Here comes the troll

March 26th, 2013 · 164 comments

Bill from Florida and his bride, Mara, both electrical engineering majors, decided to infuse their passion for their field into their “Circuit and Swirls”-themed wedding, complete with invitations featuring actual LED-running circuits. In the DIY spirit of things, Bill posted a video and a how-to guide on his blog. (So far, so good.)

A month or so later, after Bill and Mara returned from their honeymoon, they found this handwritten manifesto — excuse me, concerned warning — in their mailbox. (Because apparently plain ol’ Internet bile-spewing via, you know, the Internet would have been a little bit too passive.)

How many people are going to keep and cherish your passive-aggressive notes forever, Andrew?

Seriously. No one cares about your opinions, you insufferable, lonesome prick.

  As much as I agree that the writer of the note is a pathetic loser. He/She did get immortality because once something is on the net it’s on there forever. Unfortunate as that may be in this case. You do have to give them some credit for pointing out that the newlywed’s address was available online. Not a lot of credit though.

  I think Andrew is right on. Actually sending the note…creepy? Kind of; but, as Andrew pointed out the couple did advertise personal info so they got a wedding invitation response. Funny? Yes. Why? – Because Andrew is right. Those people do suck because the are more than just pretentious, they are prideful of meaningless ideas like little children. Just because a pot calls the kettle black doesn’t mean the kettle isn’t black. Andrew may be a troll, but I would rather hang out with him before this couple.

  Oh Bee Good. Andrew is right? Really? (Are you Andrew?) Let’s examine all that he said, ignoring the address thing since many people seem to agree that was a mistake (it was also literally a mistake, as Bill below claims).
  
  Ads on “wedding crap” — trashy? The video here is a how-to video, not a personal video of their wedding. What’s wrong with putting ads on something they’ve put time and effort into in order to provide a service for other people? If their views were in the thousands, then I think we have proof that there was apparently a small market for how-to videos on making blinking light wedding invitations. So, again, what is wrong with making a little money off of something that a lot of effort was put into and that was made to assist complete strangers on the internet? Should people who spend their time making tutorial videos only do it out of the kindness of their heart even though thousands of people are willing to watch an ad in order to get to the video? Again, why?
  
  Saying that people do things “just for attention” is one of the most irritating pseudo-insults that ever was. Let’s talk about why Andrew wrote this letter. Did he do it because he thought he was going to enlighten the couple? Did he do it because he thought he was going to help them? Or did he do it because he wanted his point-of-view to be heard by the couple? Because, dare I say it, he wanted some form of attention? If Andrew didn’t want attention for what he was saying, then he wouldn’t have said it. Simple as that. He would’ve thought his angry little thoughts and then moved onto something else. Instead, he put time and effort into writing a letter so that an anonymous couple on the internet would get it and read it and think about Andrew and his ideas. I think that Andrew wrote this letter “just for attention”.
  
  Desiring praise and attention from other people is not some sick disease, especially if the height of it is making crafty wedding invitations. If you start examining what people do and why they do it you’ll find time and time again that attention from one person or many people is either the main reason or one of the reason people do things. Wanting to be noticed by other people for what you have done is normal, doing harmless things in order to get noticed is also normal. I’d make the argument that when your shout for attention hurts somebody else, or is intended to hurt somebody else, that’s where you cross the line into something that is no longer acceptable. So, which action is more acceptable, making over-the-top wedding invitations, or handwriting a letter to strangers in order to insult them many times?
  
  Why does something need to be cherished forever in order to justify being made? Shouldn’t the activity only matter to the person doing it? If the couple had fun with what they were doing as they were doing it, then why would it matter how long other people keep the invitation? Is Andrew really suggesting that people shouldn’t create things unless they’re going to be forever cherished? Creativity requires some level of disposability, evolving ideas, trying, throwing spaghetti at the wall, etc. It’s simply irrelevant how long people with “cherish” the creation.
  
