What the hell am I doing at the top of the list over there? Um. Hello,
everyone, I guess.

Anyways, I thought I'd eludicate a little more (because you're all so
interested, haha). I explained this in a few of my comments below, but I
certainly don't expect anyone to slog though comments if you're curious.

I originally discovered PFB through the childfree community on Livejournal,
mostly making fun of some of the parent-and-child related letters that had
been posted (no, I'm not trying to stir things up about that community, I'm
just giving some background). I came here expecting to poke a little fun
and, in all honestly, rile some people up. No, not the smartest or most
mature thing to do, but yeah, I'm not the smartest or most mature either.

Anyways, what I didn't expect was to find a community of such decent,
helpful, and intelligent people. I started hanging around more (especially
because it's worksafe and I'm coming to you most definitely from work) and
posting comments for letters on other topics, not just child/parent related
ones. Now I find that I've caused a whole lot of trouble and angered a lot
of people I otherwise would have regretted bothering.

So here I am, caught between my values (as extreme as they may be) and
wanting to make things right. I guess it's your choice if you want to
consider me a decent contributor, but I'm going to make an effort to be
less abrasive and less difficult.

I appreciate everyone's helpful comments. Honestly.

My goodness, I should probably explain a few things here. I didn't really
expect to cause as much trouble as I apparently have, but hey.

I'm 22, cat lover, gamer, and now a library science major. I'm starting at
U of M next fall. I'm also a customer service rep for a utility company
(formerly for Amway's call center, ugh), which is why I'm here.

That's probably not what you're wondering if you're looking here, though.
To answer the question--YES, I DISLIKE CHILDREN AND HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH
CHILD-RELATED ENTITLEMENT. I feel this is a big issue in consumer rights,
because people who have children are NOT entitled to greater rights than
the rest of us.

THAT'S REALLY AS FAR AS IT GOES, FOLKS. I don't hate YOU, or YOUR KIDS,
I'm not bitter or upset about it and it's not my entire life. If you're
insecure to the point where an opposing opinion upsets you, then you need
to ignore me. I have as much of a right as anyone else to express my
opinion on issues that affect me as a consumer.

I'm actually really nice. Fancy that.
