Fatwa

A note from the author:

There are many times when I let my emotions get the best of me. Sometimes, they are good emotions; other times, they are not. It is regrettable that I can let negative attitudes toward other people be expressed in what I write. I feel that the attitude itself is more important than the fact that I talk openly about it, and it may very well be that I'm working on those negative feelings. However, as you read this entry, please be aware that I might have said things that could be considered very harsh. I apologise.

This day is the day that I traditionally set aside to direct a tirade toward a specific person. Miraculously, after forgetting about it all year, I was reminded about it this morning. This year, it's dread that's stopping me from making a more direct statement.

No, I haven't forgotten. Yes, I was a jerk, and I'm sorry. Yes, you are probably still incompetent. Yes, you could learn from this. No, you probably haven't. No, I don't want to keep thinking about it time after time. Yes, I probably will. Yes, an actual apology for what you did rather than a generic “Sorry for the way that things turned out.” would have gone a long way.

Happy Valentine's Day!
