The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Oh, gosh, well said, m'am.

Hiya Samantha.

I'm not sure but I get referrals from your site quite a bit and just happened to check in this morning.

I routinely post the e-mails and extended comments of the people that send me hate mail. I don't get why people who tell me that my posts don't affect them still feel the need to post long tambling e-mails about how I affected them.

Perhaps I'm part of the problem, but whatever.

I don't have any sort of journalistic integrity in my blog whatsoever... It's just down 'n' dirty and out of control (much like me)! I would welcome some hate mail though, god knows I have enough posts to warrant some. It'd be fun!

So far the only person who's tried to mess with me is Cricket, the annoying talking doll from the 80's... I put her in her place pretty quickly and she waved the White flag! It was a fun battle!

Haven't attracted the half - wits who need to prove they are right and I'm ont. Count myself lucky. Trying to engage em in some sort of debate is an exercise in futility and deleting the comments may only infuriate the half - wits.

I just laugh my arse off when I get a troll on my site that will insult my education level, my intelligence, and my motives for saying what I say. I always found it humorous that someone that suppoedly thinks I'm "stupid and uneducated" would feel compelled to take time out of their day to argue with a retard like myself. After tearing them a new one, I point this out and they never come back to my blog.

Penda,

You are on the blogroll so do expect to see some referals from time to time :)

Nah, you aren't part of the problem. What Sam is refering to is the idiot whom just get no end to pleasure from trolling at the details of an article while ignoring the bigger message - as if she should actually care or be expected to get every detail right all of the time. I'm not talking about "fun" nit-picking, but those whom actually take this stuff all to seriously and are trying to annoy.

Sam gets a kick out of those, like you, whom nail these idiots for what they are...

Yep - I'm in the middle of a battle right now. It's fun, as I get to take out all of my pent up aggression on idiots instead of, you know, getting fired.

Thanks for the link. I'll return the favor, since I like it here.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get blacklisted so I can join in all the fun! I even posted that amusing quiz/map that declared I am a flaming LIBERAL. Sigh. Keep up the good work! 8)

You got it. I wrote a blog piece on that photo of Pres. Bush saying he needed a toilet break. And some busybody criticized me for not reporting on all the other stuff the U.N. did that day. Huh? I'm not a reporter, I told him. It's not my job to write about anything except whatever the hell I want.

You get email from your readers? How in the world do you do that?

I've been blogging for two years. I've managed to crawl my way to Marauding Marsupial on the TTLB, and I almost NEVER get email, or even comments.....

What is your secret? You MUST tell me!

PUHLEASSSSSSEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

LOL

:-)

The secret is to not care and post stories about people who die in confoundingly stupid ways. I posted a story about a guy to fired into a crowd of people, supposedly to break up a fight, and was rhen shot by cops because he refused to put his gun down. He was a former lottery winner, and fingured being rich would make him bulletproof. I got a few hate-mails about that.

Then there was the woman who's last words were "Look what I can still do" as she did a handstand off her second floor hotel balcomy. A few mails from that too.

You have to really piss people off to get some good mail. I seem to do that pretty well.

Hmm... I write some of my posts in a serious vein and with those it's useful to get corrections if I'm wrong on facts or missing relevant information. I like for blogging to be something of a conversation, and some of the conversations are not just fun but also good for changing my mind.

Anythign can be a topic of conversation as long as both parties are willing to convers about it, instead of calling the blogger immature, disgusting, and sick, which is usually the case on my Blog.

Well said.

Does this mean I cannot say anything crude and irresponsible about the nickel post?

Before I was married my last name was Lawrence and when you initialized my first and middle name I became D.J. Lawrence- so close yet so far- LMAO You know me Sam, I write about whatever blows my dress up ;)

You're wrong. Blogging is ONLY for educated journalists. Close this puppy down now!
LOL just kidding.

Ulcers are caused by bacteria, not stress. =)

P. S. Who doesn't love hatemail?
P. P. S. Thanks for the "random" link.

trolling at the details of an article while ignoring the bigger message

Augh I hate that, those smug people always coming up with red herrings. I've noticed a lot of times this is what the more "polite" people who think they're better/smarter than me like to do. I don't argue with anyone anymore over the internet.

I don't get hatemail. I don't know whether to be happy or jealous.
