I'm not angry that you wrote this. I certainly don't expect people to censor what they truly believe in their own journals, and I'm glad when they don't. I'd rather know the way someone thinks so I can accurately evaluate whether I want to know and interact with them, and get as good of an impression of them as I can.
My impression of you has changed considerably since I first friended you; this and entries very much like it have seen to that. The impression that I've formed of you is that while you are a creative, funny, and often kind person, you can also be dismayingly entitled, judgmental, and bitter, and I'm not sure if these are tendencies you've been able to observe in yourself or not. The only thing you could do to convince me otherwise is not to tell me that you are not exhibiting judgmental behavior, but to not be judgmental in the first place.
If you truly don't believe that you are being judgmental, or if you truly feel that your judgment of people whose lives and thoughts you don't know is justified...well, that's your right, and I don't begrudge you your own space in which to voice your honest thoughts. But it upsets and saddens me, and it's not something I wish to read on my friendslist.
