Intelligent Discourse in Modern Society

So every so often I get maudlin and decide to post my first world problems on the internet so that I can get them out of my head. 

I don't just do it here, sometimes I post other places, just for shits and giggles (I love seeing the responses I get on places like craigslist, they're classy as all hell).

So anyway, last night I was feeling lonely and thinking about the low points of the last year, and I posted the following, just to see what sort of response I would get.


"I wish things had worked differently but they didn't.
I know that I've not moved on (in spite of what our mutual 'friends' may have told you).

I know that you say you've not moved on either.

But you've made your choice known.

I know you are someone who sticks with her decisions once she makes them, I know I have no choice but to respect the choice that you made, and I know I have no right to interfere with your life.

I just want you to know that I still care for you.
 I've never stopped loving you.
 Not when you left me.
 Not during the months we spent not talking to each other.
 Not even at my most hurt and most angry.
Honestly if I didn't love you, you never would have been able to cause me pain.
I never stopped loving you, and I'm not sure I ever will.

I just wanted to say that. I know you'll probably never read this, but I wanted it to be said."


I got three (not counting advertisements for online porn)

The first was 'If this is (I'm not putting the actual name here), please call me'.
I sent back a nice message saying that I was not the person she was looking for, but that I wish I was.

The second sent me a message telling me that things would get better.
Much appreciated (and I said so).  I normally don't get so hung up on personal stuff, but being a typical working class emotional cripple I guess it was an eventuality.

The third was a simple 'Fuck u'

This didn't upset me as much as one would think (to tell the truth I was kind of looking forward to getting chewed out, just to get myself back to being human.)  The thing that bothered me the most (aside from the authors apperant inability to spell the word 'you') was the total lack of supporting statements.

I was really looking forward to hearing the reasons for the response.

Ah well, such is life.
