Note that I did say that you up there was general. Most of the time, when I get into that hardcore of a rant, it's a specific instance launching me into a generalized frustration. It has very little to do with you personally, other than the fact that you sparked the rant.
I don't know why it annoys me so badly. Possibly because people are constantly applying gaming terms to complex, worldly situations in an effort to explain them. The world is so much more complex than your (again, general) stupid fucking D&D alignments. It just makes me crazy. I guess I can't really expect you or anyone else to understand, and I never planned for you (generaaal..) to.
Yes, this is your LJ, but I was under the impression that people could respond to it how they wished, provided there was a link to leave comments. If you don't like what I have to say, feel free to tell me to cease from saying it. But I resent having you pull the "this is my LJ" line at me (with the implication that I have no right to get angry because of that), when you have not yet rescinded the invitation to comment as I please.
You can say what you like here, sure, but so can I until you tell me that I cannot. So if you're pissed off at my response, which is so typically me in content and construct that I didn't anticipate you having problems with it, then I give similar sentiment back to you. You have friended me with the implication that my comments are welcome. If they are not, you have the ability to change that. Until you do, don't get shocked when I actually make use of that implied invitation.
