in respond to a certain ridiculing post

First of all, I am not ridiculing anyone.
Second of all, I feel there is a need to explain something to certain people.
Mind the crude language used, my first paper is 3 days away and I am tired and I could not care less how I write about this post.
Third, there will be no continuation of this post. If the particular person still wishes to write things about me, then be my guess. I shall not partake in another blog wars. It is tiring. I do not want another Spanish Inquisitions in my blog.
And to other dear readers, do not ask who. I do not want to incite hatred. Let there be peace between me and him. Tq.

Maybe your post is not entirely about me, but partially, it is still about me, no? I shall not write a lengthy post. I have far greater things to do (especially for the upcoming exam) rather than ranting about poo-litics.

It gives me sheer headache to actually see how certain people judge others (me in this case) based on Facebook post alone. Do not fret, it is obvious that people are offended by recent Facebook post about a certain public figure in Malaysia. It is understandable, it is already rooted in our culture to judge others unconsciously (whether you want to believe it or not). 

You know, I hope you do not have this idea of you are the only enlightened one who goes around debating on what is wrong and what is right. Do not be absurd, just because I somehow having a hard time believing DSAI is guilty due to lack of evidence DOES NOT make me a zealous worshiper of PKR. I like Saifuddin Abdullah too, so does that mean I am a BN fanatic now?
Just because I said that a person is innocent does not mean I am a hardcore fan of the mentioned person. You hardly ever knew me. Do not draw conclusions out of fallacies.

Okay, the verdict of the court decides that Anwar is innocent, and some people who are obviously unsatisfied with the verdict will say that there is lack of evidence to prove that he is actually innocent (I find this extremely contradictory - if there is lack of evidence, would anyone ever be guilty?). Let me ask you back, do you have solid evidence(s) that he is guilty instead? Well if he is indeed guilty then I will be more than happy to condemn his action as well. Seriously I will. If you do not have enough evidence and you still say he is guilty - is not that a fitnah too?

Oh and I would like to see who on earth actually regards DSAI as a godly figure. I would like to condemn that person too. Extremists exist in both political wings; either you have never met with pro government zealots (which obviously can be seen in the virtual arguments in FB political pages) or you just simply ignoring them. I do not know, you know yourself better.

People can often be deceived by the way you put forward your argument. You know, there is such thing as Critical Discourse Analysis in the field of Linguistics (yeah, it is that uuuuseless field of study that many people tend to believe). Please. Some people are overusing the words "I'm neutral" when it comes to politics. Well if you are already contemplating on which party to vote, then you can no longer be perceived as neutral - unless if you are really planning to abandon your duty as a living citizen of a sovereign country and refrain yourself from voting, then I would say that your argument is indeed valid (for real). If you are neutral, why so much hate towards the opposition? That, my friend (if we really are friends), shows that you are pro-government UNCONSCIOUSLY whether you like it or not. If you really ARE neutral, then your posts should sound more like Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir's (all salute goes to her). That is what we called as neutrality - the government is condemned just as much as the opposition. However in most of your writings, all condemnations go to those who criticize the government, hardly any on those who criticize the opposition. Yes, you do mention again and again about how you dislike both parties supporters. However, I am 100% sure that you are clever enough than your actual writings, and your writings do not really show your real intentions, do not you think so?

Oh you did mention something about 3 bombings during the assembly right? Why stop covering news at the 3rd bombings? Did you ever mention that Elizabeth Wong's car was being bombed? Does not that imply something? You said you are neutral, it is funny to see that you accidentally spaced that out. Let me guess, it is just another PKR hooligan that placed the bomb inside her car so that all blame can go to the government right? I thought so.

I do not know about other people in your friend list, but I DO criticize BOTH wings' flaws, for YOUR information. Just because I do not discuss it with YOU or in the social networking sites does not mean I do not discuss it at all. How in the world do you know what I have been doing with my peers here? Do tell, I am curious. Are you psychic?

No I am not defending myself because I terasa or because of my egoistic nature that refuses to believe the truth that you tried to tell the rest of the world, I am defending myself because the truth apparently is not represented upon myself (I do not know about other political zealouts in your list of course - but since I'm apart of your list, then I will just defend myself).

There is a corruption everywhere, even in the government - a statement so obviously supported by Marina Mahathir as well as can be seen from her blog (couldn't cite, just feel free to read her blog).
Show me that you are indeed NEUTRAL. I am not asking you to become a criticizer of political parties, but be a REAL critic.


I am NO extremist I can tell you that. I am fine befriending people of various religious or political backgrounds - and I am sure as hell that I can prove you so here in my social environment. You think I am some kind of narrow-minded conservative that despise anyone who has different sets of beliefs than me? Then you know nothing about me, and yet you dare cluster me together with a set of political extremists?

Politics is not everything to me, in fact, it is almost nothing to me. I value life more than I value politics. That you and I have in common.
What makes me DIFFERENT from you is I can befriend with any people with different sets of political beliefs. I do not use HATRED on my friends regardless of what we said on certain beliefs. Accept people for who they are, NOT because they share the same belief with you. Otherwise your view on life will be so narrowed.

FYI, mind you I also HATE extremists of both political wings. If you really have a problem with me (or any other people in your FB list, who knows) by concluding that I am just another extremist that you HATE, just remove me from your friend list. Forgive me if my FB post was crude and unjust, I am not a perfect being of God. Do note that I sometimes do not agree with your writing as well, but that does not give me any right to judge you or attack your own ideas or opinions, or HATE you. I have never posted anything like "I HATE PRO GOVERNMENTS" or anything close to it. It is funny how I actually develop some bits of happy feelings for you when you say your blog is becoming famous after being cited by so many people.

If you cherish your friends, you would never use words such as HATE to describe how you feel about your friends.
Maybe in your popular blog you feel it is okay to assemble such words against me, you have no idea how much that really hurts. But I am sure you do not really care. After all we are just two different people living in two different worlds now. 
Plus, I am just another extremist in your list of extremist friends.

What gives you the right to insult me in your writing?
Your rights of freedom of speech?

Hmm I wish an apology is in order. Thus, I apologize if cause some sort of discomfort with my writing here.
Hate me or like me, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
I really do.
