A couple of days back, I blogged about a certain somebody (read this if you have no clue to what i’m talking about). Said person made a big thing about it, making it sound like I have this vendetta against her. Someone going by the nickname ‘Kim Jong Il’ anonymously commenteded on the blog, effectively dissing her. She flipped, in the literal sense, going on an apparent office-wide rampage, resulting in major pwnage from the part of the Editor in Chief and assorted bosses (or something to that effect lah).
I have this to say: Grow Up. Don’t bitch about people bitching about you. It’s immature, it makes you look like a crybaby. If you think they have problems with you, then its either you resolve those issues, or you ignore them. If you want to win an argument, get your facts right, don’t bring in help from your family or friends just because your own argument can’t stand on its two feet. If you’re not happy about a relative newbie in your company getting the Editor post, then ask the bosses why you didn’t make it, and work to fix those issues. Don’t bitch just for the sake of bitching. If you really want something, then do something instead of whining. You’re a journalist, have some backbone. Taking things personally really shows your maturity, or lack thereof.
Either that, or i’ll just call the waaaaaahmbulance. 1800-waa-waa-waa.
Hey, its a free world. I can bitch about whoever and whatever I want (if i wanted to) just as you are doing now.
And honestly, practice what you preach – get your facts right.
Listen to both sides of the coin before commenting about something thats happening elsewhere to some other people. It makes you look really stupid, besides being a shit stirrer in the other workplace.
Honestly, did all of this start becos of what i said TO YOUR FACE at that event. You didnt even have the guts to tell it to me straight but went and did it behind my back. On a blog.
Im actually quite touched. Ite been over 2 weeks since that incident and you still remembered

uh. again, get your facts right. i’m not talking about YOU. i was talking about what you said.
but since you think that its about you, its up to you to think what its all about.
besides. if i really DID want to bash you, trust me, the words i’d use would be much much longer. and wordier. and complicateder.

Well, i know you were talking abt me, cos those were the exact same sentiments of the relative newbie you talked about. She blogged about it for the whole world to see too!!
WHich says alot abt whats reallllly been going on, on the chatlines
Are you perhaps smitten by the lovely newbie? Basking in each other’s awesomeness? Admiring one and others’ tech prowess and verbal wittiness? BEING HER MOUTHPIECE?
By all means, do so….but with all due respect, please think over wat your really doing. Ive bitched to other peeps but they dont try to stir shit in an environment other than theirs and leave it for others to clean up the mess.
