Dude, pathetic much?
Mar. 11th, 2005 09:38 amOkay, I'm as much of a feedback whore as anyone, but I had to laugh my ass off at the e-mail in my mailbox this morning.
Over on BAPS, Alane has consistently posted AtS Season 5 DVD reviews. One review from some website (beats the hell out of me what it was) spent half the AtS review complaining about the way that Spike took over BtVS (tm). My response -- ON BAPS -- was that the guy sounded like a complete ass.
Well, apparently the guy must also be a bit of a feedback whore because he wrote me defending his review and saying he wasn't an ass.
Now, if I had, you know, ever visited the website where he had written the review, maybe I could see his writing me (though that would have been an odd case of tracking IPs). Had I ever written to him, I could see his writing to me. Had I even posted my response on a public usenet newsgroup, I could see him writing to me (though wouldn't a post be a more appropriate response?).
However, I had posted the "What an ASS!" comment on a Spike Redemptionist yahoo group!
The guy got so upset that I had a 3 sentence response on a yahoogroup that he personally wrote to me.
Dude, how needy of validation are you? Do you take it personally when radom people who have never written to you take exception to your reviews? So much so that you e-mail someone who never went to your website or ever wrote to you?! Or am I to think he didn't seek out the BAPS's responses? Not like they were posted on HIS website. What? This guy who frothed about how Spike "took over BtVS"tm belonged to a Spike Redemptionist group? I don't think so!
Or did he just google his own damn name yesterday to see if anyone had spoken about him ANYWHERE on the web?
However he sought out the post, (and he really had to seek it out, follow a link, something) *snicker* He then got offended that a totally random person thought that he came off as an ass. . . and he WROTE HER --er... me-- to complain about my reaction to his review!
LOL! I couldn't even think of a coherent response for him other than "Dude! Did you google your name? How in the hell did you see my post in the first place?"
(Should I google my name to see if one of my Duckie insults wound up on a Duck board? Then should I be upset if they didn't *gasp* like my insulting ducks? Perhaps I should write the Duck and be all aghast that she/he/it would think I'm an ass. *snicker*)
Next, my e-mail will be filled with responses from Ace, Sep, Ms Alli, Marti, James Reilly, and Megan McTavish.
... and I really need to can the Hurley-speak.
