Vince Larson Apology - Blessing & Cursing

[MissBrattified]

Personally, I am not a fan of those who arrange for the punishment of others, either in secret or in the open. I just don't see it as necessary, to put it mildly.

However, I was one who was not a fan of the blog [entry]. (One of the ones that was shared here.) I didn't misinterpret it, nor did I go into a "frenzy." My first thought was that the usage of words was unnecessary to make the point, and my second thought was, "I hope he doesn't [inadvertently] embarrass his parents or cause them pain."

Even as an adult, I am still very conscious of where my parents stood, where my mother still stands, and what offends her, or would cause her embarrassment on my behalf.

Sure, in this day of free thought, free expression, blogs, facebook, forums, etc., you would think our "self-expression" would be something we alone would answer for, and no one else. Unfortunately it still isn't the case. Our words matter, they affect people, and people we love are often held accountable for what they didn't say themselves.

So I do empathize with the fact that you were just "expressing" and perhaps didn't think it through any further than that, but from one PK to another--you should think things through better than that.

Just my 2 cents, no frenzy, no misinterpretation
