You have no idea the joy I get when I recieve a notification to my inbox saying that someone has posted a comment to my blog. It means that they've read something of mine and liked/disliked it enough to take the time to respond to it. Be it a compliment or a complaint, it's welcomed.
Except for this guy.
This guy commented on a post from 2005, and while I was initally excited that someone was perusing the archives, (There's gold in them there hills, people.) the comment itself leaves a lot to be desired.
- It's in Russian. Tip to the commenter: When leaving comments on an blog that's written in English, it's best to go with that language. Do I go to Arabic blogs and leave comments in Danish? Hell no - because I can't read Arabic and I eat Danish, I don't speak it.
- After running it through Google Translate, I find out the commenter's name is "Removal of Iron Magnetic Separator". His parents must have fucking hated him. Although the abbreviated "RIMS" makes him sound like a cool secondary character in The Fast & The Furious.
- His comment is "Supplies of iron, magnetic separators and metal detectors for the industry." WTF? What kinda comment is that? You are adding nothing to the conversation, sir - you remind me of that kid in Elementary school who would interupt our G.I.Joe conversations with repeated shouts of "Pudding!".
- He somehow bypassed the incredible capatcha security Blogger has on the comments section, meaning he's either smarter than I think, or someone's trained a monkey really well.
- I will give him credit - commenting on the post about anonymity on the Internet is veeerrry subtle.
So thanks for checking out the blog, RIMS - but no thanks. I'm not in need of a magnetic separator, (my personality is magnetic enough) and I get all my iron from Broccoli. (Veggies - Yay!)
I hope my calling to task of this wayward feedback doesn't discourage others from commenting - I do seriously have a mini-nerdgasm when that notification pops up - and I don't want that to stop.
Later.
You should repost "Wrong place in the Queue"; you got a shit-ton of comments out of that.. I try to only comment on one out of five, not sure if that is a good or bad thing. I did a WP blog for like a year and besides friends and family, all I got was spam comment BS, so I just took them all seriouse and wrote like a full response to each, kinda took it back that way.
ReplyDeleteI just got another comment from a different Russian: голые толстые.
ReplyDeleteAfter running it through Google Translate, it means "Naked Fat"
Who are these people?
You may be on to some previously "not taken seriously" market of readers/observers. I have a challenge for you. Do a post entirely in rushin, lol. Google is gonna start world war three if they don't get the kinks out of Google translate.
ReplyDeleteDlae,
ReplyDeleteFor the past 2 months I've been following your blog. I read your daily updates and I find them interesting. Funny :)
I leave this genuine comment after reading your post that says it gives you joy to see a comment notification.
Have a nice day :)
