The Big Insult

Written in public, July 21, 2020:
Jesus. I had no idea you were so fucking full of yourself.
My response, that day, at Radical Unschooling Info, on facebook:
My site has the collected writings of VERY MANY of the better unschooling writers, comments, and discussions, over the past 20+ years. That's not "myself." That's the volunteer work I've been doing since before most of the people here had kids—moderating discussions and collecting the good parts in a searchable fashion.

To counter bullshit and insult with fact is being "fucking full of myself"?

Someone whose page is full or drama and nonsense was not let into the group even before this new question.

Someone who is clueless about whether a fountain of drama and nonsense could be as good an unschooling parent as someone who's being mindfully, consciously peaceful isn't going to even want to learn more about unschooling.

When I saw people use "Jesus" and "fucking" in the same post, in the past, I didn't let them into this group, figuring they would do that here, too.

Heidi E__ S___ left the group after her post, it seems, so it was hit-and-run vulgar flouncery. It didn't follow the guidelines, but if I take it down, some people will think I'm afraid of criticism.

I don't mind giving people an opportunity to prove my points.

"You're so full of yourself" was an insult in my youth. Who would those folks, or this person, prefer that I be full of?

I AM myself.

I wrote about the "full of yourself" insult here. It has been there for eighteen years. Is it better to say that, or worse, as to my soothing the feelings of flouncers I don't know? 🙂

This was brought to my site in 2023. The person to whom I was responding left the group that day, before I could throw her out. Her facebook name has changed some.