  While casual friends sure go to weddings for that purpose, what a bullshit thing to say, especially if people have loads of friends. When you really care about a couple, you want to go to their wedding, you want to celebrate the beginning of their life as a legally wedded couple, you want to be there with them. Honestly, Andrew must not have very many people who care about him if he doesn’t understand that weddings aren’t only for the wedded. Family and close friends want to be there with you, they really, really do.
  
  I don’t understand why he cares who paid for it, or why he thinks it’s important to tell them that they could be buying more groceries or tanks of gas. Why does it matter to him? Unless the couple is spending their entire savings on the wedding, and then plan to bum off of Andrew for a few years, it has no effect on him whatsoever.
  
  I wonder if Andrew has some statistics to back up his claim that expensive weddings mean the couple doesn’t actually intend to be married forever but just wants to be part of something big and fancy? My guess is he doesn’t, but his assumptions are pretty indicative of his perspective on love and marriage, which are pretty sad. Nobody should get married if they don’t want to, but assuming that that means that those who celebrate their wedding in a very big way aren’t actually in it for the other person an unsubstantiated assumption that can only come from assuming that somebody who is extravagant is incapable of commitment.
  
  Pretentious. They’re pretentious. Wedding blogs are everywhere, so this couple doesn’t stand out. However, how many people handwrite insulting notes to newlywed strangers because they feel it’s that important that their voice be heard? I think Andrew’s going to find himself in a much smaller, and much more pretentious group, than those who are excited about their wedding and want to show it off.
  
  Everybody knows that marriage statistic. Everybody. I’m not even sure if it’s true, but it’s parroted enough that everybody knows it. He knows he’s not telling them anything new. It’s just a shitty thing to do to tell people that the choice they’re making is statistically doomed even though you know they already know that but decided to make the choice anyway. I wonder if Andrew finds cancer patients with a small chance of survival to tell them they’re idiots for trying chemo anyway?
  
  What is this with Andrew assuming that having guests somehow invalidates someones “readiness” for a wedding? Does he really think that the only reason somebody would want their mother, father, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nieces, nephews, cousins, best friends and childhood friends there is because they want attention, but don’t really love each other?
  
  Again, Andrew’s perspective on having guests at wedding shows us that Andrew has a really sad relationship with other people. He thinks that the only valid wedding is one with nobody at it because celebrating with the ones you love is shallow.
  
  I’m sad for Andrew. The anger you have to feel at strangers on the internet who are happy and showing how excited they are about what they’re doing to do what Andrew did is pretty intense. And that’s really sad. I wonder what Andrew does when somebody he knows in real life does something actually worth being upset about? Though, perhaps that’s why Andrew appears to be so confused about human relationships — he can’t sustain any because he hates everybody.

  Wow, Charlotte.
  With each paragraph Andrew shrank in stature until he was a little weepy bug. Beautiful job. I hope both the happy couple and Andrew see your post.
  I was taken aback by the wedding with no guests as well. IMO guests are an important aspect of a wedding. Weddings announce to God AND your community that you are now a couple. That’s why my wedding was at my parish church with relatives, politicians, neighbors, clergy, and even a real cool elderly couple whom I suspect was homeless. My reception – at home.

  @Charlotte,
  
  I liked your comment until I got to this line:
  
  > When you really care about a couple, you
  > want to go to their wedding, you want to
  > celebrate the beginning of their life as a legally
  > wedded couple, you want to be there with them
  
  Not every couple is able to get legally married. But that doesn’t mean they can’t get married, it just means that they can’t do the business transaction (wedding “license”) that the county demands.

  I agree that while the letter in the mailbox IS creepy, the letter writer is NOT wrong. No one wants to read a blog about how some pretentious $%#& made his wedding invitations light up! Blogs, websites for engaged couples, etc. are all symptoms of a ridiculous sickness in our society. Wherein people think the world revolves around them & that everything they do is important. It’s not. No one cares about your wedding but you. And you’re not so interesting that people want to read your mundane thoughts on a blog.

