General - not political - question - Have you ever read something here that just makes your blood boil?

Something written by someone you know is the biggest, most hurtful, cruel, load of crap and lies you've ever read and you know it? Something designed to garner sympathy and play on more good women's emotions. Well, it happened to me tonight. I am so angry right now it is difficult to find a civil thought in my head. If I was any less a person, someone would be getting an earful tonight by any means necessary. It is probably a good thing my user name is "Lady" Bronte - reminds me of who I am - better than the kind of person to let loose the torrent of words and thoughts that are currently running through my mind. That being said, so help me God - if you ever come back here and try that "poor little me" "so misunderstood" act with anyone else, I WILL fucking out you for all it's worth. If you are still here, under a new profile and are reading this - you know who you are. I am not, nor have ever been, a vindictive, angry person, but there's only so much a good heart can take, before all bets are off. You are a bastard.

*Just a general FYI - Political comments will be deleted and the author of such will be blocked. I'm not in the mood to fuck around over it tonight*

Thanks. Now, you may all now return to your normal happy-go-lucky SW programming.

@NativePortlander1970 Nope, not Gen X - he's much older than that. Definitely old enough to know better by now, but at this late date, I have doubts he will ever learn.
@LadyBronte I mean You and I are Gen X

@NativePortlander1970 I am just now out of my listed age group. I am the last generation of the Baby Boomers.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@NativePortlander1970 As of my last recent birthday, I am on the next age group. I am the last of the baby boom generation.
@LadyBronte If you were born around 1961 to 1965 You are crux X'er
@LadyBronte Baby Boom was 1946 to 1960
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@NativePortlander1970 Baby boom 1946 to 1964.

@NativePortlander1970 This must be a new designation. It has been listed at 1964 since I was a kid in school. 🤷🏼‍♀
@LadyBronte Stauss and Howe defined the generations in 1991, way past when You and I were in school...

@NativePortlander1970 That is a newer desgnation from a book written by those two partners in 1991. It is not the widely accepted designations that have been in use long before I was in grade school. There is significant evidence of this via writings and publications dating from the 1960s and earlier, including Encyclopedia of Brittanica which no one was using by 1991. I am old school and don't put much validity in newer assignments because I tend to have a world view closer to those of the baby boomer generation than those of the Gen X. 🤷🏼‍♀

@LadyBronte Stauss and Howe designated the generations in their book
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@NativePortlander1970 Yes. They tried to change the widely accepted designations in the 90s. But even the census bureau still attributes designations as they originally were. Anyone can write a book with their opinions, but it doesn't mean it is ever considered mainstream belief.

This is the actual Census Bureau website designations that are considered true and correct for today's information - revised in 2025. It has not changed because of Stauss & Howe's opinion in their book. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025/birth-cohorts-geographic-mobility-report.html

@NativePortlander1970 I don’t think being correct would be called an obsession.

A simple fact check on Google shows the Boomer age bracket switched after 1964, NP.
