you know
i really cant stand
bypassers
anonymous'
whoever
chances upon a blog
whether he know the blogger or not
and just starts posting mean comments
thank God i never had the 'privilege'
of meeting one of them here
john
lucas
josh
ivee
adriel
all these chaps have been hit by these
'bypassers' shall we?
see, maybe i can understand
this sort of mentality
they look at a blog
read something on it
something which they think is wrong
something that offends them
or whatever
then they go to the tagboards
and start blasting the blogger
in self-righteousness

you know
they might have some 'noble' intent
they might think theyre doing the person
some great service
and go round blasting and accusing them
of this and that
telling the blogger to 'wake up'
stop 'being arrogant'
'being selfish'
et al
then, having tagged that
they feel a sense of satisfaction
that
"woah man, you rock!
you just helped someone
wake up from a vicious cycle of self-pity"
or
"alright, time to wake this arrogant bastard up"
etc.
really though
just rings of "pharisee-ism"
firstly
what makes them think theyre right?
on what grounds did they base their judgement?
clearly, most of these
'bypassers'
are judmental and lack discernment
secondly
even if they were right
even if the person is at fault
or really is suffering from AP
is it their place to 'scold' them?
are they in any position of authority to do so?
do they have any RIGHT to do so?
obviously not.
thirdly, even if we could
accept
that these 'bypassers'
are in a position
to criticise
because they're
'concerned friends'
whatever
are they right in
blasting their friend in public?
in full view?
a common trend
with these 'bypassers'
is to take a very
aggressive stance
with very harsh words
would someone
trying to help another person
be like that?
wouldnt
counselling in private be in order here?

well, anyway, just can't stand
these arrogant pricks
and whats worse
most dont have the courage
to reveal their name
pathetic

heres a challenge to all
'bypassers'
who come across this blog
i throw the gauntlet down
before your feet
and challenge you
to answer the questions
i posed above

bring it on
