MaverickXRose: Merry ridiculously grandiose, trite, and environmentally unfriendly secularized Christian holiday!
onthefoldout: Merry commercialized, barbarically carnivorous, materialistic, day of giving only to receive to you and yours, too!

I do believe that, as is usually the case, Fiona says it best.
And what a thing, to know what could be instead
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
It took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me
O' Sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
I never thought I would get a chance to pose the question.
But, the sailor that made a merry paramour of me has seemingly returned from asea.
O' Sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?

Judgment.
First off, there is no "E" in judgment...unless you are British, which you almost certainly are not. Please quit inserting one. It irks me.
There is nothing that irritates or angers me more than feeling as if I am being judged.
There are few things that trip that switch in me.
I am excellent at biting my tongue. I am a professional, in fact.
My skill in that has been honed and refined over years of practice.
It is quite hard to anger me; I may feel a range of emotions in the same genre as anger: bitterness, hurt, sorrow, disdain, etc, but very few things legitimately ANGER me.
I am a proponent for intellectual debate when opinions, views, beliefs, lifestyles differ.
I am perfectly content to banter back and forth, stating my viewpoints, objectively listening to yours, and perhaps allowing my views to evolve if you manage to sway me enough.
But, don't DARE pass judgment upon me.
We, as humans, are beautifully flawed, imperfect, confused creatures.
None of us know the "answers."
All of us err with regularity.
We are consistently inconsistent.
And as these flawed individuals, we all have our own methodology, our own way of living, our own moral code that we feel is correct and appros pos for ourselves.
Do not try to force your ethics or beliefs upon another, especially me, as it is an exercise in futility, and only serves as a negative reflection of you as a person.
Bend.
Listen to others.
If you still disagree, think of it as a learning experience,
a study as to how that person functions.
Do you ever have difficulty climbing into the saddle when your horse is that high?
