Hall monitor, this post won’t be passive. No one likes you, or your self-promoting posts. I will never visit your stupid site for the simple reason you keep whoring the link around. If you want people to ever take your stupid posts seriously as a part of this community, leave the damn link out. Otherwise, suck my dick.
Um, Anon, you do realize that if hall monitor happens to be gay, “suck my dick” is more of an invitation than an insult, right? Sort of like a girl telling a straight guy “eat my pussy.”
Be a dear and keep your comments passive -aggressivey. Perhaps re-write your comment as such:
o Hall Monitor, a few friendly tips. No one likes you, or you’re self-promoting posts (source: me). I will “never” visit your stupid site for the simple reason you keep whoring the link around. My advice, if you want people to ever take your stupid posts seriously as a part of this community, leave the damn link out. If that doesn’t work, please feel free to suck my dick. Kisses!
I’ve got an idea, how about we give each commenter a grace period of, say, three offenses. That’s 3 times they are allowed to post the link to their site in their own comments. After that, a script kicks in that edits their comments, changing the link to, for example, lemon-something-or-other dot org. Or we can just make them pleasure Anon orally. That works too.
well i dont know about that,
hell i had trouble trying to get SIX people together for a bachelor party that everyone knew about THREE MONTHS IN ADVANCE!
their excuse was..” i didnt hear about it” yet, i had physicaly spoke with them… yeah right.
In the meantime, I must say that a +87 is the highest number of plussed comments I have ever seen (and it could get higher and higher). That says something that 87 people plussed Anon’s attack on Hall Monitor. That says that people are ultra-annoyed and agree. I think if Anon gets an even 100 plusses, Hall Monitor’s Gravatar should be permanently affixed as a unitard.
What’s the big deal about Hall Monitor’s link? This is the web right? It has links and shit, that’s how it works. Don’t click on it if you’re not interested.
It’s official. With more than 100 plussed votes, Hall Monitor is officially a troll, and can don the unitard. Too bad I don’t actually have any way of changing his gravatar to a unitard.
For the record, I never insisted that anyone check out my site. It’s simply a tag-line to my comments. I will always gladly welcome any new visitors (critics included), but never once demanded that anyone click on the link.
I’d also like to note the irony, that on a site which exemplifies passive notes, how overly aggressive everyone becomes with their own comments. Mostly because it’s the internet and everyone remains anonymous, but in other words it turns everyone into tough guys.
The tag line is completely redundant. The URL is linked on your name. It’s pretty basic blog commenting etiquette not to include the URL again in the comment.
Seems to me, hall monitor, that before anyone became a “tough guy”, you were asked quite nicely several threads ago to please not add your link to your comments. You have been advised that the link is attached to your screen name and you should have noticed by now than NO ONE else links their blogs/websites in their comments.
If people start to call you an asshole, maybe it’s because you are bringing it on yourself by behaving like one.
You can change this by:
a) not posting a link to your blog in your comments, or…
Who fucking cares if dude puts his link in his comments? He obviously isn’t going to stop just because someone tells him no one else does it, or that people have asked nicely to stop.
Everyone needs to wipe the sand out of their pussy and move on.
Apparently the 3 people who posted above yourself and Maddy and another 3 from comment 1 above.
It’s just a thing that bothers some people. We like this site and don’t won’t people trolling all over it. Granted, Hall Monitor at least puts forth some effort into commenting, but it is still aggravating. It’s almost an insult. Like we’re not smart enough to know an underlined name means an embedded link, we have to be spoon fed the information. Also, it’s self-aggrandizing.
It bothers me but not enough to join in the asking him to stop…. but one thing I can’t help but comment on…
HM: If you say “I don’t care if people go there” then why would you insist on continuing to include the link when so many people openly object? If you truly aren’t trying to pimp the site, you’d remove it to keep the peace. Such is the nature of a virtual community… people make up arbitrary etiquette and others must comply to keep the peace.
Not that I’m discounting the arbitrary etiquette of most people not including links in their comments, I don’t think comments are the place to advertise anything. It’s about commenting on the post, not promoting your own website.
by the way glastonberry, your passion for defending Hall Monitor is impressive.
Your condescending links, however, are not. Self-promotion is extremely annoying, especially when it’s not necessary. But thanks for calling us losers, and handing out the requisite “chill out” all the same.
Wow… just wow. I have enjoyed this site for its content for some time, but the epic, petty childish whining seen above is truly absurd. A hyperlink in a comment upsets you that much? REALLY?! How do you use the Web without constant emotional breakdown and/or panic attacks? I’m starting to wonder if the high-strung anal children who write the PA content featured here are the same people posting them online, and then commenting on them. A giant passive-aggressive circle jerk.
P.S. “Gigglebrax” is a word you made up, and a really stupid one at that. Google it, you’re the only person who’s ever used it in the history of ever. You know who you are. Incessantly informing people in a smarmy manner that they need to practice it is like me asking you to stop noodlefluffing your punctuation (seriously, stop it).
Tight E Whitey is right about gigglebrax - people aren’t ‘intellectually inferior’ if they don’t speak your made-up language. They may be slightly less familiar with the history of this one website, but I’m not sure that’s inferiority.
Usually love your work, Mishee, but this one’s gone too far. If I knew how to do a frowny emoticon I’d insert one, but I’m intellectually inferior. Gah.
I had my gosh darn costume ready and everything! Carrie only likes Carrie. All hail Carrie and come bringing her laurels, annointing oils and fruit bats!

Seems like Carrie can’t take a hint. I’m guessing (a) everyone is going out on Halloween and (b) Carrie ain’t invited!