  Jazzgirl, there is no god. And marriage was invented to pass ownership of a woman from her father to her husband. Of course we have changed that quite a bit but don’t act like it was some romantic, beautiful thing when it was invented, it was not.

  I think those invitations are awesome and I would, in fact, keep it forever. I would go to work the day after receiving it and tell everyone about it. I would also make anyone who came to my house for the next three months look at it — “look at what my friends can do!!!”
  
  My husband and I had a fairly large wedding (at least, for our social stratosphere – many others would consider it small). I am pretty sure that fifty years from now, I won’t remember my tanks of gas or grocery store trips, and I won’t care much that it took us an extra couple months to get our down payment together, but I will remember that for one amazing night, we got to have our friends and family (some of whom have since passed away) all together in one room for an awesome celebration. The value of those memories far outweighs the cost of some beer, wine, and roasted chicken.

  @Maggie Three quick points.
  1) Charlotte’s post was long, but wonderfully edited. She expressed herself pretty clearly, I thought. You, not so much.
  
  2)You want to know the nice thing about the Internet? If you don’t care about something, such as a wedding blog, there’s 1,000,000 plus other sites to look at. Personally, I’ve been browsing lots of wedding sites trying to plan my own wedding. So yes, people do care.
  
  3)Being an atheist is ok, but for some people weddings are a religious event. You don’t have to agree, but Jazzgirl’s comment wasn’t even about religion, so why are you trying to pick a fight with her over it?

Internet Person –

Ya know, if you’re going to call somebody pretentious, you probably shouldn’t use a freaking fountain pen to write it.

Also, nobody is from the Internet. If you were really from the Internet, you’d be nothing more than a string of ones and zeros. People are logged onto the Internet. In other words, if you’re going to send a stranger snail mail, at least have the guts to include your real name and address, coward.

  @ smitten kitten
  
  It can’t be a Magnaball because that is a ball-point, liquid ink pen. It gives you consistently-colored lines, which this note does not have.
  
  The dead give-away that the note is written in fountain pen is the wide nib, which the writer does not seem to know how to handle properly. If I were to bet on this, I’d say he’s using those plastic Shaeffer calligraphy pens you can buy at craft stores because they have wide nibs and stale ink in them.
  
  The whole point (and pleasure) of writing with a fountain pen is that it’s slick, and doesn’t require as much force as a ball-point to keep control of it.
  
  If you zoom into the picture – especially on the “good luck” phrase at the end of the note – you see that the ends of the letters are darker in color than the rest of it. This is particularly evident on the “k”.
  
  The quickest way to tell if I’m right is for Bill to hold the letter up to the light and see how the ink is absorbed in the paper. If it’s splotchy, it’s fountain pen ink. If it’s consistent, it’s a roller-ball ink pen.
  
  Bill, if you still can’t tell by holding it up to the light, try peeing on the note. If the ink bleeds like a water-color painting, it’s fountain pen ink. If it just smudges or doesn’t bleed at all, it’s most definitely roller-ball pen ink. Most (if not all) pen inks are water-proof.
  
  Why, yes I have definitely thought about this too hard. And now I am ashamed of my dorkery.

  There’s actually enough of a debate about that that a large subsection of the population is offended by “couldn’t care less”. There was an article about it in a writing newsletter. Clearly “could” doesn’t make any sense, but so many people say it that it’s almost gained acceptance, disgusting as that is.

  See, here’s the thing about that…Unless you have a particularly heinous and exceptionally specific type of malware, or possibly a deranged wedding planner with a very sharp knife poised at your throat, you don’t HAVE to go to either their “boring” wedding website or their “geeky” personal blog. That’s the beauty of the Internet–there is a niche for every interest, and if I don’t share your interests, I can leave you in your niche and go pursue my own interests.
  
  In Andrew-from-the-Internet’s case, I’m thinking those interests probably include celebrity-stalking, professional holier-than-thou-ness training, and/or making sculptures of the neighbors from used toothpicks, rusty bottle-caps, and discarded Band-Aids.

