Ice cream for freaks... by him... by Tris
You know you've made it as a blogger, when 6 posts into your new blog you start receiving hate comments. Better than that anonymous hate comments on an uncontroversial post, by your girlfriend.
Unfortunately, I keep a tidy ship so the offending comment has been deleted, but it's ok, I can remember it...
Whomever: This blog is so lame, I can't wait till you two split up. That will be funny
Fair enough, I can accept feedback - I know the blog template has taken me a while to sort out, I even rolled out the blog before it was complete - but hey, I'm in IT and that is just what we do.
You can spend years getting everything just right in a product (in this case a blog), but by the time it is ready to release the market has moved on. In IT we phase in products to fit in with market conditions, we know they contain bugs but we also know the basic functionality (people can see what I've written) is there and that is what matters. The business can then start selling the product and we make fixes later on.
Anyway, I'm sure she wasn't too concerned about the template...
Yes she, ahhhh, the beauty about comment tracking is that it records IP addresses and I'm sure I recognise this particular commenter from my last blog. Yes, the lady who blogs about her dog, bless her.
I could be wrong, hence the lack of link, but hey.
So thank you, I have been re-affirmed as a blogger. I too receive hate comments. And as for the splitting up part, well I doubt it would be that funny, we are unlikely to blog in detail, if at all, about it, plus I can finally go back to the strip club circuit and make some real dough... How is that breakfast sitting?
Comments
Whoever it was is a tosser. You two are fabulous and they are sitting at home with their dog and no friends...a sad sad life indeed.
Mwah to you both!

It was most exciting! Never in my nearly a year of blogging have I had a nasty comment so Tilesey must be a bad influence!
Sadly there are very lame people out there who instead of buggering off from a blog that isn't to their taste they decided to leave a cowardly comment. I mean if you're going to go to the effort of being a shit head then at least be brave and leave your homepage so we can see what an amazing blogger you are. Obviously if you're making shitty comments on someone elses blog it must mean that you're blog is so wonderful that others quiver in comparison!
That's harsh. Trolling is pathetic. Rise above it!
Posted by: Ron at April 26, 2005 09:36 AMLike you say, Celeste, why would they spend their time both reading and commenting on blogs they don't like?
Some people are just odd...
Down Rover! Sit Down! Good boy...
Sorry? Did I miss something?
Posted by: Els at April 26, 2005 10:17 AMHee hee! Els it was you all along. I should've known from the beatings I took from Derek (that's his new name right?) on Saturday.
Posted by: Celeste at April 26, 2005 10:33 AMI despise rude nasty blog trollers!! They need to GET A FREAKIN LIFE.

Posted by: silk at April 26, 2005 04:27 PMoh phoo, i hate blind items--can i have another clue??
Posted by: em at April 26, 2005 07:25 PMLooks like the place is warming up nicely. Screw the freakish commentor..... you can blacklist her on MT now!!!!!
So when's the party???
Posted by: sadie at April 27, 2005 05:38 AM*looks through all her posts to see if she's ever posted about her dog*
*realises that she's only just found this site and therefore it can't have been her*
*gets confused*
*stops using the * things*
Right. You know it's time to stop trying to comment when you can't think of anything to say. Although I've just thought of it. Don't you dare let anyone be mean and horrible to you two. Although I am slightly shocked by the nakedness (I'm sure a prude) I am sure it is probably just jealousy that my particular "something for the weekend" can't do anything at the moment (see blog for details - woohoo plug!)
That made no sense. Might post it anyway. Wouldn't want the people of the world to think I was normal, would I?
Posted by: nutty at April 27, 2005 02:31 PMhee hee. You would have been horrified if I hadn't have photoshopped a bit more of his nakedness!
Posted by: Celeste at April 27, 2005 04:18 PMNow i've put one or two posts about my dog, but he cant really be called a dog. More of a small rodent. So i'm glad i'm off the hook. Not that i was ever on it, as i didnt do it.. er.. oh fuck it. You know what i mean.
I am trying to think of a doggy poster now though. Can't think of a single one!
I think our blogging circles are a little different these days!
*pouts*
