I have ten billion other things right now to be upset and pissed about, and frankly, I've had time to get used to these types of rants of yours. I might not have agreed with everything you said, but I don't have to in order to be your friend. You and I established this a long time ago.
Honestly, I also don't have time to stop and look at every flower (as much as I'd like to). I'm swamped and on the verge of a serious emotional breakdown what with school, trying to get into grad school, Jeff, Katie being sick to the point that I probably will have to have her put down by the end of the week (yes, still), and a roommate that isn't used to my personality enough by now that it becomes argumentative (with really bad timing). So, I don't exactly have the mental/emotional capacity right now to give one good shit most of the time about humanity (most of them, I just want out of my way or dead right now), and unfortunately very little time for nature. No matter how much I know I probably would benefit from it. I'm physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted and I don't see it getting better any time soon.
So, whether you lock your posts or not is up to you. I have various filters that I do use when I feel the need to and some that I set up to rant about particular things or people. I had to even do a filter for bitching about science because one person (not you) got so offended at something I ranted about once that she snarked and became more sarcastic than I wanted to deal with. So rather than start freakin' flame wars in my LJ, I have filters and I rant. Either way, it's up to you. Just know that if you don't f'list filter at times, you will get people who are offended by what you write and who will call you on it. As long as you can take it, keep dishing it out. If people unfriend you because they don't like something you've written, they weren't very good friends to begin with.
And btw, I have found that passive aggressive people are the ones who get the most offended by stuff like this. I'm finding more and more that I have less and less time for passive aggressive people. Most of the drama in my life has been caused by passive aggressive people.
Personally, I wasn't pissed.
