Don’t tell me you cherish honesty in our relationship, even when it’s brutal, when in fact you cherish it only when you can dish it out.  The moment it comes back the other way, I’ve been a bad person, hateful, disrespectful, uncommitted to receiving criticism.  But let’s be honest: Two weeks of it bashing me over the head lost the claim to be labeled ‘criticism’ and became pure spite.  How much longer were you going to kick that dead horse anyway?

Don’t dish it out of you can’t take it.  That’s hypocrisy, and it’s disgusting, revolting even, and it’s unbecoming anyone who claims to cherish honesty.  Either tell me directly that I have to take it but you don’t, stop dishing it out, or be willing to accept as good as you give.

An opinion is subjective and is to be treated as such.  Criticism is subjective.  I know that and accept it.  What I don’t accept is viciousness that goes on endlessly.  Get over yourself.  Make your point then move on.  If you’re going to keep harping on it, I have no interest in hearing it.  I probably heard you loud and clear the first several times.  What was the point in continuing to blast me for two weeks?

I despise the double standard.  I had to take it for almost two weeks in every single message, yet only one response in kind is enough to push you over the edge?  Talk about pompous.

I understand you hate it and despise it and look down on it from your ivory tower.  Fine.  Stop reading it and get off your high horse while you’re at it.

Lastly, grow up!

Now that I feel better, let me say this.  I won’t burden you with my writing.  It’s painfully obvious how you feel.  Although you aren’t the beginning and end of all that’s worthy of publishing, something perhaps you weren’t aware of, I did cherish your opinion and looked to you for the critical analysis I needed.  Now I don’t.  It’s obvious you find it so distasteful that spewing invective continuously is all you can offer.  I don’t need it, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore.  I’ll continue my efforts but will save you the agony of dealing with it.

Do you want to act like an adult and move on or are we going to keep the tantrum up just to make a point?  You know what?  Point taken.  I have better ways to spend my time.

Wow!  That was mighty cathartic (or is that too big a word for you?).
