Yes, Really

[poliphilo]

One of the stimulating things about LJ is that you never know when the Messerschmidts are going to come diving at you out of the sun.

Mainly you're among friends, but it's a public arena and anything is possible.

I like it that it's public. Yeah, I do really.

Ouch
Ouch
Ouch.

I have posted my sentiments on the topic of this altercation, but I will do it again. You have nothing to apologize about. You were accosted in the very haven of your thoughts by a belligerent with little consideration for you as an individual.

It's intrusive and unfortunate, but I am glad that you are not locking your journal over it. I was fortunate enough to be able to find you because it was open and because your thoughts, your wonderful thoughts, drew me in. I would hate to think that this would be refused to others due to this incident.

You are a great man! You really are! We love you madly and dearly and this Thanksgiving, I toast to knowing you and having found you in this corner of LiveJournal! Here is to a year of less drama from pugnacious soapboxers in our comments section--we have communities for that.

PS: it should be heartening to remember that the Messerschmitts, regardless of their popularity in WWII's first round, fell in the shadow of Allied aircraft at the closing stages of the war. [Wink]

No there's no way I'd lock the journal.
The unpleasantness of being attacked is more than outweighed by the pleasure of meeting such fascinating people as yourself.

The feeling is mutual!
