Well wooey!

Remember I told you that I submitted my site to italk2much.com for review? I told you I’d tell you what they said. Well today I got the review.

Here’s what they said about me:

I’m liking this blog title. Not sure why, I just do. But anyway, there’s a whole lotta purple here, luckily not not in the content area. Her sidebar is clean and organized. It’s kinda long, but I don’t mind length as much so long as it’s tidy. Actually this whole blog is very clean and organized. I’m a bit on the fence about all that purple, but on the whole I like this template. Hell I’m just thrilled it isn’t another freaking pink blog!

The posts aren’t bad. Very conversational, though maybe not the conversations I’d have. Hmm. I could read this blog, if my regulars ran out of material.

Here are my smacks.

So I’m pretty damned happy about it. Lord knows I didn’t know what to expect since I don’t mind my blog at all, but that doesn’t mean that other people won’t.

She had an issue with the purple, but after having my site done in the purple for all these years, I’ve come to think of it as “me”, so I probably won’t change that any time in the near future.

I’ll just sit here and be happy about the whole review. Go over there and read some of the reviews. After the reaming that some get, you’ll be thinking I’m a goddess now.

EDIT: They revised their smacks to this rating. I meant to write last night but I was too busy answering back on ridiculous comments that I then had to race off to see my favourite, American Idol. Ok, it’s not my favourite, but it’s one of the few TV shows that we’ll watch. So here was the updated review:

Edit: I originally thought this was a somewhat pleasant blog (if you could get used to all the purple). I felt generous that day and gave it 3 smacks. Subsequently this person proved to be a complete OCD ass. Insulting other commenters despite having gotten a fairly positive review is very juvenile, and therefore undeserving of any smacks. A Rotting Fish Award is in order here. Have a nice day.

Well, I guess they showed me, didn’t they? You see that reviewing a site has a lot to do with reviewing. Instead my “review” (and I use the term loosely) was changed because they didn’t like my comments to one of the groupies who hangs out there… madbull.

The background on my comments had to do with (maybe) 6 months ago when I visited this madbull guy’s site, called “waisted something” ← yes, spelled “waisted”. I made some comment about spelling at his site; I think I actually told him how to spell some word, and from there on he was all full of comments about how he spoke 4 languages, yada yada, to which I responded with something about whether he spoke all those languages with the same limited ability as his English.

Anyway, he commented on my review at the talk2much place and I responded to him based on earlier comments I’d made at his site.

The whole commenting thing over there turned into a ridiculous name calling exercise by supposed adults, who I guess couldn’t come up with anything intelligent to say, so they thought that “you’re a douche” seemed pretty snappy.

If you’re interested in reading all that crap, it’s below.

It started with madbull saying this (since I was #2 of the sites they reviewed)

“#2 Jafer. Nah thanks. Grammar dick commenter”, and I commented back to him, saying “And madbull, there, there, now, now – stop being so mad – your grammar really sucked when I was at your site; perhaps it’s gotten better over time (don’t know since I haven’t been there since), I’m “waistingâ€? away over here in purpleland”.

Well, after that, weren’t there a whole bunch more comments made to me. Totally nonsensical and juvenile comments. I was called a douche, a douche cocktail with a pussy chaser, tool (remember when you were 10?), a loser/looser, a nerd, and told to suck the guy’s dick.

Here we go:

Apparently his spelling is still bad too. He probably doesn’t realize that the dick I’m sucking belongs to an educated, literate man.Jafer, my grammar still sucks and I really donn’t need you to tell me that. Actually you even commented that twice (with some weeks inbetween), the second time, when I replied you that English is only my 4th language you answered ‘so you know a little of everything but nothing well’.

Suck my dick nerd. Oh no, wait. You’ld love to, you with your paypal tip jar on your blog. Or did you remove the pity box ? Bye. comment by madbull

This is where you’re supposed to think that speaking 5 languages means that you’re entitled to be bad at it.It just isn’t nice to pick on the grammar of someone who speaks, what is it Madbull, five languages? And English wasn’t the first one. So lay off, it’s annoying. comment by Merciless Minx

Just a thought, douche . Hey Jafer. Given that you share your name with a cartoon character, I’d be careful who you sling mud at around here.
Sharing a name with a cartoon character means that you don’t have the right to say anything, because you’re a douche
Got it, asshole. Back the fuck up. Treat Madbull with some respect. He’s fourteen times the man you are. comment by Bitch, Esq.

Bartenders rock. And bartenders who speak four languages are just plain sexy. comment by Merciless Minx

And we have another winner!

Correcting someone’s spelling is classed as an insult – but not the ‘douche’, ‘asshole’ or ‘idiot boy’ commentsWhiny asshole combined with cheap insults. Grammar me to death, idiot boy. English is my ONLY fucking language. comment by Bitter Bitch

oh and people who play the grammar, spelling, punctuation game, do so only because they have a raging desire to try to make themselves look superior.

Didn’t we have one of those the other day with a ‘bog?’

I don’t have a desire to make myself ‘look’ superior, my literacy proved that for meAsswad.

Kiss my bad grammar, rotten punctuation, typo ass.

Idiot on a stick. How appropriate. comment by Bitter Bitch

Nobody was “picking on� madbull, I was talking about my comments months ago when I was at his site. I don’t need to pick on anyone, and since no one knows how many languages I speak, whether he speaks 4 or 80 doesn’t matter.

I don’t happen to be a douche, an asshole, or a nerd, and madbull I wouldn’t suck your dick even if I could find it.

And the tip jar that was on my site before I changed providers may well go back up there for anyone who wants to buy my photos, but perhaps I’ll just put up a shopping cart when I get everything working again.

