Abuse…

September 26th, 2006

It seems as though people seem to be aiming a little abuse at me over the past few days, but the funny thing is, that a.) I couldn’t give a f*ck what these people think b.) no one is bold enough to actually write their own names to their comments, and c.) well, I have a great life, a great family, good friends, a nice job, good prospects and a great girlfriend, and it’s all good. It would seem these people are either envious, jealous or are just a bit evil and like to abuse people they know nothing about.

Anyway I am off to the gym to meet Nappa for a leg session, I presume the geeks will still be in their boxes trying to hurl abuse at me all night, oh people, you do amuse me so…

And no, I won’t be approving any more nasty comments from you losers, keep it positive, keep it pleaseant.

Peace.

    Word up Ben. I heard on the grapevine that my name had been taken in vain on your blog, so I thought I’d come check it out! Unfortunately I have neither the intellect, wit, nor time to be the Green Monster or Johnny Deep - I wish I did - but I did mention your site to some friends and colleagues so they may have been having some fun at your expense. Glad to see you are well - and getting to go on holiday a lot. Also good to see that the whole web design thing has taken off - although is it OK posting such forthright comments on a web site so closely linked to your company one? I’m not sure if your clients read your blog but if they found a link across from the home page it may damage your professional integrity…I dunno…probably not. Anyway enjoy your next trip, and I hope the work leg out with Nappa was awesome! Big hugs, Rodders.

    Peace bud, I was hoping it wasn’t you, but wasn’t too sure. Hope all is well your side and you’re keeping well. Take care and hope you and Kate are still rocking!

    Personally I think Ben’s ranting blog strengthens Hungrybrowser’s appeal if anything. I want a web developer with personality, although I must admit his quite obvious temper tantrums do give him more of a comedy appeal at times.

    Anyone who knows Ben will realise that this blog is exactly him, it’s what he stands for and how he behaves, and even if a little out of touch with the real world at times, a very fair representation.

    I assume they encourage personality repression in the likes of IBM. Ben Ellis is Hungry Browser so why hide it…

    Envious and jealous, hm? Time you bought a thesaurus, my lad. Dimwit. They mean the same thing.

    And no, I don’t suppose you’ll approve this, you’re having a pram related toys/floor interface.

    “Anyone who knows Ben will realise that this blog is exactly him, it’s what he stands for and how he behaves”

    Dear God. I thought it might have just been a wind up, but it’s all true! You are this ridiculous! Tch. How awfully depressing.

    Ah, we have an owner to some comments, Emma Goldstein, whoever that is. No one said you had to dig my life and who I am, so no worries, you are entitled to your opinion. If you don’t like what I write, then don’t read it, simple. But for someone who thinks I am such a dick, you do spend quite a bit of time reading and commenting on my blog, mmm interesting…
    Before you go around judging people you have never met and know nothing about, maybe you should tell us a little more about yourself, then we can get an insight into your great life and see where I am going wrong with mine huh! Haha, I don’t think I will have too much to worry about tho…

    Thanks for visiting, take care, keep it positive and do come back again soon…

    This gets more interesting by the day, it cracks me up how some people always try and be so smart and smug… thesaurus… hmmm, deffo a teacher, they always feel the need to big up their intellect.

    So anyway, I thought I would google Emma Goldstein, either youve made this up and your referencing some dodgy old Tv programe.

    Or more likely its you I see on the 5th image of a google image search on the name Emma Goldstein….

    For those with a sense of humour you may find this funny

    There is a bit of short termism going on here. A hungrybrowser isnt just for Christmas but for life. A constant source of amusement and bemusement.

    No, not a teacher - but my 11 years compulsory free education obviously gave me something that you could never be accused of having. I also feel no need to post details about my life so people can gasp in awe and wonder at me, unlike some. You put yourself up here, you need to learn to deal with the fallout. And this is only my third comment! Time to deflate your ego, bumclown.

    (Actually, I see what you did there. You googled my name - you go, GoogleBitch!) And there is an Emma Goldstein who is a teacher. That *must* be me. How silly I am not to have realised what my job is. Or maybe this is me: akidcalledemma.blogspot.com. Who knows. It’s on the internet, so it must be true.)

    And you, Beej, punctuation is your friend! There I go, being all school-marmish again. When will I learn, eh.

  10. Ben Ellis said:

    Haha, this continues to make me laugh, sounds to me like this chick needs to get laid man, what you think Beej, tagteam?

  11. Beej said:

    hehe, oh well there is something brighting up my day.

    I dont know who is antagonised easier, Ellis or Goldstein.

    I am sorry we by-passed your sense of humour, but as Ellis said you must find something here interesting, as your mad for the posting.

    I really didnt expect to find you by googling your name, some of us do actually come up at number ONE and were keeping it real, and then some of us dont, It’s just a search I do to amuse myself, you know searching a someone I know to see if there on and who they share a name with.

    hehe, bumclown, now thats the funniest thing I heard all day

  12. Ben Ellis said:

    BTW: Goldstein, just in case you are getting excited there, when I refer to tagteam, I refer to the way we are giving you a virtual working here, neither Beej or I (with our respective girlfriends) partake in chasing cannines, there are places for that, like Battersea Dogs Home. Maybe if your website wasn’t entirely in Flash and had better SEO, we would find through our google search, actually you reside at the dog’s home.

  13. Emma Goldstein said:

    Ooh, cutting. No, really, I’m hurt.

    Dear God, you really are depressingly stupid. That’s not my real email, Ben- do you think I would give that out to people like you? Bumclown. Therefore, I do not work for that company. Try harder. Or keep with your Battersea Dogs home jokes. My, they are funny.

    Haha, Emma Goldstein, what a witty psydonym huh, well our lack of whitt still keeps you comnig back for more doesn’t it. Anyway you are boring me now, so please go away and have a happy life, the effort it takes me to to click the link to approve your comments is not worth it… now be gone with you…

    Be calm my beloved creatures. So much angst from souls so young. Keep taking the happy pills and all will be forgotten.

    Hello…me again. Sorry….I rarely get to speak to the masses these days so I thought I’d endulge myself.

    Quick question to the group: has anyone taken time out to see Snakes on a Plane yet? I hear it is rather good and would like to take my niece who is 6.

    Thanks for your guidance my children.

    This set of rather bizarre comments is making my day, you are all very clearly mad! Miss Goldstein I think you have added a little spice to the fray, and I look forward to seeing more from you.

    I also see from your grammar and excessive use of the letter ZED that you are either American or Canadian, that would explain your total lack of humour. I’m sure that you claim your family are originally Irish (as your nation’s culture is also distinctly lacking) but it seems a shame you had to mess with our language.

    Ben and Ben you are a great double team, grumpy young men. By the way according to google I am a famous church organist.
