Because apparently this needs to be said.
If you're sitting there thinking to yourself: "Self, is it appropriate for me to compare a woman blogger I have never met and who speaks extensively about abusive relationships and about her own experience in an abusive marriage to an 'abusive spouse' on the grounds that she has a strict comment policy in her space in order to keep herself and others safe and to maintain self-care and I just plain fucking don't like that and want to be allowed to say whatever shit I want without being asked to take my shit elsewhere?"
The answer is no. No, that is not appropriate. For fuck's sake.

If I come into your garden, one you have tended with much love and patience, a place that has let you heal from an abusive tragedy, I need to respect the boundaries you set, not go tromping all over the flowers. Even if it's by mistake it is not respectful. I do make lots of mistakes. And anyone who complains that they can't run around playing frisbee in your garden regardless of the flowers and bushes, like they do in their friends' gardens, never belonged in the first place.
Why do so many people, myself included, find that so hard to understand.

Sheesh, you'd think some things would go without saying, but apparently not. If you're the sort of person who needs this sort of advice, you have some learning you need to do on your own before you're ready to interact with other people. You could try reading Miss Manners for a while. She's pretty good about explaining this kinda thing.

Say WHAT? *stunned stupid blinking* I... no. Just no. That someone said that is really, really awful.
I wish I found the fact that someone said that surprising.

"For fucks sake" is right-how does one make such an absurd connection to begin with?
