Dubloon shows his class
Posted in Old blogger by Twenty Major on December 14th, 2004
After posting an email address to which readers of his mypoic blog can send feedback, Dubloon posted a couple of emails which were very positive towards his site (and it is a he), then to balance it out he posted this, somebody who doesn’t appreciate what he writes.
However, instead of just publishing her letter he proceeds to attempt humour (I assume he thought the ‘Normans’ gag was quite clever but I’m sorry to say it was about as funny as cancer of the spine) by dissecting her mail in a childish rebuttal. Pretty lame, you’d have to agree. Remember, Dubloon closed the comments on his own site because, and I quote, “…visitors who come to read bad things about Dublin are not interested in total strangers bickering.”.
So what makes him think visitors are interested in Dubloon taking apart an email sent to him about his site? If he’s going to bicker surely he should give the person he’s trying to belittle the right to reply. Not just in another email, because he can edit those to suit himself, but in a real time way, in a comments system like another blogger worth his salt would.
Stop being a coward, Dubloon. Settle down with a nice cup of java and turn your comments back on. It’ll make your blog a better place, as it is you’re just making yourself look (more) like a petty, sore and spiteful individual.

Mercy, that Duboon is such an awful pedantic fuckwit isn’t he?
Not only does he dazzle us with his wit and verbosity, he can correct words and tweak comments to such a high degree of school yard nah nah ni nahism. This, that, I am agog at his insults. Huzzah, we’re so lucky to have him in our midst.
Poor old Fiona, you should never have crossed verbal sowrds or indeed had an opinion that did not blend with his own rantings, shame on you,( I’m wagging my finger at the computer screen)

Sort of like what this blog does, though with fewer uses of the word cunt.
And to make sure that 20 isn’t going to state I miss the whole point of his site. The dictionary states the definition of Satire - Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity. Hmm….I don’t see anything there about the use of profanity….I guess I don’t need to worry about finding satire here then. One less thing on my Christmas list.
If you can stand seeing yourself in the mirror, don’t stand in front of it.

People who use phrases like ‘the dictionary states’ are usually people who bore the ring off other people, while desperately trying to prove how intelluctual they are.’Look ma, I understood the meaning of dat word, so I did.’ Sorry Nonnie 3, I hate to spike your self bloat, but as if we -the readers of this blog- need descriptions and clarifications from the likes you.

Well catty, far be it from me to try and educate the likes of you. It seems you are all stuck in your own little worlds, with your heads up your arse, and can’t really come up with more than just attacks against me. You all like to pretend you can construct some nice argument, but when you are called to task on it, then you just go on down to name calling and profanity.
Try using some FACTS people! List them out, give some sources that deflate the information presented, that would be a debate. But none of you care about that, its just whinging and profanity, good enough for the pub so good enough for the blog.

Well, I went out, I came back, and lo, there was a reply waiting for me, I said to my self, can it be an intellegent repose? Of course, it wasn’t. Oh anon, how I wasn’t surprised, not even a little bit, so disappointed I am, bitterly. I looked for the profanities in my commen, rubbing my thighs in delight, but I could not find it, fancy…That my suggest that you annonnnnoooonnnie, are somewhat full of merde, or shit, as we in Dublin might say.

Im new here. Someone please enlighten me, why is this eejit still here if he hates Ireland so badly that he has to post it on the web and waste his time researching the deeds of a few skangers?
If I went round seeking and photographing puke and burnt out cars I wouldnt appreciate Dublin either. He should get out more and look at the fine women we have, now theres something worth obsessing over…drool…

Well I come in here this morn to see if there might be a spark of intelligence, and there was a cat lying on its fat arse. Sure enough, nothing new or useful. May as well make a potholder out of it.
Couldn’t find profanities eh Catty? Well I see fuckwit which contains one, far as I am concerned that fits the bill. I don’t need to waste more time on you.
And yet again after all this complaining about the posts I still see no facts to refute any of it, go back to rubbing your thighs fatassedcat and leave the thinking to those best equipped.

After a delightfully late lunch of fish and cognac, I wandered lonely as a cherub back to this hallowed ground, switched on my computer with a Christy Brown deftness that suprised myself and was staggered, nay shocked, that my mild dislike of Dubloon should cause such fervour in someone else. I read your post Nonnie3 and, though it is somewhat garbled, I did attempt to understand it. Oh meow, what was it I and the other readers of this site are supposed to be refuting? That Dubloon is a pedantic fuckwit? I can’t imagine anyone refuting that one, so what is it you require Nonnie3? Apart from a good seeing to obviously. I’m off out now for a spot of catting about, I’ll check later to see if you’ve worked out what it is you are so cross about. Now, I hate to think of you sweating over a reply so take your time, interesting comments are like furballs, they come out eventually, no point forcing them. Toodles.

