Unbelievable, I know. But yes, I've posted another column at Gothic Charm School:
Of Differences of Opinion. And IKEA.
Huge thanks go to
staxxy and
fashionista_35 for being beta readers!
As always, if you could go forth and promote the latest column, that would be wonderful.

I have to say that, I know I for one miss seeing you and D out. I totally respect why you're not, but I still wish it were different. I love seeing you guys.

I think you know why people do such things. They are bullies and using a blunt object to force compliance works for them. I too, find myself staying silent due to bullies... But not often ;)
I would also add that those I have met consider themselves an expert on opinions, politics, grammar or some other area (hey maybe they read a book once or took a class, that usually seems to be their claim to High Expertiese) and so think all people should always agree with them on This Important Subject.
Thank you for dealing with the bullies. And although I don't agree with you regarding the Ikea issue, it is a tribute to your character that you can still maintain grace under fire.

The "experts" problem you brought up makes me think. I can be a little annoying myself on the topic of proper English (and sometimes proper French!) and even though I think I barely bring it up at all, I'm probably on a lot of people's hate lists because I'm so fussy about language.
On the other hand, I'm finding "snippy geeks" less and less tolerable in my own online interactions. I'm on the verge of posting something spelling it out - the reason nerds/geeks are unpopular is not that they're SMART. It's that their lousy social skills make people feel bad. Nobody likes to be on the receiving end of blunt, unpleasant nattering about miniscule points, all pointing to how wrong, wrong, wrong the non-geek is, and how right, right, right the snippy, bitter geek is. I'm getting snippy and bitter about it, myself. Heh.
