Man… if I had one of those “I’m feeling…” buttons on my site, it would probably say “cheap & used” right now.<\/p>\n

<~~~ Cool! Thanks DIZ! <\/p>\n

How are you supposed to feel when you make amends with someone, you write nice stuff about them, they write nice stuff about you (well, more like USE YOU as a cheap tool to keep people from dropping out their project like flies in a mass exodus…) have these hundreds of people come here overnight to read my post… <\/p>\n

….and then they read the next one, which looks like a “pig party”, and makes them look like a REAL asshole?<\/p>\n

\"EricWould YOU remove all that nice stuff that you wrote about ME, and declare it a “useless rant”?????<\/p>\n

*sigh* THE TRUTH:<\/b> It’s not for everyone, y’know. <\/p>\n

Yes… ignore me now. I’ll go away.
\n*SNORT* Oh Yeah, like *THAT’S* ever worked before!
\n
\nIt was kind of a fun party last night. Robyn<\/a> and Solonor<\/a> (starting trouble, as usual), dropped by, snor<\/strike>drank up all my coke, blasphemed the Yankees… before taking off on trips (supposedly separate trips…. yeah. uh huh.) and worse yet, dragged the Stupid Evil Bastard<\/a> along.<\/p>\n

… then the onslaught of the dreaded COMEDY TROLLS…
\nIt could take months to get the stains out of these rugs!<\/p>\n

I’ve really gotta find me some new friends. The web went to hell since Maria<\/a> left.
\n\/\/** UPDATE:<\/b> Maria is back with a vengeance!!!! Go give her love… **\/\/<\/p>\n

Scooter’s got a troll in his comments<\/a>…. BEAT THE PISS OUT OF HIM!!!
\n(uhm… The troll. I meant the troll, ok?)<\/p>\n

More later…
\n\/\/**It’s Later:<\/b> Don’t anybody freak out of my link list I put back up. I lost my copy of my last set of links (because I’m retarded), so this is from my CD backup from April (do you have any idea what a bitch it has been to surf sites in the last two days???). <\/p>\n

I have no intention of delinking anyone. Not even the two morons who raised a big fuss, even posted a big “Yeah my being delinked hurts, but I’m selfish, I don’t care about other people, and I can’t see the big picture… so I’m still playing” protest post, to rile up so many people to call this nameless bully (moi) all sorts of names…
\nAND (here’s the kicker) THEY’RE NOT EVEN LINKED TO ME TO BEGIN WITH! LOL!!!<\/p>\n

Just for the record:<\/b> Despite what goes on in his delusional, arrogant little head… I wish to remind all the panicked citizens of Cybertown that Sayed Razavi does NOT own the web…<\/p>\n

Dave Winer<\/a> and Jeffrey Zeldman<\/a> do.
\nSo relax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
