IT2M: when gobshites roamed the Earth
Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007I was over at Kav’s fine blog where he was talking about a blog-review site called italk2much.
Fuck it, I said to myself, I’ll put Bock under the microscope and take the pain if they think it’s shit. I might get some useful feedback. Turns out, however, that they’re a bunch of wankers. My computer was acting up and I had to resubmit my details a few times. Here’s the self-important email I got from them. Can you believe the needy, puffed-up idiot who would write something like this?
Dear whoever you are,
If would please explain to me why on God’s green earth you felt the need to submit your blog FIVE times (in 3 minutes no less) for review?
Seriously, we’re not exactly stupid over here and we could have figured out that you really want a review in just one email but no, you continue to submit over and over and over.
Please explain or all of them will be removed as well as your membership to IT2M.

I’m shaking with fear.
What kind of sad child-man would write something like that? It has to be either Beavis or Butthead.
Stumble it!

Man alive, I was about to reply to this an hour ago, and in between I’ve had a child up puking all over the shop. Christ on a snooker table, the smell was unreal.
Anyway, believe it or not, that was a female that replied to you. MC = Miss Chatty. They tend to be extremely snarky with absolutely everything and everyone, most of the time without reason. That’s why I was saying there’s little point arguing with them - snaring people into an argument is their modus operandi, their raison d’être, their…you get it.

And here was I thinking you were from Limerick:

I guess they are not wrong.The mighty have idea on avoiding people who are spamming and 3 posts in a minute can be termed as spamming

My objection is to their self-important tone. This is the only little thing in their lives.
Anyway, the real problem seems to be caused by their crappy interface.

I wouldn’t bother, Bock. They really are a bunch of humourless cunts.
You, on the other hand? You are LeCaninucusBollocks.

Thanks. Beats being called the Cat’s Cunt.

I think you should continue with the snarky criticism of their blog. I would have a hard time accepting a dope slap from a cartoonish avatar.

I emailed you because we do deal with wankers on a daily fucking basis. Mighty Dykerson has submitted his blog over 150 times in 5 months. When someone uses our email form 5 times in 3 minutes yeah it does feel like it’s another fucktard just having a good time.
I’m sorry if you were offended by the email. Next time I’ll throw some rainbows and flowers on it and make sure you get that warm fuzzy feeling. Thnx.
(I really thought twice about that email. I figured they knew I’d email back and then use it in some silly little post. Then I said.. nah no one is that much of an attention whore. Go figure :) )

D’you know what? Fuck off, you bad-mannered prick.
Go and learn how to talk to people.

Yet another douchebag who didn’t read the TOS they agreed to when they submitted their blog (five times).
I’ll quote your response to me:
“Don’t ever write to me like that again.”
K mom I won’t!

Perhaps they just thought you were a complete idiot?

It’s “ill-mannered prick,” you mouth-breathing knuckle-dragger.

You are my hero - and really, ill or bad mannered apply…it’s a personal choice.
Kick arse and take names!
