I wanted to thank you for the lovely comment you made on my last post all about how we American women are 'the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children' and are so 'immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste and utterly disgusting'. I thought it was especially sweet considering you don't know me and don't know anything about me or the life I have led except for what you have learned from my blog although I'm pretty sure you have not read my blog. I have to say that I'm at a loss to understand how my post about Stevie Ray Vaughan and the blues musical genre offended you so much.
I was also impressed by how much you stand by your opinions being anonymous and all and making sure that no one can respond to your comment by hiding your profile and not providing an email address. It's quite admirable of you to post such sentiments on a stranger's blog while making sure that you cannot be held accountable and adding the link to your blog was so considerate. It made it easy for me to know where to go the next time I feel like being insulted by men who don't know me.
So, what's the matter Hon, aren't we American women subservient enough for you? Don't care for equality between the sexes? Can't handle a confident capable woman who will stand up for herself? Personally, I think it's an excellent idea for you and your fellows to boycott American women. You'll be doing us all a big favor.
I'm sorry but I won't be helping to spread your message as I have deleted your comment. And if you somehow find your way back here, do us both a favor and move on.
Must have removed the comment...not there anymore. Loved the Stevie Ray Vaughn post, bluezed me through the day in such a happy bluesy way.Stevie is one of my faves to listen to while felting- it's the right energy for pounding wool.
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, I got one of those ridiculous comments, as well. I'm actually relieved to know it wasn't a wacko stalker.
ReplyDeleteExcellent rebuttal.
Well said !!!
ReplyDeleteI get odd comments too. I have my blog on filtered and I just delete them. You do wonder though who the heck are these people.
You tell him, Ellen. I'm glad you deleted the comment, because it would have infuriated me. And Stevie Ray - I saw him a few months before he died - it was practically a religious experience for me and everyone I was with. He just closed his eyes, leaned back and wailed on that guitar. I will never forget the look of pure bliss on his face as he played. Thanks for the links to the videos and for telling mr. anonymous how you really feel.
ReplyDeleteDarn, I wanted to read it!! I can pretty much tell what the content was .......... I love it when someone fels compelled to rant, but do so anonymously. Whether they agree with me or not, like you I own my opinions!
ReplyDeleteThe same guy visited me & left the same comment. He doesn't know me from Eve. I just sent him to "Spam" and don't even want to suggest he go to a foreign country looking for women to harass; they've got enough problems of their own.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you have definitely got spunk & spirit!
Wow - he has me pegged - except for the cheating & divorcing part. Well, and I don't THINK I'm mentally unstable. But other than that it's me! LOL.
ReplyDeleteHe visited Sandra too Ellen - no worries. It is a spammer guy to incite us all, please try not to let him bother you.
ReplyDeleteOur feeling is he has never had a date, never been laid and probably still lives with his mother who represents his awful american woman.
I think the spam is hitting everyone who doesn't use the vert word feature.
He wasn't singling you out.
Last time I checked - you, me and our friends are nothing like what he is screaming about.
Hugs my friend. No worries.
Ellen, Sandra is at Absolutely Narcissim - you can see that he is doing it all over.
ReplyDeleteAgain, just spam, don't worry. [That is why it didn't make sense on your last post.]
Skippy - Oh I know it wasn't about me and I was sure that he was posting it on every female's blog he came across. He's just a pathetic little man who has to do stuff like that to feel good about himself. My response was just a little tongue in cheek, supposed to make all us wimmins laugh. I tracked him down through my stats to Arizona.
ReplyDeleteYou've made it when you have an anonymous hater Ellen, trust me.
ReplyDeleteLizzy - you are quite right. I wouldn't wish any more trouble on those women.
ReplyDeleteMLS - I feel privileged to be in such illustrious ranks. Alas, I was just one small fish in a big net.
i got the same comment ellen and deleted it. i left a comment on another blog that i'll paraphrase here about the very small but memorable group of american women i have know to whom i am indebted for their many extraordinary qualities, most of which you've shared here. i feel sorry for this poor man who in his bitterness has left a shadow across the experience of some people's days. let it go. steven
ReplyDeleteI also received this ridiculous drivel. Thanks for putting it in perspective.
ReplyDeleteBotheration, I never even saw the comment. S'not fair.
ReplyDeletewe should celebrate wacko comments, they add a bit of spice, unless they are nasty, of course. Just insane is fine with me.
Atta Girl, that told the git. Mind you, he probably didn't come back to read the new post.
I resent being dissed like that. I'd steal ALL his money! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou told him!
ReplyDeleteWow! You slapped him naked and hid his clothes.
ReplyDeleteGood for you girl.
The guy is apparently an idiot!
Ahh don't let it bother you, Ellen. It's just one of those auto-generated spammers. They've hit dozens of blogs that I've seen including several guy's blogs. Just another piece of crap floating in the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteI got it, too. I marked him as spam in my gmail. And I reported it to Blogger. I suggest we all do that. Can't hurt, although he'll probably be back in some form or another. Gave my day a lovely start for sure!
ReplyDeleteVery well said.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you - I didn't get a comment from him, just a self- aggrandizing advert for his ridiculous blog post... I think he is to be pitied.
ReplyDeleteHa! Tell him how you really feel! Glad you deleted him...!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
SueAnn
He did the same thing over at my place. You handled it well!
ReplyDeleteYou tell him, Ellen.
ReplyDeleteActually his comment had nothing to do with you or the blog, did it?
This is so weird. As I was here commenting on your post, the "boycott American women" dude was posting his evil comment on my blog. Weird.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope it helps him to spread visciousness.
Reya - no, nothing to do with me or my blog...or you and yours for that matter. I'm surprised he's still at it. so many people have reported it to blogger.
ReplyDeleteThe world is full of assholes. The trick is to ignore them. Just my two cents.
ReplyDeleteNice blog btw.
http://ficklecattle.blogspot.com/
Well, I just wandered over here from Reya's blog, and although I am sorry to see you got such a stupid comment, I am glad to meet you. I'll see you again. Anybody who loves art and Stevie Ray Vaughn has gotta be cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I better go back "home" and see if the same comment has shown up on my blog...
I got one, too. Whatever. I was irritated and then thought, Have at your foreign women, guy. Were you rejected a few times over here in the States? Needed a woman you could control? Whatever.
ReplyDeleteI see that this guy has found his way to you too... my first few days back in blogland and it seems there is a freak on the loose!!
ReplyDeletePS I am back and no longer eternally distracted ;)
He probably doesn't think much of American men either. After all, we LET OUR WOMEN (I've heard it put just that way) do things that piss him off instead of making them run around in black beekeepers suits, peel our grapes for us, and so forth.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is on my blog, but I too get the funny looking screen saying that my comment was too big to post, but there it is when I hit the refresh button. Yours did appear.