He said he got lots of tips as a bartender in all countries he was in – that must mean that his blog is good Oh, and I also remember tipping bartenders in whatever country I was in. It was for their good service, not for their linguistic abilities.

And since I don’t watch cartoons, I wouldn’t know who the cartoon character is with the same name. But frankly, who gives a fuck? People get respect because they deserve it, not because others demand that you respect them. comment by jafer

did i mention i’m in a foul mood and idiot with a stick up his ass pissed me right the fuck off.

Oh, she’s in a foul mood, and pissed off. Oh my!Fucking take an “English is not the primary languageâ€? person to task.

Come live where I do. Puerto Rican Spanish speaking people EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE. oh and Portugese, African…shall I continue?

When was the last time you walked up to a person on the street and told them they aren’t speaking English correctly? Cuz hunney, I’d be the one you’d have to talk to first.

Did I mention i’m pissed?

Cheap shot asshole. comment by Bitter Bitch

which is precisely why you’ll get no respect from me you sanctimonious windbag prick. comment by Bitter Bitch

True Jafer,

I respect people who respect that grammar isn’t everything. Even more people who have a brain. Instead of commenting and trying to get rid of your personal frustations at my blog you could have read my about section and immediately have noticed that I am a ‘foreigner’.

I didn’t read his entire blog to find out that he’s a foreigner, therefore my brain must be inactiveBut that implies an ‘active brain’. A thing I respect a lot. Sadly you only seem to have an ‘I always need to justify myself’ attitude.

As for the tip jar, wasn’t there a small tip jar footer about ‘being unemployed’ ?!?! I am pretty sure, because that was what turned me off immediately at your site. Not really something about art work. Loser or was it looser? comment by ©madbull, Esq.

Madbull, I think either would apply here.

And Jafer, you are correct I’m afraid I made a mistake, you’re not a douche,
See? Pretty snappy comeback here
You are a douchebag cocktail, with a pussy chaser. Tool. comment by Bitch, Esq.

Jafer,

You’re fighting a losing battle.

Unlike BB, I have no problems with taking people who should know better to task over their linquistic shortcomings.

Then this guy tries to seem as if he knows English by telling me I need more commas, as if you simply put commas into a sentence because it’s long, never mind knowing where they fitTime to give up gracefully, or we’ll have a discussion over your boneheaded vocabulary.

(Here’s a preview:
This : , is called a comma. It’s used to insert pauses into sentences so they flow more naturally. I suggest you acquaint yourself with them, as they are extremely important if you want your self-important rantings to be easily comprehensible.) comment by Charred

Madbull, I think you assume that people visiting your site are going to read the entire thing, even if they don’t like it. I didn’t, but it doesn’t change my opinion about taking the time to correct typos and spelling mistakes and whatever.

And if you remember the ‘tip jar’ at my site perhaps you would remember what it said about taking money from anybody for no good reason. It’s fairly obvious that some jokes are a little above some people, I certainly don’t have to justify anything to you or anyone else.
Apparently missed out on the part where I said “I won’t buy a matching purse and shoes with the donation”
Just like I don’t have to call anyone “loose� or douche, or asshole or loser, because they didn’t like my opinion on their site. I think my 12-year-old has to deal with that mentality, I certainly didn’t expect to see it with adults. comment by jafer

Apparently no one ever told you the difference between an opinion and an insult. Someone obviously didn’t know the difference between spelling a word for someone and insultingWhy don’t you head on over to http://www.m-w.com/ and look them up. comment by Bitter Bitch

Jafer,

attitude isn’t going to help you. Just like you don’t stay at anyones site if you see something you don’t like, but still don’t want to miss the opportunity to spit, I didn’t feel like checking your ‘humour’. But I felt a lot ‘more above’ you, just by clicking the ‘x’.

Funnily, now you get a reflexion on your behaviour you have to act, backed in a corner and Aww, he doesn’t like my hand-drawn images. And the date boxes are stupid!trying to find some way out. Give up.

I am better than you. I even didn’t bother to comment your eye blinding and desperate purple. Not to forget the idiotic image, which your 12 year old son could definitely have drawn better, nor the stupid date boxes. Above all you have roll-over problems with certain images in your sidebar. As for the content, even worse than mine. Almost malaysian compliant. Just not that good yet.

Now if you would put your tip jar back, I might even donate something in the hope that you would finally get a designer. Therapy is unaffordable, sadly but not my problem either. comment by madbull

Well, madbull, it’s obvious that quite a few people feel a lot more ‘above me’ but that doesn’t make it factual.

And in my final post, because I have other things to do than sit here checking comments all night, I’ll just have to wonder what “desperate� purple means and inform you that I have no roll-overs in my sidebar, which might explain why they aren’t working.

I wouldn’t discuss content if I were you, since it’s so subjective, and I certainly wouldn’t want you to waste any of your hard-earned minimum wage or tips on any design but your own.

Tart apples muchCheers. I have a boring TV show to watch – not quite so boring now, though. comment by jafer

STFU already. Sour grapes much? comment by Bitter Bitch

I guess they ran out of namesjafer,

/spit.

Wow. Some people really know how to ruin a decent three smacks.
Duh. comment by kissmequikly

Can we get a lesson in diagramming sentences? I always liked that.

Oh, Jafar – in the Aladdin movie?Is Jafar a dude or a chick? comment by Kentucky Girl

I have adjusted the “Idiot on a Stick� review accordingly. Apparently 3 smacks Dammit all, no more good reviewwas three too many. comment by Merciless Minx
