Why invisibility should NOT be a superpower…

I have an interesting way to start THIS rant…

This following bit is taken from an IM chat from not too long ago, names have been changed to protect people, and all that jazz, content has not been changed, but corrections have been inserted and noted.

From Windows Live Messenger:
Athena says (2:27 AM):
e_e

Sgt. Pepper says (2:27 AM):
yes, I am always trying to be 10 steps ahead of everyone

Athena says (2:27 AM):
It only works if they're not aware of what you're trying to do.

Sgt. Pepper says (2:28 AM):
I never am, but then I am normally about 4 ahead of everyone
no, sometimes it works even when they are aware
but then Im thinking about 50 steps ahead then
xD
anywhoz

Athena says (2:28 AM):
You're preaching to the choir here.

Sgt. Pepper says (2:28 AM):

Athena says (2:29 AM):

Sgt. Pepper says (2:29 AM):

Athena says (2:29 AM):

Sgt. Pepper says (2:29 AM):

xD

Athena says (2:29 AM):
Hahahaha

Sgt. Pepper says (2:30 AM):

Athena says (2:30 AM):

Sgt. Pepper says (2:30 AM):
hahahahahahaha

xD

Sgt. Pepper says (2:40 AM):

Athena says (2:40 AM):
Mk.

Athena says (2:54 AM):
...my roommate is talking in her sleep again.
I have no idea what she's saying.

Sgt. Pepper says (2:54 AM):
xD

Sgt. Pepper says (2:55 AM):
herrmmm

Sgt. Pepper says (2:56 AM):
trolls be trollen

Athena says (2:56 AM):
Ehh?

Sgt. Pepper says (2:56 AM):
my blogg

Athena says (2:56 AM):
You have trolls on your blog?

Sgt. Pepper says (2:56 AM):
someone posted a comment on it last night
life trolls
that have found me online it seems...
gawddammit

Athena says (2:57 AM):
How does that even happen? xD

Sgt. Pepper says (2:57 AM):
hey, you had a wake up on Fb just a little bit ago
networking’s a cool thing
a pain in my ass sometimes
but its a neat little thing

Athena says (2:58 AM):
Huh? A wake-up?

Sgt. Pepper says (2:58 AM):
the cell number deal on Facebook?

Athena says (2:58 AM):
Oh yeah, that.
Well, now there's no one on my friend's list that doesn't already have my phone number, so... xD

Sgt. Pepper says (2:59 AM):
lol
well
lets just say that if my guess is right
and my logic is pretty sound so Im going to assume it is
a former friend found me on FB
and then by proxy
my blog
and commented

Sgt. Pepper says (3:00 AM):
in defense of she who shall not be named

Athena says (3:00 AM):
There's a reason I haven't revealed the existence of my new blog to the whole facebook community. Yet.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:00 AM):
hmm

Sgt. Pepper says (3:00 AM):
personally I dont give a flying rat fuck either way

Sgt. Pepper says (3:01 AM):
I just think that if one is going to comment and "confront" someone about something

Athena says (3:01 AM):
See, that's another one of those peculiar expressions I will never hear again in my life. xD

Sgt. Pepper says (3:01 AM):
have the goddammed balls to do it face to face or in some personal way, and not by b eing snyde (snide*-ed) via the internet

Athena says (3:01 AM):
They take comfort in anonymity.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:02 AM):
thats one from my mom if you can believe it

Athena says (3:02 AM):
lol wow.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:02 AM):
yeah, since the commenter and my self used to be pretty good friends at one point, I could understand why
given if I apply a whole slew of character flaws to the equation

Sgt. Pepper says (3:03 AM):
which, given recent history, also makes perfect sense
I personally feel that at this point,
the one major issue with humanity as a whole
is that there are too many humans in it

Athena says (3:03 AM):
I think that anonymity is generally a cop-out.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:03 AM):
yes, I do realize how that sounds

Sgt. Pepper says (3:04 AM):
ya think?
its insurance against being wrong

Athena says (3:04 AM):
It's a way to have opinions without consequences, which is ridiculous.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:04 AM):
there are ALWAYS consequences
peoird (*Period-ED)

Athena says (3:04 AM):
Unless no one can figure out it was you.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:05 AM):
*period
pish
I wasnt born yesterday
anyone who treats me as such, is a bigger fool than they take me for

Athena says (3:05 AM):
I think it's generally a good idea to take responsibility for one's ideas.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:05 AM):
Id say thats true

Athena says (3:05 AM):
If they feel the urge to throw it out there, they should at least have the guts to claim it.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:06 AM):
Id also take it one step further and say, that if one cannot own up to one's ideas, or stances on something, then they have no right to express them to start with

Athena says (3:06 AM):
Exactly.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:06 AM):
amen to that

Athena says (3:06 AM):
And I don't think that internet aliases the way we do it counts.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:06 AM):
lol, heaven help anyone who corsses (*crosses-ED) us on a subjest (*Subjects-ED) we're agreed upon

Athena says (3:07 AM):
That's mainly so that creepers don't find me. xD

Sgt. Pepper says (3:07 AM):
xD
well see
there is the perfect example of a fine line
there is a distinct fine, and very thin fragile line between protecting oneself

Sgt. Pepper says (3:08 AM):
and out right hiding
if you had an idea
and claimed it
and used the name you put it out there with

Athena says (3:08 AM):
Well, for me, I draw the distinction because I don't treat people without respect under the guise of an alias.
Also, I claim my own ideas.

Sgt. Pepper says (3:08 AM):
then you claim it, as that aspect of your person, and have taken responsibility (*responsibility-ED) for it
indeed

Sgt. Pepper says (3:09 AM):
same point, differing views
same conclusion
I GOTTA use this for a future post in my blog
xD

Athena says (3:09 AM):
Hahahaha

Sgt. Pepper says (3:09 AM):
I'll edit your name, dont worry
lol

Athena says (3:10 AM):
lol thanks

As you can see, I do in fact pay attention, and I do also in fact believe in responsibility, in all forms, and I will also say that when there is any kind of conflict, one MUST know where one stands in the matter and why, and to hide behind the shield of invisibility as a nameless or faceless voice of whatever on the internet, or over any other form of contact and communication, and I personally prefer that people be honest and speak plainly.


Which is to say, if you are not in direct contact with the primary entities of a conflict, DO NOT JUMP INTO THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE EXCHANGE YOU GODDAMMED IDIOT!

Yes, I’m yelling, at YOU, reading this now, but rest assured that I am also yelling this at myself, because I jumped into the middle of an exchange once, not to very long ago, and it was what touched off the dirty bitch slap of a poor troubled and fucked up young woman, who had at once point, been my best friend.

I told that “lady” to fuck herself on this very blog a few days ago.
I have not, nor will I anytime soon, change my stance.

As you can surmise, I prefer to face my conflicts and the people that are at the center of them, head on, and if I must take on a bunch of fringe issues and people to do it, then let me dispel ALL misconceptions; I will fucking take on you AND your silly army of supporters, one on one, so the line forms to your right if you’re a friend, and to your left if you’re here to fight, pillows for your knees can be found next to you, so grab one, pucker up, and suck it shit-heads, I got plenty of junk dangling between my ears and my legs to fuck you up, any way, any time, any place, and any fucking reason.


Balls. I have them. And I use them for more than making my voice a nice baritone.
