I got my first flame.

I don't do this blogging thing very much, but I feel the need to point out that I indeed got my first flame. Flaming is when someone leaves a comment on your blog in a negative fashion. They could have a relevant point, they could just be an asshole. Either way. This person actually made some good points, but I could really care less. I'm writing on a free blog, not for fucking CNN. Or any sort of reputable news source for that matter. You can read it in the comments section in the post below. I called out a colleague of hers or something and she just went ape shit on me. I also made several references about him looking like a pedophile. Was that nice of me? Not really. But it's a blog. Not the Wall Street Journal. Pretty cool how journalists spend their time nowadays. YAY FLAME WARS.

Anyway, I got a kick out of it, and actually commented back. I doubt she'll reply as I think she thought this blog was read by more than 4 people. Which it's not. She was probably the 5th person to ever see this. Maybe the 6th if I'm getting REALLY popular. It still boggles my mind how she ever came across this. Possibly because I originally titled it "Michael Rosenberg is a piece of shit". I guess they have a lot of pride over there and like to google their own names. I'm thinking about this way too much. The point of this post is for me to give a very sound and well thought out reply:

    Just to clarify a few things since it’s the end of the work week and I need to kill 10 minutes:
    1. I was contemplating commenting back on the lebron issue, but I don’t feel like it. I can argue all night on your ‘points’ but I have a feeling you’re a stubborn SOB and it won’t make a difference
    2. I am not a ‘nosy’ reporter  far from it…I work in the medical field…not in sales if that is what you are thinking. Oh, and I’m the same age as Lebron … which I’m sure you know… after all, it’s you who keeps using it as an argument point in your rants.
    3. Lastly, and probably what you are wondering most  I randomly came across your blog because I know one of your four loyal fans, not because I have any real connection to Rosenberg. Truth be told, I didn’t even read the article, nor do I plan to. I got the jist of it just from reading your book report on it. Anyway, I read your blog, thought you were completely wrong, and took it upon myself to tell you…end of story.

    Yours truly, the psychotic whore

    PS. Feel Me Flow was one of my favorite songs in the late 90s.

    Then quick question... Why did you say "we" when referring to the article? "We" happens to be an inclusive article, which would have meant you were included in the field (whether it be FoxSports.com, Rosenberg, Detroit Free Press, or journalism in general). According to you, that isn't the case. I'm going to assume it was an error which threw me off a bit as to who you are.

    That also being said, I'm surprised I don't know you, as the only people read this (all 4 of them) are people that I know rather well.

    I'm going to stop the Lebron discussion as well, as it's evident I feel one way, you feel another. I also happen to be the same age as Lebron. But you can argue all you want, it doesn't phase me as I could care less about the NBA. Just wanted to defend Lebron in this instance. Baseball is my thing.

    I'm glad you enjoy Feel Me Flow. It is, in my humble opinion, NBN's best song. As you can tell, I stopped updating this thing seriously, as I'm too tired at work to bother to include a song. Or anything else.

    Regards,
    Stubborn Son of a Bitch
