Real quick

This is going to serve as a heads up for those of you who don't seem to understand me on this one point. Take notes, I'm not going over it again. Not terribly often, something you may say in jest will either offend me or hurt my feelings. And, unlike everyone else you all seem to deal with, I'll tell you immediately that it bugged me. I'm not looking for an apology, I'm just letting you know so that you won't do it again. The worst possible response in this situation is "Suck it up, it was a joke." That single mentality will piss me off to no end. That stems from years of having my feelings, when I did express the ones that weren't anger, dissmissed because "I took something wrong." Guess what... doesn't matter how you meant it. The reality is how I feel at that moment. And if you don't understand that, we're going to have big problems. Cause I work really hard to not dismiss any of your feelings.
