Nuff said. Fair play to the “Chewing Gum 1″ for nearly managing a full apology.
September 24th, 2007
like a scolded child. idiot. leave him go.
September 24th, 2007
S’a start.
September 24th, 2007
Well if you really pissed off his employers then I’d say you’re job is done here.
I’m actually delighted to see that he did say sorry.
September 24th, 2007
Tis half-arsed, Bock m’lad. Half-arsed n’ juvenile, says I.
September 24th, 2007
Godalmighty Bock, aren’t you the one. A dog with a bone indeed. But you got him, and his apology ain’t too bad.
BTW, have you ever left an anonymous comment anywhere? I have. :)
Mind you, it didn’t contain a death threat. And I don’t send anonymous emails.
September 24th, 2007
I just read through all the posts, Bock. What a fucking loon. I don’t think a half-assed “sorry” mitigates a death threat.
September 24th, 2007
Sorry he was caught.
September 24th, 2007
It was hardly a serious threat though, was it?
“If I had a gun I’d shoot you” is off the cuff.
If he’d said “I’m going to find out who you are and kill you to death”, then that would have been more serious.

How about if a chewing gum factory said it?
September 24th, 2007
folks need to learn that they can’t get away with threats…of any sort, anywhere…jaysus, when did people stop thinking? is civility totally gone from our society?
i hope my meds never run out…

How about if a chewing gum factory said it?
Are they particularly heavily armed?

Yes. And some of them are fucking menthol!
September 24th, 2007
Fair play to you, Bock!
Good lad, Alan.
September 24th, 2007
Strikes me as a lot of hubba-bubba over nothing.
September 24th, 2007
Well, Alan certainly found himself in a sticky situation.

“How about if a chewing gum factory said it?”
I’d notify Willy Wonka.

Hi Bock,
Met ya for a little when Devin was in town. This is too funny. I had a feeling you’d hear from the freak again. I think he should stick to the basic requirements of his job. ‘Doin his employers dirty work’. ha!
By the way I’m a nervous flyer, I heard all those airplane noises that you were making with Cynthia that you look out for. :) I’ll never fly the same again! lol I’ll need some valume aswell as alcoholic I’m thinkin :)

Nora: Maybe we should get him on the job anyway, just in case.
Audrey: Hey there. How’s it goin’?
Problem is, we don’t know the basic requirements of his job. I mean, suppose [unnamed bubblegum company] actually told this fool to spam anybody who criticises them. Wouldn’t that be different to the fool doing it on a frolic of his own, as Lord Denning once famously described it?
Or, suppose the fool turns out not to be a fool at all. Wouldn’t that be even more interesting?

Bock, appreciate that it can’t be nice to hear that someone wants to cyber kill you, but feel that it is really stretching it to imagine that Bazooka Joe has someone in full time employ whose job it is to jump on bloggers who post unsavoury comments about their product and threaten to kill them. Really, come on. We all LOVE jumping around like demented children in popular blogs calling people “c*nts” and applauding those who swallow tampons. Tracking someone down and threatening him with an outing seems like a bridge too far, I believe (in anywayS!)
September 24th, 2007
A fella who sends his own email address and his employer’s IP doesn’t take much tracking down.
September 24th, 2007
Okay, so it seems like even more of a reason to realise that he is a bit of an eejit and not take his comments too seriously. Do you really think that if a company invested in this kind of behaviour that they wouldn’t have employed someone who didn’t post his own email and company IP?
September 24th, 2007
Glad you got your apology. Funniest set of comments I have read in ages! Alan must be feeling like a right eejit now.
September 25th, 2007
Celia: Is Alan waiting for you in a car around the corner with a bag of money?
September 25th, 2007
Ha ha! Well done!

Thanks Squid. (I think)
September 26th, 2007
Hold on was it you I threatened to shoot a few months ago? ach I can never keep you people straight .
September 26th, 2007
you certainly made him wriggle-y

Hi Bock,
What a great blog.
Alan, Alan, Alan, are you a mere employee whiling away the midnight hours or someone more senior with a chip on the shoulder.
Such questions can keep us all awake at night.
If the former “live long and prosper” and the underwear probably needs changing.
If the latter then as Bradbury said ” something wicked this way comes”. And its Bock.
Talisman.

Knudsen: I think it might have been some other Taig you threatened, but we all look the same.
Galwaywegian: Well, by Gum.
Talisman: I’m sure we’ll find out in due course who Alan really is. This isn’t going away, you know.
