You wouldn’t know hard work if it was ECB’s amputated hand shoved up your ass.
Dan, I’d like to hear more follow-ups but I know there’s a limited amount you can do in that department.
@1 – don’t you have anything better to do? I mean, really… who spends their time obsessively trolling every comment thread on a blog they seem to hate? Can you really not think of anything else to occupy you? I’m just kind of puzzled. I have too much to do to waste time on things I hate.
So I’m curious. How often do the writers whose letters you publish write again? You’ve published follow-ups occasionally, and they’re usually interesting, I think.
On the other hand, if you made it a central part of the column I’d think it would be tough to not end up with Days of Our Lives, in column form, with more ass-fucking.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Flitting around all over the country on somebody else’s buck is hard work. Aww, poor baby.
Maybe just a dumped/not dumped scorecard for the DTMFAs?
Hey look, you found Ecce Homo!
Keep posting links, Dan.
It’s spreading!
@1: get a life. srsly.
Dan: doesn’t the guy realize it’s hard enough getting people to be there when you call?
that said, I’d love to see a show that consists of nothing but followups. but get the web savvy at risk youth to do the work for you.
@1 – seriously, jump off the Aurora Bridge already.
@5 I like that idea. I mean, all these people with fucked-up partners write in, and Dan (sensibly, usually) tells them to DTMFA. I’ve always wondered how many took that advice…
@7 OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
I DIDN’T KNOW THIS!!!!!!!!!
I CAN NO LONGER READ DAN SAVAGE IN GOOD FAITH!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH RUN!!! EVERYBODY RUN!!!!!!!!!
Wow, I usually ignore trolls, but this ECB wine-theft-obsessed person has got to be one of the most pathetic in the history of the internet.
sounds like a stupid idea, Dan. No follow-ups needed. We want to hear your advice, not a life history of the losers who send questions. Veto!
Eric Zorn replied to your post on chicagotribune.com, Click. He doesn’t condone stealing.
@14: Does he condone posting hundreds of troll comments to multiple blogs like a pathetic loser?
Whoa, @15, ratchet it down. If you have questions for Eric Zorn, ask him, not me. Looks like he’ll reply to comments.
Cheers.
I just wonder what was in the letter Eric Zorn submitted.
@9, what is it about this particular poster, out of all the personality disorders and cries for help who comment here, that gets under your skin? I still don’t see a qualitative difference between this one particular lunatic’s nonsense and anything that you, or Fnarf, or whoever posts here? Is it just the challenge to your obsessiveness?
@18
Poster FAIL: reading comprehension.
Please try again later.
DTMFA = dump the mother f*cker already?
Circle yes or no.
DTMFA = dump the mother f*cker already?
Circle yes or no.
Thanks!
PS Sorry for the double post!
I’m sorry, I have to ask. Dan, what’s with the troll accusing you of “smoking your son out” on Eric’s blog? What the fuck does that mean?
didn’t you do this before for a little while and everyone was annoyed and bored with it? You were posting people’s responses to your advice and the back and forth etc. I vaguely remember this. And you said it was more work and people complained about it….
@23 try urban dictionary.
