Daylia, I'm not convinced you are making such an effort to change. You have quoted another Catter to use as an example of the behavior modification you're preaching about, and humiliated him/her in the process.

Just because you didn't compose a nasty, rhyming, childish poem about them (as you did me) doesn't make your current methods any less insulting.

Being new to the internet is no excuse for making up nasty rhymes about people and reciting them in public--I mean, didn't you learn about that in the schoolyard?

I have seen this on the 'Net before--people try to make up for their past behavior by demonizing that behavior in others, instead of just owning what they've done and acknowledging it for what it is.
