Hate Mail And Stupid Comments

No bullshit social publishing news and opinions. Follow Brandon.

Monetizing the mouthbreathers who wield mighty clubs made of stupid.

Entry #1: You Fail At Life And Twitter

Inbetween harassing Shaq (exhibit A, exhibit B, followed by some racism in exhibit C), @maryjoanm messaged me saying, “OMG now I have heard everything. My shrink cousin said I had emailitis. HE is pompous.”

I replied: “emailitis”? I think that’s a pretty clever phrase.

Which brought about this:

When I block someone on Twitter, I tell them by saying something, followed by “You fail at both life and Twitter”. You can see me doing that here.

Bye Mary!

Hate Mail / Stupid Comments Disclaimer

Don’t ever confront someone online trashing you on their turf. You don’t control the debate there and you’ll lose no matter how right you are.

But: If someone is harassing you, feel free to mock and mock often on your own website.

I’ve decided to take a page of Dooce’s playbook and monetize the time and hard work people put in to send me hate mail. All communications are republished as is.

By sending me a … forget it. I’m just going to quote Maddox’s hate mail disclaimer. It’s too awesome not to and it will also be my policy on SBI concerning any form of social publishing that I deem hateful:

By sending me hate mail, you acknowledge that I own all rights to the entire contents of your message, any images sent with the message, your email address, your house, your car, your first born and your soul. Furthermore, you agree to make your email address publicly available on this or any other web site, and you accept my views and opinions as being right regardless of anything. Furthermore, you agree that it is okay for me or anyone else to slander and/or libel you on this or any other web site, in public, at your place of employment, or anywhere else in this or any other universe and/or dimension. Know that sending me hate mail is a request for character defamation, endless belittling and excessive mockery. You may not sue me for any reason, ever, and this disclaimer is subject to change without notice, and you are still subject to the rules regardless of any changes made. If you do not agree with these rules, then don’t send me hate mail.
