WTF!!!??? What Did I Do To You???

Back in Mid October, I got a comment to this blog that was rather hostile. As a result, I chose to delete it, but my conscience has been bothering me for doing so, as the act of just deleting it goes against my beliefs as a Liberal; that whole freedom of speech thing and all. Thus, I shall, through the use of that wonder of cut and paste, reproduce it here. [Please note that any and all errors in grammar are faithfully reproduced from the original. I used different fonts and a different color to differentiate the comments from my reply.]

"You are really a pathetic man.You use big words to make it seem like you are really smart.All you want is somebody to clean your house,pay your bills and give you sex when you want it.You talk about your job and how much you dislike it..Be lucky you even have one at all with the attitude you have.To top it off..you voted for a man that has no idea of how to run a country..Get a life buddy..You seem like a self absorbed looser to me with nothing else to do than write on a stupid blog.You are not even good looking at all.I can see why you are on Match.com..... I myself was on Match.com and all the so called men on that sight are just players and liars that really don't have any clue as what a real realationship is..Good luck finding what ever it might be that you are searching for."

Okay, that is the unedited version of the comment. Now, I am not so Liberal as to not take advantage of being the "head blogger what be in charge" here and allow it to go without response. Allow me to indulge in my editorial reply, point by point.

"You are really a pathetic man." Really? How would you know? Based on what deep and well-thought-out knowledge is such a harsh and negative judgment made? You know me? I doubt it. If you are an ex-girlfriend, might I suggest you have the courage of your convictions and call me on the phone to bitch at me in a less public forum?

"You use big words to make it seem like you are really smart." Actually, I thought being articulate in one's native tongue was, by definition, part of being smart. I have been accused of using 25-cent words when 5-cent words will do. I plead guilty as charged. However, I do not use words that I cannot define or use in a sentence correctly. I suggest that if you are not able to understand the words I use, that you take the opportunity to better yourself by utilizing that publication called a dictionary and learn a new word or two. Personally, I find the concept that I have to dumb myself down to your level of ignorance abhorrent (look it up). Just for the record, I do not use big words to make myself seem smart. I really am smart, and it ain't bragging if it's true. Very clearly, this individual enters a battle of wits unarmed. I also know this is not an ex-girlfriend as they would know I really am smarter than the average bear.

"All you want is somebody to clean your house,pay your bills and give you sex when you want it." First, I own a modest house that I keep clean all by myself. I do my own laundry, even. Okay, I will admit that I do not mow my own lawn, I choose to pay someone to mow over three acres. Call me lazy. Second, I am very well able to pay any and all of my bills and enjoy a very expensive hobby called aviation. Hell, I own a plane for cryin' out loud. My cars, yes a couple of them, were paid for in cash. I have no credit card debt, no mortgage and no car payments. I can live on a $1,000 a month if required, but it isn't required as I make a lot more than that, fortunately. How badly do I need someone to pay my bills? Finally, I plead absolutely and unapologetically guilty to wanting to find someone with whom I can have sex anytime I want it. Also whenever they want it or whenever anyone else wants us to if that increases the number of times we have sex. Having said that, I would do my best to please my partner in that regard and try my best to give as good as I get. It is purely selfish...they may want to do it more often if I am any good at it.

"You talk about your job and how much you dislike it. Be lucky you even have one at all with the attitude you have." You misunderstand. I do not hate my job. Clearly, you did not read my article on hate, but anyway, I actually enjoy my job and I am very happy to have a job in this economy, although I will admit the five or six years I was retired were a lot more fun. What I complain about (not hate) is the pinheads for whom I work. They are inefficient, ineffective, intellectually dishonest and moral and ethical cowards. Since I work for a governmental agency, paid for by my tax dollars as much as yours, I reserve the Right to suggest how that agency can be run more effectively and efficiently; more Americans should. That is my opinion and belief, to which I am entitled. We live in a wonderful country where we can agree to disagree. I fought for that Right, for you and the rest of this country, and do not recall anyone abrogating (again...look it up) it for me.

