LOL! That all depends where you go around town. When I'm in the Bullshit Neighborhood, I can be a little grumpy. There's even a paragraph in the post here dedicated to that neighborhood and its negativity. Some even think I'm a Big Bad Scary Monster, so I put that 'M' on my head just to rub it into their subconscious minds. They started it. LOL!
On a serious note. If people want to talk, I'll talk. If folks want to be respectful, they get it back. If they're joking I'll play along. I like to be honest. If they're being an asshole, bully, dishonest and/or manipulative, I will make their life hell. I think it's only fair. Not a fan of being pushed around and lied to. Got a dark past that haunts me and see no need to add more crap to it. The feeling of regret one gets when they have to be an ass in order to stand up for themselves or others is far easier to deal with than being stepped on and lied to.
Ha ya for sure...even Barge had wondered about the scary monster stuff until he broadened his reading. As for the BS hood, I must say I come across it in all parts of town. It may just be my dawggy pawception but the smell of forced/inauthentic communication/expression is kinda identical wherever I travel in this strange Hyumi world.
....which is kinda why we both rate your Work very highly :)
Jeez, nether is pleasant!
