From a friend on people who start those anonymous hate sites

whoever they are, all of those anonymous cowardly snarky tumblrs need to die. who do they think they are? like, microgawkers? nanogawkers snarking on the nanofamous. disgusting. having them follow me reminds me of having one little piece of poo that you JUST CANT SHIT OUT! and then you just get up, because you can’t sit on the john ALL DAY, but you KNOW that that little fucking piece is still in there. you could probably relay that metaphor much more eloquently than i because you have a way with potty talk that i only wish i could obtain.  anyhow, KISSES!!!

I’m writing a piece on how Tumblr is a successor to 4chan. Silly me, I should have predicted it’d spawn trolls too. At least these anonyTumblr jokers don’t know shit about hacking.

oh god, are people really complaining about trainwrecks? you know that it actually—gasp!—existed way, way before tumblr did, right? yes, that’s right, it’s old, at least in internet time. the wayback machine is not working for me right now, but go there and search on trainwrecks.net. this is all part of a grand internet tradition among people who were doing what you call “blogging” back when the preferred nomenclature involved the word “diary.” (the embarrassing oversharing was just as embarrassing back then, too.)

the past few days have made me wonder if people on tumblr are the most thin-skinned online diarists i’ve ever seen. and i’ve been on diaryland. and seen webrings. god, i’ve had a livejournal for like NINE YEARS. ffs, own what you write and know that putting yourself “out there” may result in you having to defend your words and actions in a manner that goes beyond mau-mauing about “haters.” who knows, you may learn somehing!
