I happened upon a blog yesterday full of fifteen days worth of conversations between a group of people, I had heard that it had gotten a bit bitchy and so the natural thing to do is obviously tweet it. To some extent I feel sympathetic towards those who were part of this chat because people should probably start to realise that EVERYBODY BITCHES!
Unfortunately for those involved, they had somebody in the chat who was untrustworthy and that's probably an area where they were naive. If you are gonna have a bitch, it has to be with people you trust and lets face it, everything bitchy you say if documented will look and make you sound awful. I personally don't really judge these people too harshly because I am guilty of exactly the same behaviour and I think anybody who can say they don't bitch about people is either a saint or completely delusional.
When things happen in the "community", people will usually have an opinion on it and often they wont know the full facts, but does that stop people from discussing it? No. Would you voice these opinions to those involved? No. Why? Because often bitching is just a form or grieving annoyances that aren't nearly important enough to cause trouble over, and yes when it is written down and you read it is about you, I can understand that it would hurt and I can understand you would feel betrayed by those people involved, but I think you should understand that none of it matters. I can't properly articulate what I'm trying to say but I think the gist of it is there.
I feel slightly guilty because none of the bitching was about me and so really I had no bone to pick with them however when you hear of a 15 day bitchfest, you just have to sit back and watch it unfold like an episode of eastenders. I am sure people do bitch about me and I'm sure people who I like and trust do however that's life, everyday, those people closest to you do things that grate on you and it's pretty insignificant, not enough to make it worthwhile causing friction in the friendship, and so you get it off your chest by airing it elsewhere and it feels better.
I suspect many people call me a fat prick or a whore behind my back and so what, I am fat and people will naturally be aggravated when I get some subscribers from other people, does it matter enough to say to me, not really, it's YouTube and these sagas are like a bad celebrity magazines.
I think everybody is sorry, the people involved in the chat are sorry because you don't expect these things to get out and in written form, the things said seem overly harsh. The people who have had things said about them are sorry because they don't know whether these people are their friends, I hope that they can see past it and just realise that it goes on all the time and many other people have probably said the same things and is it their business? NO, but when it's common knowledge, people will always talk especially people who spend so much of their lives on the Internet and in particular skype. I have bitched before I am certain and do I dislike people I've bitched about? Nope.
Ginger Chris said to me yesterday "People just need to accept that it happens all the time", he later went on to say "I'd be offended if I wasn't important enough to be bitched about"
So now we know, if you're gonna bitch, make sure everyone involved is trustworthy or just don't bitch at all, but that would be no fun!
