"You are a little bastard"

Posted by Bill

I smell a wee bit of overreaction.

Though to be fair, 13 year-old kids can be pretty sneaky. Shifty eyes. Small hands. And they spend way too much time in the bathroom.

UPDATE: Cheese and Crackers apologizes:

I sincerely apologize for the "bastard" comment. It was out of line and unnecessary. I was hot under the collar and I should have waited until I had calmed down to post on the topic.

Matt and B4B should not be dragged through the muck for that comment, that was my comment, not his.

Really, the entire issue was my doing. Matt mentioned to me that his image got instalanched at another site. I had been in contact with Austin before over other things including the Tsunami videos. I overreacted. Again, I apologize.

Sounds good to me. Happens.

No, that's carnies. 13 year-olds smell like jergens hand lotion and dirt.

well, it can be awfully hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Gee, Austin comes out of this sounding more mature than Matt and especially Jordan. Upset because a kid "stole" his instalanche?

Excuse me but it appears the pot is calling the kettle black...

The pic is widely used throughout the MSM, and was copied from the original posted on ansarnet.ws/vb

I just looked over there http://www.blogsforbush.com/mt/archives/003609.html

What is funny is I fail to see a cite, link (or permission to copy same)from the source of the original photo in question. Who did they steal it from? If they are the source of the photo the FBI probably needs to speak to them.

Now with that in mind, wasn't someone recently (Jason the jerk) complaining of copy write infringement and stealing intellectual property.

Blogforbush nor Jason (the "jerk") are the legal owner of the original picture they display and subsequently alter... Who gave them permission to use it, or are they taking someone else’s intellectual property?

Slamming a 13 year old kid for doing nothing more they did themselves...Very tacky.

It's a form apology. I got the same thing.

Posted by: fat kid [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 3, 2005 02:58 PM

So? Does he need to tailor it for each site?

Posted by: Bill from INDC [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 3, 2005 03:11 PM

I think it's past that now, just lame that he has a bot doing his apologizing. I run a completely asinine blog and within 1-2 minutes of my post, I had an apology posted. No effort involved. No top post on his blog? Yeahp, I'm gonna discount the apology...

Posted by: fat kid [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 3, 2005 03:13 PM

Tell it the kid and His mom...

And remember he is 13, you are not...

Jordan,

Your apology is appreciated. Unfortunately, I have already released an account of your attempt to seduce me.

Sorry, dude.

*NOW* I feel a little better. I got what I requested: A big post at the top of his page.

Maybe his advertisers actually read his site, and he'll get hit where it hurts. His wallet.

This fourteen year old posted an entry in the Carnival of the Vanities over at my site last week, complaining about teenage political bloggers who attempt to drive traffic based on their age. Man. You'd think these guys would be too busy getting their girlfriends pregnant.

Anyway, when I'm nine (in four years) I'm going to give up blogging for the Boy Scouts, assuming they've changed their policy on atheists by then.

Good point. I mean, if I'd had the internet when I was thirteen, blogging is the last thing I'd be doing with a computer.
