Do you want to make a difference in this world?

for one, i'd like to be spoken to like we're friends, not like i'm your misbehaving employee. i've told you that.

second, if you want to have a discussion, actually open up the table for it. it's not that difficult to start a conversation with something beyond a vague generality. "i'm interested in forming some kind of vigilante squad to deal with the problems that the uapd/una aren't addressing. what do other people think?" is not a difficult pair of sentences to write.

when people ask you for clarification, don't blow them off. "it's obvious." no, it fucking isn't. if it was obvious, i wouldn't have asked you a question.

this might be the most important point: don't take it so goddamn personally when people disagree with you. "i'm glad to know what you really think of me" as if anyone here is insulting you personally. if i really didn't give a shit about you, damian, i would have opened this post, closed it, and gone on with my day. i would never have bothered to even have this conversation.

i do care. about you, about this goddamn city, about the displaced. i care a lot, because i'm not leaving. but i don't think forming the revengers hit squad is the way to do it.

You insulted me personally. Your digs were personal. You want to be pissed about how I talk to you, how about you take a look at how you were talking to me? Disagreeing wasn't the problem. What you said was. I am CONSTANTLY being shit on for how I speak, and believe it or not I am doing my best here. Shocking, I know, admitting that it falls short of whatever expectations are held for me.

Impersonal and formal gets called defensive, normal gets called aggressive, I can't WIN.

And where did I say it was going to be a hit squad?

you can't win, no. you're not winning. you are the equivalent of the kid throwing a temper tantrum on the football field because your team lost the big game right now.

take a futuristic xanax, take a breath, and try a different approach next time.

that's it.

Someone else will handle it.