I see by the prose that fatassedcat is posting that Joyce still has no worries about having his position usurped.
Hmmmm…my issue with the Dubloon site? Well none other than the whining about the lack of facts in the responses to that blog. If you don’t like it, don’t read it, why you all do is rather strange, but maybe you just like to complain. Or at least back up your complaints to the blog with facts of your own that refute the points there.

Dearest Nonnie 3,it’s little bit queer how you and Dubloon both attack a person’s writing style when called to task…strange. And when you drop the bar to sticks and stones… ackty-i-ack, what made you realize that my feeble pastiche wasn’t the work of Joyce, was it the name? The fact that flesh still clings to my bones? What gave it away? Darn it all, maybe it was the typing, on a computer, daily. I shall not sleep a wink tonight now that my paper thin cover is blown. How will I live with the knowledge that I don’t write like James Joyce…sob, it’s too much…you wicked fiend, you have cut me to the quick…and so on, I’m sure you know how this ends.
On to more interesting things, Twenty, if I ever meet you I’m going to give that beard of yours a good grooming with my raspy tongue. Tell me, is that yellowish hue a permanent feature?

It never ends, it just goes on to one more thing.
If anything is pedantic here its you catty (I’d say 20 too but at least he has amusing moments), though maybe you should just go on and become a corpse, at least then you might be doing something worthwhile for the environment.
Next time try typing with both hands, you might get better sentence structure.

Is there anything worse than unintentional irony?
Yes, there is. Fools with big vocabs but no original or humorous thought. Bah. Bumhug.
Anon3, this isn’t a direct quote of yours as I couldn’t be arsed reading your dross again, but “if you don’t like what you read, don’t read it” seems like a fair summary of your view point to me.
Now with your constant references to 20’s profanity and his supposed lack of good material, I’d suggest you take your own advice and simply stop coming here, that is if you want your opinion to hold any weight.
It all smells a little ironic to me.
Currently you’re actively engaged in doing to 20 as we do to Dubloon, so get off your soap-box.

Well then Ciaran, how does it feel?
Do I care if you read me or not? Nope. You’re all a bunch of poncy pseudo-intellectualists who think you’ve got it all figured out. But yet, your arguments just devolve to name calling and claims of irony, which it isn’t. I have yet to see anyone here back up their point of view with facts. When I caught wind of this it was all complaining about someone elses point of view and how no one could post their side, well none of the sides I saw had any facts to refute what was being said, so it was all just about no place to post your whines. Not every place is perfect, but if you want to refute the negativity show some positiveness, none of you have.
Will I stop coming because you ask me too? Doubtful, but I won’t be wasting much more energy on you all. It was fun while I enjoyed it.
Far as I am concerned you can all follow this advice - http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=manly_suicide

It feels great. I enjoy banter.
As far as I know, I haven’t bothered calling you any names as yet. Not that I don’t think you’re a boring cunt.
I don’t try to paint myself in an intellectual light. I don’t think I’d pull it off.
You’re the one mentioning Joyce and such.
Seems to me you’ve got a bad case of criticising yourself. Every gripe you have could be aimed right back at you and would be a much better fit.
I’m sure there’s a scientific sounding psycho-babble term for this, but being the ignoramus that I am, I haven’t a notion what it might be.
I wasn’t asking you to never come back. I know better than to provoke the stubbornness of a thorough bore such as yourself.
I was merely pointing out that if you want your advice to have any degree of validity, then you should leave.
I’d much rather you stuck around making a complete hypocrite of yourself.
Perhaps you don’t need me to point out this hypocrisy, it’s blatant, but nonetheless I will.
As for your spiel about posting positive remarks as opposed to refuting the crap Dubloon shits from his fingertips, well this is nor the time nor the place.
The place to do that is most certainly through the comments feature on his site, which has been disabled.
This is bloody obvious. Even you must see this.
This leads onto your latest hypocrisy. You claim we senselessly abuse and mock him and his site, yet you senselessly defend it. Why?
Do you know Dubloon? Do you share his hatred of Dubliners?
For the record, one last time, I’m not some mindless patriot.
I agree with much of what’s said on the blog. The trouble is the parts I don’t agree with anger me. Rile me.
That is after all what they’re intended to do. It’s a big fat wind up designed to antagonise Irish people. It succeeds in that respect.
Anyways, carry on defending it. You’re not doing Dubloon any favours.
You’ve a remarkably similar manner to him in fact.
Sure half of your arguments are merely regurgitated Dubloon ramblings. You’re a bad thief.
