Yeah yeah, I suck at lettering.
This is my sign. Blake screwed it to the outer wall of our house, right beside the “front” door, so that everyone who enters will know the deal.
Before it was put in place, I asked Blake, “do you agree with it?” and he said “absolutely”.
After it was put in place, Madison read it and said she liked it. I said to her, “but do you agree with it?” and she said, “yes, even though I probably do a lot of shitty things that you write about”, to which I replied, “not really” because there was only one shitty thing she’s done so far that I found was worth writing about and I made it a friends only post on LJ. (She stole a necklace of mine that my grama gave to me which my grampa, now dead, gave to her, that had a HUGE crystal pendant and then some kid stole it out of her desk so now it’s lost forever.) Anyway, she & I agreed that that was probably the shittiest thing she’s ever done.
Anyway, if you’ve been reading my site for any length of time, you’ve probably seen me say what’s on this sign multiple times because it’s true. I write about pretty much everything that happens in my life, or at least the important stuff and often times, “the important stuff” is the shitty things people do. I can’t say that I write about all of these things publicly all the time, but they are usually written about either on my site, my LJ (publicly or friends only) or my paper journal, but usually online in some way, shape or form. That’s just what I do. That’s what I’ve been doing for the last 10 years of my life and if you have a problem with it, don’t be in my life. It’s really that simple. And really, is it so hard to be a decent person who doesn’t do shitty things? Because if that’s difficult for you, we probably don’t want you in our lives anyway. And that is a sentiment shared by everyone in the Sunny, Blake, Madison & Wes Crittenden family. I know this because I ASKED.
So that’s my sign. Probably the first of many. As I pointed out to Blake, I am now the crazy neighbour who makes signs. :oD So be it.

well ditto, if you don’t want shitty comments, don’t write shitty things about people.
I don’t get shitty comments on those posts.
That’s the most backward reasoning in the whole world. That’s like saying MLK should have expected to get shot since he was talking about bad things that people did. Or hey, don’t report that rape because someone might treat you badly if you complain. Or, on a somewhat less dramatic scale, if your kids misbehave, don’t punish them because they might get mad at you for it.
I’d say in general, the opposite of your statement is the truth. If you want someone to keep acting badly, don’t say anything about it. People should be held accountable for their actions. And indicating that people are going to be mean to you if you speak up about something wrong that has happened is simply victim blaming.
You honestly think it’s okay to do shitty things to people, but not okay for that person to say something about it?
That sign is ace. & tis true, ifya don’t want people writing/saying shitty things about you, stop bein an arsehole! <3