  Weddings are only super boring if the people having them are boring or overly traditional about it. My ceremony clocked in under 10-15 minutes, and then the afterparty was an outdoor BBQ. We had a water gun fight, too. So if the weddings you go to are boring…welp.

  You’ve hit on exactly what Andrew’s problem is. He’s one of those people who just can’t stand when someone goes above and beyond what’s considered the norm because it makes the person feel inadequate. Just like the bully who picks on the smart kids or the kids who do well in choir or theater, etc. It makes them so mad that someone is inadvertently showing them how so-so they are (in their own minds). Not to start a war, but I chalk the Apple-hating up to this as well because there’s no rational reason for anyone to be so mad about some people’s choice of computers.

  I’m not sure what’s second-saddest about this. Saddest is clearly the guy who wrote the note.
  
  But competing, also-sad things:
  
  - Snail mail is nowadays seen as a huuuge amount of effort such as would only be gone to by people sending out beautiful wedding invitations, and crazy people.
  
  - Letting people know your address is bad… how? This is what directories have done for ever. Yet everyone thinks it’s bad. Even though it’s on every letter we ever get or send, every order form, our pets, and if we’re sensible, any item that we’d like to have returned when lost.

  Will, that’s not really fair though. A lot of decent people are on the Internet.
  
  Frank from Postsecret.com posted his real address on-line and requested that people send him postcards with secrets on them. It’s been at least 7 years now and he hasn’t reported anybody sending him creepy stuff or finding axe-wielding maniacs on his doorstep.
  
  That being said, I agree that it’s not a good idea to post identifying information on a personal blog. I’ve been telling this to people for years (even pre-Facebook), yet people who are naturally open (or want to make themselves Internet brand celebrities) just don’t listen.
  
  To a tiny degree, I do agree with Andrew. I’m glad Bill is getting married and wish him well, but I don’t particularly want to hear details about his wedding, or anybody else’s wedding. I’m happy for you, and in some cases I’ll even buy you a moderately priced gift, but stick a cork in it. (Hence the reason I don’t visit wedding sites read the wedding section in the paper). His wedding is not really a big deal to a bunch of people on the Internet, and people are bound to make fun of it. Mailing him a real letter is completely out of line, though.

  The thing is, wedding sites are not meant for random strangers on the Internet. They’re for the happy couple’s friends/family/blog-followers/doppelgangers/etc. – people who are already interested in their lives. Making fun of people because they have a wedding site is pretty ridiculous, unless you’re one of those people who still believes that the Internet should be reserved solely for business and education, in which case, why are you here?

Incidentally, if you have the opinion that “most people” don’t care about weddings and only go because they are obligated and want a meal, then you must have the dullest friends and family alive. I’m lucky that the majority of the weddings/partnership celebrations that I’ve been to have been really fun and really individualistic celebrations of the love that two people are sharing.

You know, for how great the advice of “don’t put your address on the internet” is, I bet a lot of people have never had to get a job where the primary method of sending out your resume is through the internet. And what do you put on your resume? For some reason it’s your address! What about when they told you as a kid to NEVER put your full name on the internet? Now suddenly you’re an adult and you had better believe you email address should be some variation on your full name or you will not look professional.

As for this note – totally and completely inappropriate in every single way shape and form. These people’s weddings are none of Andrew’s fucking business at all. Andrew is obviously an EVIL person, a dark entity trying to brings other people down. What a fucking loser.

Once a guy on the train passed me a note secretively as I got off at my stop. He was probably about 50 years older than me.

It told me that my name tag was visible and that people might use my visible name to steal my identity or stock me.

I was a little weirded out and couldn’t decide if it was creepy or nice of the guy to pass me a note. At least it wasn’t his digits, you know? He had some major years on me there.

The first half of this note reminds me of the guy.

If these two had just been a couple of randoms who decided that “Hey! Flashing lights are awesome!” then yeah, I suppose the invitations might’ve been a bit much. But I think the fact that they’re both electrical engineering majors makes it kind of clever. It actually says something about them, rather than being flashy for the sake of sparkles.

