response
well i must say, certain events of the past day have made me feel quite unhappy. well while i suppose i should be glad that my tagboard has actually been filled up so fast, and that people actually bother about what i have to say, i'm a little surprised at how personally some people are taking it. so just to clarify things,
i) i am making a general comment, not a personal attack on anyone. if what i said has greatly discomforted you, then i'm sorry, and you don't really have to continue reading if you really are so incensed by it.
ii) i acknowledge that there may be other viewpoints out there, and i do encourage people who feel disgruntled about the school or about anything at all to air their views. but perhaps one should think through what one wishes to say first, rather than letting emotions get the better of oneself.
iii) i do concede that my language may have been unintentionally harsh, because i suppose i did let my emotions get the better of me. however, should i be allowed to rephrase myself, i would still hold on to the same points of contention. and i suppose, so would you.
well in any case, i'm rather saddened by the fact that some people seem ready to beat me up just because of a few words. violence always seems to me (and i say generally) a rather unpleasant way to end conflicts of opinion. maybe there's a perceived need to hit someone to restore one's injured pride or just to feel good, i'm not sure.
oh and one other thing, please don't bring God into such matters. if you don't believe in Him, then fine, but DON'T brin Him in to insult or demean Him in any way.
