Comments Welcome?
August 18, 2008
Well, I knew when I put a comments section on here I might be asking for trouble. Loyal readers, you don’t have to make me aware of the rude and sometimes offensive comments. It’s not that I am a masochist, but I do believe people have a right to their opinions and…
OK, that’s a lie, you can have an opinion, but I may not want to hear it….I keep them up there (for a bit) so people can see the morons and bigots in their finest hour.
First, let’s address the “F**K YOU HOMO” comment by ‘KOBEISTHEGOAT’ first.
Really, expletive homo is the best you have? Really? What I love is the latent homosexuality of it and frankly, no, I don’t think so. It is so sad that I am still facing 8th grade insults; 37 years old and still somehow still in the playground - grow up and until you’d say it to my face, shut up. Why do straight men with men-crushes get so angry? Must be the lack of release….
The next is a gem, I felt compelled to cut and paste the whole thing - I have not reformatted it or anything, it was just precious without!
Pround American has commented:
“JOhn, you were a avg joe as a NBA player... and you are a above avg hack. You can't be subjective to save your life, you feel that everyone that reads your trash has to approve of your "lifestyle" that you choose. Dude, stop reporting that you are a homo to sell your book... no one cares.”
Well, ‘Pround’ American, yes, I was an average NBA player...how was your career in the NBA? Oh, right….
On the writing front, well, I take offence, I am actually a fairly evocative writer (my sister told me so) but at least you recognise I am a better writer than NBA player. I can be objective, but I am fairly sure that the point of a blog is to be subjective, I would check on that and get back to you, but you too failed to leave your email address. I don’t want to get you down but your insults lack insight and I am only commenting on your comment because your spelling, grammar and factual accuracy are poor; it is obvious someone needs to address them for you. I do have a strange and wonderful ‘lifestyle,’ it involves business class flights and a large Audi, but I am surprised you are upset - you must be a Cadillac fan. Lastly, don’t call me ‘dude,’ it seems a little familiar, instead, just call me ‘JOhn.’ Apparently.
Oh, I could go on, but I truly wanted to thank those who are here to read and hear about human rights in China and my adventures in and around Beijing and the Olympic village. I especially don’t want people to get bent out of shape about any insulting comments. If anything gets out of hand, feel free to let me know and I will address it.
Thanks again to you all...enjoy….
I have done another two bad vlogs that you can enjoy next...