Then again, maybe it’s just my inner magpie talking. Point is, when it’s something that represents the people involved, I don’t think it’s “pretentious.” And maybe it’s due to the fact that I’ve only been to a couple weddings in my life, but I love them. The receptions, on the other hand, tend to be too long.

What a delightful level of complete psychosis from Andrew! If he were to have posted this to their blog, I’d have thought he won a special prize for being so butthurt over the lives and choices of complete strangers, but to write it by hand and mail it takes it to a level that makes me want to cry. Unless, of course, he’s doing this ironically, in which case, it’s a stroke of brilliance.

Andrew is “correct” on a few points. He’s completely non compos mentis on a few others. But he does not know these people, and as far as we know, these people did not request feedback from random trolls on the internet. So his doing this is akin to my writing to a neighbor to point out how ugly their lawn furniture is–it could be the ugliest stuff on earth, but I’m still in the wrong. What’s next, e-mailing a coworker to tell her that her new hairstyle looks like complete shit, and “I just thought she ought to know”?

  While I don’t condone passive-aggressive notes/douchebaggery of any variety, I DO think it is considerably more pathetic to actually go out of your way to track down information on people who you have literally never interacted with and will never have to deal with in your life, vs. just dropping a douchey note in with someone you see every day. I feel like the disproportionate ratio of effort invested to benefit he will see from this pretty much invalidates every point he had (which as far as I can tell, was basically “DON’T DO STUFF YOU LIKE, AND DEFINITELY DON’T POST THINGS YOU ARE PROUD OF ON THE INTERNET, WHERE ASSHOLES LIKE ME CAN ELECT TO VIEW THEM AND THEN GET OUR PANTIES IN A TWIST OVER IT BECAUSE WE SEEM TO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO/WORRY ABOUT.”)

“I’m from the internet”

LOL

I do get what he meant, but still…what a mental picture!

So, Andrew – Just saw your Twitter feed. Nobody gives a damn about how much you work out, or that you like to nap and enjoyed Spring Break, either. And perhaps this tweet –

“I’ll never understand why people will ditch all of their friends once they become involved in a relationship. Fucked up if you ask me.”

…may explain Andrew’s issue with weddings.

Wow Andrew… Just wow. I’ve been following lots of wedding sites trying to plan my own. If you don’t like it, leave. Tracking them down just to troll is sad.

As far as this 50% of marriages ending in divorce goes. That statistic is probably the most quoted stat EVER, but it’s nowhere close to accurate (The actual percentage is something like 20% Still high, but not as high.)

I’m having a ceremony partly because I only get to do this once, and my sister has personally promised to file for divorce for me if I elope. There won’t be any alcohol though, so I suppose my guests have one less reason to show up… Pity.

My address is in the phone book too. That doesn’t give some creep the right to lecture me.

Gee, Andrew must not have much of a life. When a blog I follow goes all ‘wedding’ or ‘all baby’ I just unsub from them, not get snarky. Poor Andrew, poor, poor Andrew. No life.

Trolls are everywhere and in real life. Just do what you believe is right and follow your heart!

I find it humorous that people are bashing a couple about their wedding blog. It’s a flipping BLOG. No one asked you to look at it. If you were a friend, you’d have been invited but you ONLY know about this because some douche with an internet connection & a fountain pen put into a letter what HE thought and the couple posted it (unless Andrew took the time to upload it before he sent it?).
Get off the train already. There’s literally thousands of blogs – do you troll all of them? Or just bash ones you find out about from someone else.
The fact is – and without a doubt… Andrew is a douche bag with WAY too much time on his hands. He’s creepy and fancies his opinion so much that he has to inflict in on others to the point that you want to get a restraining order. He hides behind anonymity but likely searches for evidence of his actions on the internet with google searches of “Andrew from the Internet”.
Leave the poor couple alone. Get a hobby that occupies your time. Find some way to put your hateful anger towards something positive. You are truly a waste of human skin outside of the laugh I get from how important you take yourself to be. You’re not any better than the bloggers.
