You'll notice that below this entry I posted the text of an email that came to me just a day or so ago which praised me for the buddhist information that I created. Well, it's been a good couple of days since as I've had people contact me through icq and through the AOL messenger giving me similar kind words. The last one, just a bit ago was through icq and that woman -nicknamed 'Amethyst' was kind enough to praise the layout and content of the site.

Many times I get people who contact me and are angry that I have information and pictures that might cause someone to rethink their viewpoint on the death penalty or who believe that I am somehow being insensitive to victims. Those bits of hostility directed toward me are not fun to receive. Sometimes people will complain to me that they think I 'like' gory or horrific pictures since I have such pictures available on my site. I tell those people that those who seek such pictures for the sake of seeing gore and horror are likely defective and with something wrong in their way of thinking. I know some people who recently sought out pictures of beheadings of american hostages. My opinion of the people who seek those sorts of pictures is a negative one. I have little respect for people who find that entertaining and who seek their entertainment in the pain and suffering of others. There is something exceedingly vile in that.

I appreciate that someone would feel strongly enough to express their viewpoint to me personally even if it is a negative one and sometimes hostile. I would say though that I more warmly receive the kinder comments. This is perhaps a fault of mine but it is nevertheless so. For people like Amethyst who can see the overall depth of my site I'd like to say that I will continue to use the same criteria to enlarge and fill out my site of that which seems right to me and what expresses who I am. Thanks most kindly.
