So I’m enjoying reading the posts of my friends on FB and I leave a cute little comment here and there.\u00a0 Mostly my opinion, sometimes naughty, but always meant to be funny.\u00a0 And I comment on a friend’s posting where she says that all the college students around her are driving her nuts with their stress over finals so she’s going to get them back by interrupting them.\u00a0 The first couple of comments are humorous and I add mine.. See below. \u00a0 Its not an insulting comment.\u00a0 It’s an opinion. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But apparently it was enough for one girl to go to my FB page.. find my blog page… and read… I guess no farther than the tag line, before she goes back to FB and slams an insult at me.\u00a0 When I read it I was pretty sure her insult was aimed at me, even though she didn’t say that, but I actually had to DIG to figure out what the hell she was talking about. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And I’m looking at her comment trying to decide if I want to reply and what I’d say should I choose to do so.\u00a0\u00a0 After all, I’m NOT an unintelligent woman.\u00a0 Yet, nor am I one to waste time trying to defend something as minor as spelling errors to those with OCD in THIS day and age of texting- word- shortening!\u00a0\u00a0 But I don’t like the feeling of another person assuming I’m cowering in hurt feelings by her nasty slash at me. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Amusingly…. a White Night or two came to my defense.
