    I don’t get this site.It’s cruel,sarcastic,unfocused and poorly written and I fail to see the appeal except to other sarcastic morons who can’t follow their own train of thought.Are you as dumb and infantile as you pretend to be on your blog?Who hires you to teach,you must be a disaster in a classroom.There’s enough cruelty and sarcasm on the internet,I don’t understand your popularity.Others describe your site as endlessly optimistic and funny but I just see a crazy bitch.To each his own,I guess.It’s a big internet and I guess somebody’s got to fill it.

    Wow. Well, do tell me how you REALLY feel!

    See, that was sarcasm. I point that out because I think sarcasm is lazy and boring and I endeavor to use it as little as possible. I do understand that people who are very sarcastic read my site as sarcastic. If that makes them happy, that’s great for them. It makes me a little sad, but I’m old enough to know that there’s a world of difference between intentions and perceptions and once you commit words to the page (screen) they’re out of your control, as it were.

    I don’t generally engage trolls and the fact that you gave a clearly fake email address tells me you merely wish to insult me and run. I moderate comments, and I didn’t have to approve this one, but I did, because it’s been a rather long weekend of people suddenly piling on about how poor my writing is, and who am I to argue with public opinion? That was a real rhetorical question, not sarcasm nor martyrdom.

    Plus, how could I resist addressing a few of these points.

    I think a few of my readers may fail to grasp that the digression “style” is a joke. A device. A blog style. It neither reflects my actual writing style nor my state of mind. And if some readers think I’m really insane or can’t follow my own train of thought? Mostly, I don’t care. A person I know IRL said as much this weekend about my writing and I’ll admit that broke my heart a bit, but your comments? Not so much. As I said before, most people get it. If the ones that don’t still find entertainment here, that’s great too.

    As for teaching, I was a highly rated lecturer and my seminars and courses efficiently covered a lot of material well and I received exceptionally high reviews from both colleagues and students, so I shall take their assessments a bit more seriously than a random crank launching an attack from left field. I’m a bit perplexed why you needed to launch such a comprehensive assessment in the comments of this particular post, frankly. I believe you should return, if only to address my housekeeping skills and my abilities in the modern pentathlon.

    I hope I don’t sound as though I’m infantile. Most trolls call me pretentious, though, so I must admit this is a refreshing change of pace. Also not sarcasm, just FYI. Adding FYI to the end of any sentence automatically makes it sarcasm, I suspect, so maybe that was, indeed, sarcasm.

    Mostly, I addressed your comment because my ego delighted in your impressions of my wild popularity. My stats are pretty good, but, um, yeah, what? I’d love to know where you get that impression. Seriously, I’d love to know.

    I’ll probably regret feeding a troll, but the spate of recent assessments of my work as insane and incoherent would be demoralizing if I didn’t mock them a bit, in my cruel and sarcastic way. Here I am, being cruel and sarcastic. Filling the internet with my cruelty and sarcasm.

    OMG he/she is talking about me! I’m the sarcastic moron that can’t follow my train of thought! That reminds me of a post about mega gator vs super python with Tiffany and Debbie Gibson and I wondered what Debbie Gibson had been up to since 1986. I had a crush. Did you know she posed for Playboy? It amazing how many celebrities Hugh Hefner has gotten to pose for Playboy. How many times has that guy been married? Why bother. Funny thing is that Mitt Romney has only been married once and as a Mormon he’s allowed to have three wives I think. Just like Bill Pullman. Or is it Paxton? I get them confused. I think Bill Pullman was the president in Born on the 4th of July. Thomas Jefferson was born on the 4th of July. Kind of neat that he had some strange with the ancestor of Sarah Lee the baker. I wonder if he were alive today if he’d be upset that he has a bad wig on the $2 bill. Queer as a $2 bill he’d say. I guarantee he’d love Mega gator vs super Python. All hail the queen of “mean”! You crazy bitch!

    JunglePete has let the secret out of the bag – I’m forming an army of crazy bitches. It will be vast and powerful and it will, on evenings and weekends when not conquering the Universe, fill the Internet with drivel and nonsense.

    I am so sick I just deleted my own well written, wry, super-troll fighting comment by accident. Instead you get the Cliff notes version, which I am certain that you, Alice, are quite familiar with. Alice, take your writing and please, for the sake of the English language, go home. Whilst there, some courses in grammar, humor, and the art of the widely heralded “stream of consciousness” style of writing which made it’s debut with “The Catcher In The Rye” (look it up, something to do with the great American novel or some such nonsense) would be of great assistance to you, as well as the language as a whole. Drivel is most unattractive, and that blob of drool seeping out of the corner of your mouth really has to go.

    Cheers! (FYI, that was sarcasm)
