So, I am helping a friend out and greeting and promoting the lounge she is DJing for now.... As part of the promoting (just like promoters in almost every other lounge here on Fubar) I have been greeting, rating, and inviting them to visit the lounge if they want (leaving a link in the comments, again like almost every other lounge promoter here on FuBar). Did the exact same thing I have done for the past week last night. Well, I get this comment from another member on my profile page about someone being their 'best friend' and the lounge they are a DJ for being better. Now mind you I had no idea who this 'best friend' they were talking about was, and the comment seemed to in a 'just kidding' Kind of manner, so I just moved on, not even thinking about it again. Well, later on in the lounge several people come in, including this other DJ.... SO I welcome them, get back to my conversation, when outta no where this DJ goes off about the comment I left her "best friend" saying I was trying to 'steal him away' from another lounge. A couple of her 'friends' had come in to help out and continue the barade. I literally was stunned by this. I had NO idea that people were personal property (with exception to those that are legally bound by marriage certificates). See, I was taught that in America, people have freedom of speech, religion, and yes, freedom to make choices. I wan NOT trying to steal anyone away from anywhere, as in people are not personal property and have the right to make their own decisions as to where they go, who they talk to, and yes, what frickin lounge they may visit. Last night,I was so upset by all this, I actually went and posted and apology comment on this DJs page as if I had actually done something wrong. What do I get back in turn, but an overtly rude comment back. Having had time to sleep on it,I am not upset or hurt by this anymore, or even too mad about it. I am just amazed at how much like 2 year olds some adults can act. I won't deny that I can still have a temper tantrum on occasion, but I really try to save them for things that are pertinent like paying high gas prices, overly exorberant light bills, or asshats that try and infringe on my personal freedom of choices and beliefs, not because someone left a comment on a friend's page about another lounge I KNOW they aren't going to visit. That kind of "they are MY friend not YOURS" bullshit needs to be left in the sandbox kiddies; Put your big girl panties on move on. Now that I have vented my frustration, that is what I plan on doing.
