Eavesdroppers Never Hear Anything GOOD

So now I know, for sure, that some­one on my friends list has been shar­ing my friends-only posts with sam­bear’s ex-wife. And oh, her feel­ings are hurt.

Well, I did­n’t say any­thing in the post she quot­ed tear­ful­ly on the phone with him today that I would­n’t have said to her face¹Yeah, I prob­a­bly would have phrased it a lit­tle more nicely—but the facts and my beliefs remain exact­ly the same. Peo­ple who read things that they know damned well aren’t meant for their eyes had best learn to deal with get­ting their feel­ings hurt. They’d best blame who­ev­er was out of line in get­ting them access to that mate­r­i­al, not the per­son who wrote it. if we ever actu­al­ly had a con­ver­sa­tion, so while there’s a def­i­nite vio­la­tion of trust from some­one, I don’t feel bad at all about the actu­al words that she read. And yes, I think some­one should have said some of those things to her face, as many times as it took for her to get the real­i­ty check, a long time ago. 

I have NEVER bad-mouthed that woman in front of her chil­dren, and I won’t do it because I don’t want to harm the kids. I actu­al­ly care about their wel­fare, imag­ine that? Much more than she does, from what I can tell, as the kids report she cer­tain­ly has­n’t ever refrained from say­ing nasty things about me in front of them.

So I’m afraid I’ve removed most of the peo­ple I don’t know face-to-face from my friends list. Sor­ry, don’t take it per­son­al­ly. Because if I knew for sure who the slime was, I would be nam­ing that per­son very pub­licly. Yes, it’s pos­si­ble that some­one still on my friends list is the leak. But I’m sure I’ll find out if that’s the case. Eventually.
