COMMENTS FROM STUPID PEOPLE

I love comments on my blog; especially comments that indicate the person read the post.  Recently I received my first angry, nasty comments.  Finally, I think I may have arrived.  If you write satire and don’t piss of at least one ignoramus you need to rethink what you are doing.

Here are my first really NEGATIVE comments; with I hope more to come:

In response to my blog “COMMENTS THAT SUCK” http://joeh-crankyoldman.blogspot.com/2011/09/comments-that-suck.html coronaryrn was a bit upset that I did not understand the follow for follow sake concept.  I expected that, but this venom still surprised me. 

Well it is apparent that you use blog hops because everyone that has commented here found you via one of the blog hops....And I know no matter how cranky you might be that you knew when you wrote this that it would end up in getting you comments thereby lowering your Alexa numbers! You may not like it but those of us that might leave such comments might be working very hard to lower our Alexa comments also and it is entirely possible that some of us might just hop to over 200 sites a weekend, sometimes as much in one day. Hopping is a reciprocal thing! The idea is to get comments, It is not important what the comments say, what is important is that you are getting comments! All of this which you already know and as such is evident by the post to anyone with any brain. If you don't want to hop to a mommy blog, don't join a mommy hop! Just like if you don't want to hop to Photography blogs, one shouldn't join a picture hop! I really don't care if someone that is so shallow as to take the time to cut down those that are helping him/her by taking the time to leave ANY comment follows me back or not, that is not someone I would care to have even for a distant aquaintance via the internet! So no, I will not leave you a link to any of my blog or facebook or twitter sites! You sir, have NO class and even grumpy old men have at least a small amount of class, in fact most of the grumpy old men I have known in my 52 years have more class in their little finger than you have in one keystroke! You are right you will lose readers, and I am one!

I have since Googled Alexa numbers and I still do not completely understand them or particularly care.  I must admit, the last line is my favorite.  Wouldn’t the “class in a little finger” compared to the “class in a key stroke” be about a wash?   

 This next one comes from Anonymous who I believe is from Georgia and found my blog “CRANKY OLD MAN AT DISNEY ANIMAL KINGDOM” http://joeh-crankyoldman.blogspot.com/2011/09/cranky-old-man-at-disney-animal-kingdom.html while searching Google on keywords “fat people in Disney Animal Kingdom."  I’m not sure what touched her off, it was probably because I had the nerve to suggest the fat people on scooters move over in line and let the Afghanistan veteran, who was walking the park with a prosthetic arm and a prosthetic leg, cut ahead in the rides lines. 

 Your entire family, including your "crancketts" are hideously ugly! Surprising since you are so critical of others. Ever heard the suppression, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? Maybe if you weren't such an asshole the karma gods would have smiled more on you guys in the looks department......YIKES!

First off, my “Crankettes” are incredibly cute so her message is just silly.  Secondly please note her incorrect use of “surprising” (it makes no sense in this context), and the use of “suppression” instead of “expression”.  This could not be a simple typo.  I am guessing Anonymous is not the brightest bulb in the lamp.    

 Thank you for all your comments, especially those which indicate you read the posts.
