie? and care about it? (unless of course it is DEMONSTRABLY, FACTUALLY and PROVEABLY false - if so, sue them for libel).
2. ya know, if one or two people say something about me, it might be about me, but more than like it's about them. but if 10 or 20 people say the same thing about me, i might wanna look at myself and ask "did i really mess up? / am i really that much of a jerk??"
(btw,i have done that a few times in my real and my adult-sex-provider-bulletin-board-user life)
3. say something enough times and some people (those who didnt learn history or dont have critical thinking) will believe it (didnt george orwell put that concept forward in _1984_ ?)
4. do well and they'll talk about you. (maybe to learn from and emulate you)
do poorly and they'll talk about you. (hopefull to learn and not do what you did)
kinda be glad they're talking about you (goes along w/ "any publicity is good publicity").
