defensiveness ahoy, feminism: you're doing it wrong

Six months ago, agilebrit defriended ginmar stating her reasons in her own journal, basically saying she disagreed with the things ginmar was saying.

Fast forward to now, and ginmar has found the entry and is calling the op and everyone who commented cowardly bitches and saying to one, "You're that professional virgin, aren't you? No wonder you can't handle anything more thna (sic) black or white."

Update: "I was never on your friends list!"

	I also wonder if she might do vanity searches. There's an option that lets you reject robots that would otherwise index your journal for some search engines, and if the entry gets linked into Google or somewhere, a search of "ginmar" might pull up the entry. Unlikely, but I've heard of people running searches like that to see who's talking about them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know ppl who do that and it's a bit...well...sad. (just to me tho...) I only did it once and was surprised at the results (nothing bad...in fact, outside of my own website, nothing at all LOL). It's good to not be talked about at all LOL It means I've succeeded....smirks (at least talked about where I can find it if I were so inclined, which I'm not....) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Actually, it's rather useful if you're writing fic, because you'd be surprised how many people rec you but don't feel the need to leave you feedback, or perhaps just consider the reccing to be a form of feedback. (I don't complain, because that would be stupid, but nevertheless there'd be a number of positive comments on my stuff I'd never have heard if I didn't work the Google.)

Wanting to know what people are saying about you in a public forum--which any of the internet not specifically protected by something like a password or a flock essentially is--isn't 'sad'; to a certain degree it's just reasonable sense.

Going and flaming the hell out of them for saying it... is less sense. (And going and flaming the hell out of them for saying it and being virgins is someplace where sense is no longer even on the map.)
