In case you were wondering: EDITED (check note at bottom)

Simon Cowell is my hero!

Why?

Because he says, with the courage of his convictions, what he thinks. No sugar coating. No pulling of punches. You know exactly where you stand. All the time. He does not do it to hurt anyone's feelings. He does it because anything less would be a lie.

He owns it.

He is truly someone to be admired.

You are welcome to disagree with him. Offer a good argument and he might just change his mind. But it better be a damned good argument. Otherwise, why change?

I get it! The difference between me and Simon? Not much - except maybe bank account. He's perceived to be an ass (though, week after week, the majority agrees with him with their votes on American Idol) but he doesn't care because he knows he is right. Me? I'm perceived to be an ass and words that can't be put on this blog, by a group of Goddesses (bwahahahahaha!) but you know, I don't care because I know I'm right.

Oh, and up to this point, in the whole time I've had this blog there have been a sum total of four - FOUR - posts about any member of your group. Not even the ones you assume are about you. Oh, the colossal EGO! You are angry and mean spirited, hiding behind someone who does your dirty work for you. Shame on you. Shame on you.

Enough. I'm done.

I am no longer responsible for you "reading into" posts and phantom "digs" that simply aren't there. You deal with your own insecurities and guilt. Think what you want. You're all a bunch of losers.

Oh, and those Goddesses "not involved" - you are, truly, judged by the company you keep. Silence is consent.

My friend, Mary, took exception to this phrase above. She cited a couple of her friends who are on this particular message board (I am not, I only know those I have the brief misfortune of interacting with earlier this year) and did not realize that I hurt Mary's feelings by posting the two sentences above.

This was part of my note to her: Maybe I should have written "Goddesses I know are Goddesses" because the comment was directed at C and T and that nasty woman who runs it - all who are hiding behind L. I'm not a member of that board, I wouldn't know who is a member and who isn't. I just know those whom I've interacted and those women are not nice. I didn't know S was on and I truly do not think of P as a goddess (in my mind, P is "Mary's good friend").

To P and S and anyone else who is on that board and wondering WTF? I apologise for lumping you in with three or four members of a message board which I assume is made up of more than three or four bad apples. A poor choice of words and I apologise to you who are not involved. I'm leaving the words because I own them. Right or wrong. And in this case, I am wrong.
