Attention epistolarians

May 02, 2006 03:15

I was reading a journal entry of a friend of a friend and became increasingly irritated by the content. This person chose a particularly long and unsatisfying way of saying "Love is the desire for two to become one, but that's hard." YEAH, AND THE SKY IS FUCKING BLUE AND CHINESE PEOPLE HAVE SLANTED EYES ( Read more... )

It's the internet. We're all a bunch of posers here.

It is at least as lame to judge and denigrate a random stranger's pseudo-philosophical brain excretions on LiveJournal as it was for said random stranger to post them in the first place.

Heh. And more rules. Just what we've all been begging for. How about this one? If you don't like it, don't read it. Unless you enjoy being irritated. If that's the case, then fine, have a ball. But you would be wise to hold your own rule #3 in mind, as well as the fact that it can easily be reciprocated.

Non-judgment is a characteristic of maturity, as well as of wisdom. But if you do insist on judging, strangers certainly are an easy target, aren't they?

Wrong.

Also wrong. Mocking parody has always been the trump card in these sort of colloquies.

Actually, I get my kicks out of reading your garbage and demonstrating that all your nonsensical musings can be paraphrased just as effectively by one line in a saccharine pop song.

>Non-judgment is a characteristic of maturity, as well as of wisdom.

I'm sorry, non-judgment is not a real word. The inability to formulate a cohesive position based on personal experience and/or education is ( ... )

If you expect me to accept that "wrong" all on its lonesome is an effective rebuttal, then you'd better be prepared to give me "non-judgment".

The significant thing is that I'm not passing judgment on you, personally. Naturally I've formed opinions in regards to topics which are of importance to me. I never claimed to be without convictions. I am not, however, dismissing you as an individual out of hand based simply upon the content put forward by your internet persona. I dislike what you're saying, of course. I feel that your statements are indicative of an excessively presumptuous and unattractively petulant attitude. Regardless, I am confident that your harsh evaluation of me can be fully ascribed to misunderstanding, and the fact that, god damn it, you don't fucking know me. I am sure of this because you have clearly glossed over many layers of nuance in your estimation of my ideas as "garbage". Is it weak, is it immature, is it spineless to find things moving? If you consider it so, then I am most sorry for you. You'll fit ( ... )

Very strong words for someone using the internet's anonimity as a shield. You do realize that nobody is really anonymous on the net, don't you?

TLDR, even while bored at work. Shows how interesting big words are. But yeah, Tetsushin, my man:

1. Macho comes in all shapes and sizes, and the internet makes you stupid.

2. Trying to hate on a dude's LJ from your LJ? Yeesh. With hair and complexion like that, why aren't you out getting laid?

3. It's OK to be fat.

Please submit all responses in rhyming verse. Extra points for accompanying phat beats.

P.S. Really though, it feels like I'm lacking some context here. Criticizing any single blog for being self-indulgent or fluffy? That's like criticizing a mosquito (or sucker MC) for biting. Just from a third party's perspective, it sounds like homey said something that personally offended you. You don't go around getting this angry at the rest of the ten million LJs out there, do you?

P.P.S. I have sex with your mom every night.

Don't you hate when people post anonymously? I do. That's why I always log in to LJ before posting.

tetsushin_agito May 4 2006, 07:04:46 UTC

It is not okay to be fat.

tetsushin_agito May 4 2006, 07:05:07 UTC

That and I am really dark.

yeah, so now that i'm here, i guess i should say something. my main problem with your end of this flame war thing happening here is this: the brand of intellectualism you're trying to display basically amounts to just being a pedantic asshole. here, i'll give you and example. it's very straightforward, i hope you can follow. this is you ( ... )
