conflicts & nasty names
I do not like conflict. It makes me feel sick to my stomach. I do not like feeling powerless. I do not like having to care if someone gets angry at Howard and pledges never to send him money again. I see that “out of savings” deadline coming closer while I scramble every single day to not spend money and push that deadline further away. Howard scrambles every single day to put out a funny comic and to bring more money in. It wounds me deeply to have people who have never met Howard call him nasty names. I live with him. I love him. I see every single day what a wonderful, kind, caring person he is.
Yes I know that being in the public eye means being open to public abuse. That is a given. I just wish the abuse didn’t hurt so much.
Oh, and if anyone uses the comments field in this post to defend their position on why Howard is a horrible person, I WILL delete the post. If you decide never to send him money again, that’s fine. It’s your money. I will not allow Howard abuse in my journal.
