Comments Are a Good Thing, Right?

Saturday, July 12th, 2003

It seems the same person who has spammed my forum is spamming my weblog, too. That person’s IP address will be blocked if there are any more infractions. Worse, I know them in person, so they might as well quit while they’re ahead.

The comments (now deleted) that I received:
Would u be mad if I said “You’re stupid.” to you?

No?

Then I won’t.
Then why bother commenting? Furthermore, what idiot with absolutely no life whatsoever has the time to post stuff like this? No one cares. I want CONSTRUCTIVE comments, critique, not criticism. If you don’t like me, go make your own website and flame me all you want. This is my turf.

U actually look out the window at the scenery? U said u were reading books, and c’mon, what kid cares about scenery anyway?
In thirteen hour car drive you begin to care. Only immature children without any appreciation for nature or anything else would be completely uncaring about the world around them. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. And yes, I did say I read most of the way, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t look up now and then. This one was barely worth answering.

That’s about all I have to say for today. And that nasty (and annoying) spammer better realize that life is about more than skateboarding and letting your parents spoil you. Try to be at least somewhat grateful for things that you don’t or can’t own.

This brings me to something else I should have said on day one. This is my site. Brettia is my site. I’ll do what I want, say what I want, and if you don’t like it, you can go spend a few hundred hours of your time and make your own little site so you can tell everyone how much you hate me. Until then, refrain from purely negative comments and you’ll be fine.

I am going to do my best to be truthful here. The truth can hurt. By reading this or any other entry, you are accepting that truth in advance, and I will not be held liable for what I say here. If you don’t want to know what I think of you, don’t read this weblog. If you do want to know my opinion, be prepared for it. You might not like it. I will, however, attempt to provide a reason for negative things I might say about people, so you’ll at least know what you’re doing wrong.

Don’t expect everything here to be exactly what I think. If I blog while I’m in a towering rage, there’s a good chance I might not be nice toward anyone I might mention in the entry. It’s not always my fault.

Every entry is off the record. The entries cannot be quoted, summarized, or reproduced without my written permission. If I write something incriminating, it cannot be used as evidence. (Don’t worry, I haven’t done anything illegal, this is just a precaution.) A weblog is supposed to be a retreat for a person’s mind, and that entire idea is broken if I have to censor my writing to make people happy or to keep myself out of trouble.

I’m telling you right now, you have a choice. Don’t read if you don’t want to. No one’s forcing you. If I say something here, don’t take it personally. Most people I know have many more endearing qualities than bad ones, though I may tend to pick out the negative more than the positive. I’m not Anne Frank.

So…yeah. By the way, I’m in Missouri now, on the last leg of my little vacation. My great-grandpa’s big party is tomorrow; I’m semi-excited, but there’ll be about 200 people there…not good for a kid. Especially when most of the adults will be telling me how much I’ve grown (as if I don’t know already) and trying to remember when they saw me last. I have to direct parking, too.

But I’m coming home Sunday!!! Yaaay! But then I get ten days of hard summer homework and it’s off to Europe. (Yaaay! x2) So bye for now…it’s 12 AM here but only ten in Arizona. I think I gain hours on the way back…or do I lose them…?
