Where I’ve Been

I’ve been pretty sick for a few weeks. A combination of a virus and sinus infection and flu all at once. Because I rarely get seriously sick, I ignored it and didn’t seek medical attention until it got really, really bad. And immediately after recovering from that I had to move to a new apartment. Then I had to catch up on missed work.
So outside of commenting on some of my favorite blogs here and there, I haven’t had the time or energy to do much in the way of posting. But I’m all better now. So I plan to make up for lost time.

One thing that made me know I had to come back soon was some of the fan mail I received in my absence. Take the following for example:

You are a pretentious cunt. Why should anyone care what book you are reading? don?t you have a job or a life or friends? Of course you don?t have friends. No human being could stand to being around someone whose head is shoved this far up his own ass for more than five minutes without killing themselves. Now I?m sure there are a lot of people who love your ?work? but these people are probably all just as pathetic and depraved as you are. They probably write blogs as well. God I hate blogs. What is it that makes you people think someone would care what the fuck you think?

If you feel the need to respond don?t write some half assed ?well what makes you any better? bullshit. I?m infinitely better for I?m only doing this because I bored and I hate blogers. I don?t make a habit out this.

Touching. How could I stay away any longer knowing I inspire others the way I do?

    T, what a relief to have to back. I was getting worried.

    I echo Benedict here. Precisely what does this blowhard think elevates his opinion above the rest of us “pretentious cunts” who share our opinions. Sounds to me like the only reason he doesn’t blog about his heartfelt vitriol is that he lacks the technical wherewithal and the logic to string actual ideas together. Case of the colander calling the kettle black, except that his case is filled with holes. People most love to despise those most like themselves, just like fundamentalist preachers do. Oh well, the internet does attract all sorts of embittered asshats with strong opinions they lack the balls to express in person. Doubtless if he met you in person he’d insincerely toady about your feet like Gollum for fear of getting his ass handed to him.

    Good to have you back T. Glad you are feeling better. Keep putting your opinions out there for those of us who enjoy an cogent debate.

    Guys, guys: to respond to such people is to implicitly take them slightly seriously. Baaaaaad idea.

    I have a sense of humor about it, I thought it was funny. If you’re going to hate, hate with insane, irrational passion. I’ve gotten hate mail before, but usually of the bland variety. Apparently this dude found my blog through my Dark Knight review and never got over it.

    The best part is the “I’m only doing it because I’m bored” disclaimer.

    Oh dear, looks like someone didn’t get enough hugs from Mummy. Who’s probably in the attic, no doubt.

    T: glad to have you back, good to know you’re well again.

    Damn, I’m jealous. That’s some quality hate mail.

    T –

    It’s good to know that you weren’t eaten by a flesh-eating psycho-cunt priest or something, and were merely ill. :) Glad you’re feeling better, Mate.

    Welcome Home,

    If it weren’t of these kinds of emails, I would have stopped blogging a long time ago, myself.
