it's like meeting the real Santa. no, wait. I think I'm spelling that wrong.

I used to think you had to volunteer to be belittled in Joe Mallozzi's blog, but apparently they're drafting people now.

You know, I really thought about engaging with him (if only to correct the clear misreading of the last quote he puts up there -- I hope it's obvious to all of you that I didn't mean you could ONLY care about people you'd met, only that you were BOUND to do so, while it's often a lot more hit-or-miss with strangers) -- and then I remembered that we're talking about Joe Mallozzi, and that the reason I don't communicate with him *to start with* is that I think he's an asshole who treats the fans foolish enough to play that game like dirt. That hasn't changed, so I can't see where commenting would do me much good.

But I thought I'd let y'all know I was being talked about over there. It's practically like being famous!

Personal Translation:

"Hi, I'm an asshole who doesn't realize how interconnected the internet is and I like responding to things out of context!"

Really, they had me until they ran with the "let's threaten the pregnant woman!" plot. Please shoot me.

I feel the tiniest bit sorry for him, because I can fully imagine that it can't be fun to have people running up to you essentially saying, "What do you have to say to total strangers on the internet who call you an incompetent asshole?" Clearly he's got no idea where my post is coming from; it's totally out-of-the-blue excoriation as far as he's concerned, and it would probably tick anyone off a little.

Of course, that doesn't explain why he's an ass to everyone *else* who wins a cameo in his blog. Also, it doesn't explain why he actually is an incompetent fuckweasel who doesn't know what "colonialism" means. But anyway, I'm just saying, I'd be pissed, too.

Excellent point, but you're right. I think he still could have been the "bigger man" if he'd actually, ya know, thought before he responded.

"Incompetent Fuckweasel" = Made of Win

New favorite phrase. I am going to use that DAILY.