"To top it off..you voted for a man that has no idea of how to run a country." Again, we will have to agree to disagree. You have the absolute Right to your opinion, as do I. Please vote your conscience, those of us who served in the military (maybe even you) paid for it, please exercise it. As I have said before, I have defended, at the risk of my life, your Right to shout at the top of your lungs an opinion I would spend a lifetime opposing.  I actually have a complaint with Obama.  In my opinion, he should have ignored the entire Republican Party, told them, "Sit down, shut and hold on.  You're in for a Hell of a ride!"  Then he should have used the Democratic majority in the House and Senate to ram legislation through, but he chose to try to be bi-partisan with an opposition that is not a "loyal" opposition determined to improve the country, but an opposition dedicated to maintaining their own power at all costs and lining their own pockets.

"Get a life buddy." First, I am clearly not your buddy. Second, I have a life. A good life, in fact an excellent life. Hell, if life where any better I would have to be twins, but I am human and I just like to bitch. That, we appear to have in common.

"You seem like a self absorbed looser to me with nothing else to do than write on a stupid blog." Not that I wish to nit-pick, but "looser" is spelled "loser" and self absorbed, in the context in which you use it, should be hyphenated. I write because I enjoy it, and other people have told me they enjoy reading it, but I write for me, so I would do it even if nobody liked it. Apparently the price I pay is comments from people like you. Oh, well. I don't think my blog is "stupid" and who cares anyway. You don't have to read it, now do you?

"You are not even good looking at all." You're absolutely right. I am not good looking at all. I never have claimed, nor will I ever claim, to be an Adonis or any other Greek god-like creature. I guess that is why I am paid for what I know and not what I look like. We can't all be Brad Pitt or Matt Damon or Sean Connery or Harrison Ford, but who really cares? Is it really that important? Was your purpose to demean me based on something as insignificant as my appearance; toward what end? Gee, am I a lesser person because I am not model handsome? Thank God, I do not judge based on such superficial criteria.

"I can see why you are on Match.com." Not that I really care what you think as to why I am on Match.com, or more accurately, was on Match.com, but I was there looking to find someone. I do not hang out in bars, and live in a place that the dating pool is more like a shallow puddle. Match.com deepened the dating pool. Is there something about that that you feel demeans me in some way? I note you were on that site as well.  Is this the pot calling the kettle black?  The fact you were apparently not able to find someone, not surprising, actually, may have more to do with your nasty attitude than a failure on the part of Match.com and the people on it.

"I myself was on Match.com and all the so called men on that sight are just players and liars that really don't have any clue as what a real realationship is." Okay...In no particular order of importance; "so called" should be hyphenated when modifying a pronoun and "realationship" is spelled wrong. Might I, at this point, recommend spell check? Clearly, I doubt that you have met every man on Match.com, so any judgment about every man on that site must be purely a guess on your part. I will not presume to think you are a slut, so you cannot have dated that many men from that site. Thus, your sample is probably not large and therefore not terribly representative of "all men" on the site and I doubt they are all "just players [whatever that means] and liars that really don't have any clue what a real relationship is." By the way, you really shouldn't end a sentence in a preposition, comments by Winston Churchill to the contrary (again, look it up). If I am wrong in my assumption and you have dated a statistically significant sample of all men on Match.com, I am sorry, you may be right in your assessment, but you really are a slut!

"Good luck finding what ever it might be that you are searching for." Thank you, your sarcasm notwithsatnding. Note, whatever, is one word and again, what is it with you and the prepositions?

In conclusion and to summarize; what the Hell did someone do to you to make you so incredibly bitter? Do you have something genuinely wedged so far up your ass that it causes you to be this way? See a proctologist, will ya? Have you been hurt so badly by someone that your outlook on life can be this negative? If this is the case, please find a male friend and have them pummel that individual repeatedly about the head and shoulders with a baseball bat. They deserve it if they created an attitude like yours in anyone. However, I would suggest, as an alternative, that if you find that you have been with multiple men that all fit the same mold, that of bad boy that has treated you badly, you might try choosing someone that does not fit that mold. At the risk of being the victim of more abuse, take a look at my blog on bad boys. You might learn something.

The Defense rests!!
