I wasn't even trying to make it seem like she wasn't entitled to her opinion in the least or make her feel uncomfortable in her personal journal. The whole thing was, what she had said had brought back an old painful and extremely personal memory that I hadn't thought of in a long time and in that one moment I was a little angry that I was shaking, so rather than say anything that I thought might offend her I just opt'ed to go away and cool down. Plus, my anger had absolutely nothing to do with her at all, and everything to do with the image that her words had shaken loose inside my head had made me feel in that moment.
People do take things way too far, sometimes. However, I've been fortunate in the fact that most of our mutual friends have been able to see my side of it and have even gone so far as to tell me that they didn't think anything I'd said in any of my comments had been out of line. So, that does make me feel a little better in some respects.
As far as what Zantanna did with Clark, I can tell you now there was nothing remotely date rape-ish or sexual assualt-ish about it. It was just Zantanna seeing a hot guy, throwing herself at him with a little magic ala her personality, and then Clark coming to his senses and turning her down. Plus, I couldn't believe she brought Alicia and Clark up to me, as well. I was just like ... dude, wow. You do know the chick kinda died protecting him, don't you? So, in my mind it doesn't give her a pass for what she did, but it does sort of redeem the character in a while.
Oh well, whatevs. People can be so ridiculous about some things, like you said. Btw, icon love. ♥
