I think I can be nice while making it clear I don't tolerate someone's behavior.
Actually, I know I can.
I used to do it all the time on AF... I actually stopped doing it when DFDM and EP maddened me so much with some of their comments that I gave up on putting that effort in.
I'm gonna try to not lower myself to the level of mean people anymore. I can let them know they are bothering me without throwing insults back at them. That's how I naturally am. I'm not an angry person, and I shouldn't let anyone change that.
I think the best way to let my friends know I feel protective of them, is to just be me -- and when I stand up for them, to do it in a kind way... but to still be clear that being mean to my friends is intolerable to me.

LOL, no I'm awful! I need to be more like you! You never have a mean word to say to anyone, and you are always bringing positivity to every thread.

I used to be the same... I'm naturally a nice person. Honest. Lol.
I'm not a very angry person either, it's just hard sometimes.
* Edwardo Piet must keep his turtley dignity
* Edwardo Piet just feels protective about people he cares about
* Edwardo Piet only seems to get angry when people are mean to his friends
* Edwardo Piet is wondering if he can express his anger in a nicer way
* Edwardo Piet wonders if he should
* Edwardo Piet wonders if sometimes giving a mean person a taste of their own medicine is a good idea
* Edwardo Piet is unsure. It's hard sometimes.
* Edwardo Piet wants to protect his friends without being too mean but also wants to be taken seriously when he is protective in a less angry manner
It's hard sometimes. It's not easy being green (or a turtle (or a green turtle (lol (yes I know I overdid the brackets (fuck I am still doing it! (I also overdid the "/me"s.... (fuck I'm STILL doing it (okay I'll stop with the brackets now))))))).

* Edwardo Piet thinks he should stop being such a perfectionist and just be himself It's not like there's actually a problem to be fixed lol. There's a difference between self-improvement and being too self-critical.

I'm really fine though.
