Opinions

This post will most likely interest very few people and may confuse some. If that's the case, I apologise, the normal shit will be here tomorrow. This, however, is something that needs saying.

There are many knitters out there in the internet community, and it is inevitable that not everyone will get on. It is also inevitable that there will be squabbles, petty little arguments and differences of opinions. All this is the way of the world and I'm sure we all accept it as such. What is not acceptable is that an individual is jumped on for expressing their opinion. It is not acceptable to call people disgraceful and offensive names behind their backs where they will never see it. It is not acceptable to publicly try and humiliate others. It is not acceptable to threaten others and attempt to intimidate them.

I sincerely hope that nobody reading this has the least clue what I am talking about. If you do understand because you have suffered this type of attack recently then you have my support and my sympathy. If you know that this is the kind of behaviour that you have been engaging in then I hope you take a long hard look at yourself and seriously debate why you bother to engage with the knitting community if that is how you wish to treat others within it.

This is my blog and I will always state my honest opinions on it. These will never be personal unsubstantiated attacks and all readers are welcome to leave comments, no matter if they disagree with me. I will not, however, be cowed into only posting nicey nicey crap as I do believe that it is important to be able to post freely and without fear of the knitting mafia.

Rant over.
