Quandry

If someone reads your blog, even though you did not invite them to this one, and they are offended by something you said while venting, would you apologize?

I did, apologize, that is.

A vent is just that - a way to vent frustration, to say things in anger until you can get your head together and say something much more constructive in person.

I don't think "poor me" - well, I have days and anyone who says they never have days where they think they are on the wrong end of things is lying.

What I want to say in closing is that if you are going to thump a Bible and claim to be a believer, and schedule your life around three services a week, it would be good to look at that passage or two on forgiveness and loving your neighbor first.

I say: It's a fucking public online community, if someone is offended then they should be an adult and choose to no longer read your blog. To verbalize their outrage and aim it at you is wrong.If they stumble across some online porn and are offended do you really think they would email the webmaster? I think not.

Just do what you do and say what you need to say..screw anyone who has a problem with that...this is YOUR space.

Stepping off my soapbox...

You are a great deal kinder than I would have been. Apologise indeed!
I'd have politely asked them never to stop by again.
Trojan is right. This is your space, and anyone who is offended has the right to not read it.
Is it really any different from someone coming uninvited to your home? I've asked a person to leave before. No one has the right to interfere with your peace.

I wouldn't have apologised. I would have made fun of them in my next post ;)

Been there, done that....and didn't apologize. You didn't invite that person to read, so if they are offended, too dang bad.

You tell them, this is your safe place, to say what is on your mind, no one invited them, life is full of choices and their choice should have been not to continue reading. JERKS!!!!
