The Biggest Insult

You know how sometimes you might be on YouTube or on Facebook (I wouldn't know; I personally think Facebook is stupid--GASP!!) and someone makes some really nasty, bitchy comment, and you try to squelch the urge to write back but you can't?

Yeah. I had one of those moments only five minutes ago.

See, I was on YouTube, watching a music video, and I wrote, "Taylor Swift could really stand to learn from Sara Bareilles. She should be taking notes," and then only about two seconds later some douchebag writes back, saying, "You're a bitch. Who are you to insult Taylor Swift?"

I sat there, a little stunned. I wasn't insulted by the 'you're a bitch' but rather by the fact that they thought it would be that easy to insult me. Hello? I've heard worse insults from my therapist!

I was gritting my teeth, doing my best not to write back and Caps-Lock write them, but ultimately I failed.

I wrote, "I'm not a bitch, merely an opinionated person. Secondly, I'm not insulting Taylor Swift, but rather making a comment. If you are a true Taylor Swift fan, I apologize. Furthermore, you might want to get a bit more creative with your insults, FYI. I was laughing."

Inwardly, but it's the same thing! The person must have been sitting in a chair, their eyes boring into the computer screen, since only about ten seconds later they wrote back:

"Oh yeah? I can get creative, *BEEP!* It's only a matter of *BEEP* time until you start crying."

Now I was just irritated. Really, who did this person think they were? I HATE internet fights, but now I knew I couldn't just walk away. My jaw clenched, I typed, "It's more gratifying to insult someone using wit and intelligence as opposed to violence or cussing. And much more civilized, I might add."

A couple minutes passed until they finally went, "Fine, bitch," and I knew I'd won.

Seriously, though! It was an insult to my high intelligence that they'd thought a careless 'bitch' would insult me. I'd cry?! Get real!
