Jaded Cynicism is easy. If you start caring about people, people you don't know who call for help, whether they really want what you have to offer or not, than.. you get burned. Repeatedly. Because not everyone will agree with you, believe what you say, want what you offer, and there isn't a damn thing you can do to change their mind. Jaded Cynicism is EASY. Getting past it and being a better person is not.
Good luck to Janelle. I hope that she can find that befriending Ix makes things better. I know that, before the July kerfuffle, I thought Ix and I were friends. We watched each other's journals and responded, but then she started going after people on the boards and I didn't really like or approve of it, and then she went after Slappy, Obs and I. And then I definitely disliked her.
