I thought I would join my friend Fadra today in her Stream of Consciousness Sunday Meme.
I have to write for 5 minutes, I can't edit, proofread, or spellcheck anything I write...This, my friends, could be interesting.
So, here goes nothing (or everything):
I;ve never had a blog troll. I remember when I went to my first SITS conference in Baltimore and Tiffany said that you haven't really made it as a blogger until someone comes on your blog and leaves a snarky evil comment that leaves you spitting nails. I've never had anyone do that. And that kinda pisses me off. It makes me wonder if maybe I am not stirring the pot enough. NOt shaking things up and really making an impact in this blog of mine. I don't want to be a Pollyanna blogger who only paints unicorns adn rainbows and all that happy go lucky "yeah, my ikids have autism but its really easy to handle and its all la de freaking da over here". Because its not. Most of the time I am left feeling like I am barely hanging on to sanity. I am very opinointed but I have a hard time expressing it for fear of hurting someone's feelings.
For instance, I despise Jenny McCarthy. I think she should have been knocked off her autism-advocate pedestal years ago. Right around the time she first opened her mouth and pretended to have a clue about what she was talking about.
I am pissed at Andrew Wakefield and the way he falsified his data and caused a shit-storm with his first reports that claimed vaccines cause autism. I would not want to be him when he faces the gates of heaven.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I have opinoins, they are not always pleasant and they are not always nice. I don't have any blog trolls but perhaps in the future when I start stating them more I may.
And I'm at peace with that.
