Broken. That is a good term to describe an individual who is unhappy and yet tries to convince the world and themselves that they aren’t. That they are happy, well adjusted, positive, and cheerful. I don’t know who they are trying to fool, themselves or everybody else, or both?

The other day I logged on here and read a foul, spiteful, needling post directed at one of the members here on this blogging site. It was followed by more rantings and ravings and negativity towards that member and others, blaming pretty much the whole world’s problems or at the very least this blog site’s problems on them.

I chose to stay away and not blog that day. Hoping that individual would get whatever it was out of their system and that they would take some personal reflection on their words and actions. Silly me to think that was even an option as they have never taken responsibility for their words and actions in the past or ever offered up an apology for them. Instead, there was more personal attacks on that individual they had singled out.

They complained about that individual’s postings of jokes, bits of information, history, and other things they post on here. Accusations of trying to “run down” the complainer’s own posts down the page so they would be hidden from view. That what that blogger posts weren’t valid, of interest, and wasn’t “personal” enough. That what they posted was on the news, in mainstream media and wasn’t blog worthy of anyone’s attention. That the individual’s posts were not “heartfelt” or had any “meaning”.

The irony is palpable. After viewing the posts from the complaining “blogger”, and I use that term loosely, contained posting of game scores, several comments on the weather, a music video, and links to other sites. All things viewable on the internet and news elsewhere. The only thing that they posted that was “heartfelt and personal” was the petty and bullying post about wanting to upset and provoke another blogger.

Wow. More than disappointing. I don’t’ know what to feel for that person. Pity? Anger? Disgust? Do I waste any emotion on them at all? Where does all of that mean spiritedness come from? Brokenness? Neediness? Mental health issues? Or just an issue of character? Or lack thereof?

I know that individual that was the victim of that individual’s attack won’t ever receive an apology from them. And it bothers me that there isn’t any accountability here. So to Suzi, I offer you an apology from this site, this blogger for the abuse and vitriol that was aimed at you the other day. I’m sorry that this individual seems to have a fixation of pettiness towards you and to anyone else who calls you a friend. I want to also want to thank you for rising above the nastiness and not falling for their need to pick a fight, to upset, and disrupt this blogging site.

Thank you for all that you do post, whatever you chose to post that is your business. I know, that I have been criticized in the past for writing too long of blogs. I posted two blogs on plants today. I’m sure that might be viewed by some as excessive, uninteresting, and not personal enough. It is what I felt like blogging about today, so I did. I guess you can count this third blog as a bonus. My apologies if it “runs” anyone down the activity front page.

Tomorrow will be another day and there will be more postings of the same thing that there always is on here, so don’t worry. It will be off the front page soon enough to those who worry about such things.

Have a good night bloggers.
