Just a note to all of you reading this blog…I got my first “hate mail” comment today. HURRAY! Obviously I made such an impact on “John Doe”‘s life that s/he felt compelled to leave me a rambling comment about how much I fail at life.
Wrong way to comment: You are one of the shittiest writers’ ever. You SUCK!!! Go back to school or something you ignorant piece of shit. Do the journalism world a favor and f***ing kill your self you dumb f***ing c*** licking f***er!!!!-John Doe (yes, this is an actual real comment)
Right way to comment: You should try reading over your entries before you post them. I don’t agree with your writing but here are some tips on how to improve it…etc.-Not an actual comment but ideal feedback
I am not approving Sir John Doe’s comment to be viewed in its original form because, other than being offensive, childish, cowardly, hypocritical, and just plain stupid, it has naughty words in it that will burn children’s eyes.
And if you’re reading this, John, next time try checking your grammar before you post about how “shitty” someone’s writing is.
I’m pretty sure having three exclamation points after an all-capped word alone is enough to invalidate John Doe’s point.
“Do the journalism world a favor and…” Really? Maybe do the “real world” a favor and don’t take a blog so seriously as to assume it has any right at all in the world of “journalism”. It’s a blog. Seriously.
