about a month ago i posted this Stating The Stupidly Obvious , and last week while still sick recieved the comment from Brian Bunch...i'm not sure if this is a troll or just some weird ass twist of fate, but as you see i was unable to decide what response was appropriate...so i ask you, my loyal readers to help me resolve this crisis....what is the right response here?????
Posted by Angstman at August 19, 2003 07:28 PM | TrackBackThat entry is over a month old. The odds that anyone worth while will even see it are slim to none. I'd ignore it, like I do with the Frenchmen that still respond to my French threads from back in April. He just wanted to say what he had to say, and he did.
Posted by: Geoffrey at August 19, 2003 09:17 PMI've had a rash of comments recently regarding old posts of mine, too. I don't understand why people do this shit. Lack of any semblence to a real life, I suppose.
Reading the comment you referred to, I'd say it's the lame output of a highly illiterate troll just looking for attention. It was the misspellings and run-on sentence that kinda gave it away...heh. What a jerkoff.
You could ignore it or just do what I do when people post stupid crap on my site-change the comment and just leave their name attached to it.

Posted by: Angstman at August 20, 2003 12:20 AMbwa ha ha ha! I had something like that happen back in january. I posted bitching about a local band that had been nominated for a grammy (Bowling for Soup); dissappointed as there are so much better bands out of dallas.
Two days later thier guitarist got into contact with me to apologize for offending my ears, and agreed that the weren't worthy.
It turned out to be legit, so don't automatically assume that he's a troll. I think your response was fine. Just remember that nothing on the internet is private. Ever.
Posted by: veronica at August 20, 2003 01:21 AMoh i don't assume he is a troll...troll or not though it is just fucking weird...either way he is kinda sorry, if a troll he is a weak one, and if the brother, well i'm guessing there is an animal with his name, cause he seems to have missed the point (pun intended)
