Today I would like to bring attention to one of my most avid and loyal followers. He has so many interesting opinions about my blog. I will call him Chigger.
I’ve decided to step away from my normal attention seeking ways and invite all my blogger friends to enjoy his commentary scattered throughout my blog.
My favorite Chigger comments:
“The picture above offends my male inability to make eye contact.”
“I’m done wasting time on you. On to the next one…”
“I, on the other hand, deny the lie that is sex. It’s written all over my blog. I deny the lie that is the dating game as well, because it’s ultimately all about sex.”
“The prostitute I visited in a Nevada brothel didn’t find me threatening. I asked her to put on a simple no-contact show from several feet away — I won’t go into detail — and she’s the one who asked me to join in.”
“You think you know me by reading a few things I’ve written on a blog? Now that’s jumping to conclusions.”
“If you were a Christian, you also wouldn’t wear a low-cut top that shows cleavage, because you wouldn’t believe in tempting men with that distraction of sex, and you especially wouldn’t post a picture of yourself wearing such unnecessarily sexual clothing on the Internet.”
“You’re not a Christian, by the way, just a typical hypocrite/liar who calls herself a “Christian”. Christians don’t post glamorous photos of themselves on the Internet.”
“You are both good and evil at the same time, like a demon with a soul.”
“Why on Earth would someone ever need a partner to write something as short and frivolous as a poem?”
“Married women shouldn’t have male friends.”
“Oh, come on. A shoulderless dress? This is just slutty.”
“People who live in denial can be scary.”
“You, on the other hand, apparently want to raise your daughter to be a pathological liar.”
“It’s really sad that modern people have such a psychological dependency on machines. Machines are good for brute-force work. They’re lousy for human interaction.”
“I figured out from your gravatar profiles why all you people are into poetry. It’s because you can’t think straight enough to write solid, coherent, unambiguous prose like a normal person.”
“Why don’t you just make a porn video? It’d be a lot more entertaining than that picture above. I want to see you ___, you teasing whore.”
AND MY MOST RECENT FAVORITE:
“Hasty Whore … that has a nice ring to it. Hah.”
For those of you not “in the know”, I am considered an attention seeking internet whore by Chigger. He has no qualms about stating his mind whether a very rare compliment or to criticize. While most of his observations aren’t worth the time it took me to write this blog I will say he has said a few things that I agreed with. Like:
“If you’re really in danger that much then I hope you also carry a non-lethal weapon with you, like mace, pepper spray, or a stun gun to subdue the attacker until the police get there. It’s nice you want to be a hero and help a friend escape a bully, but remember, Batgirl had a utility belt.”
Before putting these posts to spam from now on I wanted to give him the attention he seems so desperate for. Who am I to judge Chigger’s judging ways???
One last note to Chigger:
If you are obsessed with sex and pornography you will see it in everything you view. The world around you will become a series of sexual experiences. The trees will sway erotically in the breeze, the rain and thunder will sound like a series of passionate moans and cries. My advice to you… start looking at the world differently. Not everything is dirty, sexual, or depraved. Admittedly, my blog has had a few sexual poetry posts but if you take in the entire picture… I am just a person with problems and emotions like everyone else.
I hope you find a place where you are content enough to be a light to those you come in contact with and that you take your own advice found in the quote below,
“Do you know how you can spot a bully? A bully butts into other people’s conversations simply to put someone else down in order to make himself feel better, because the bully has low self-esteem.”
Brilliant 🙂

I wonder if Chigger will privately savor every word you’ve spent on him with this post, as I suspect, as he composes a comment that says otherwise. Good post, hastywords.

I’ve been told by my ‘friends’ that I’m an attention whore and only care about the written word. My own family could give two craps that I’m now a published author. When they read my stories, their only comments are they’re ‘nice.’ Screw that. I don’t listen to the critics anymore. I listen to other readers/writers like you. You’re words are worth more than any amount of money I could ever make on a story. Your poetry is astounding. Put his comments into your spam folder and keep writing. You’re wonderful.

Humph – first off, I admire your sense humor and the ability to take the high ground:) I am not certain i could do the same. Secondly, your blog is your blog. You do with it what you see fit. Chigger’s opinion is just that – one opinion. The 5th Amendment gives him the right to make his opinion known, just like it gives you the right to have a blog – BUT – if in any way shape or form you feel threatened, then this is when I would pull the plug with him. Maybe he never grew up – remember in our youngster days when a boy would pick on you because they liked you? or maybe… I am going to stop right there ad follow your example and take the high road:) Summary – you are great and we love you – do not change!!

Well done, well said, and might I add that you have a unique and amazing way of dealing with things. I hope Chigger will step back after this and seek the help that is so obviously needed. You are a wonderful writer, but an even better person Hasty.

Mocking my name? That’s a bit childish.
The reason I called you a whore is because it’s an accurate description of this blog. You are kind of a visual (facial) whore, kind of a poetic whore (because some of your poems are about sex), and obviously an attention whore for even having a blog. There are many different types of whores.
Although, you’re not a very good whore because you tease too much and don’t show enough. A whore is bad, but a tease is worse.

You’re a misogynist. And you want talk religion? All you say about Jesus…one thing I know about Jesus is that he was never cruel. I wouldn’t use His name the way you do so freely, using it to justify your attacks. The Jesus I know would never condone any kind of brutality, even verbal brutality and condemnation, to occur on behalf of Him.

In an age where technology, politics, work responsibilities to name a few, tends to isolate and silence individual voices having a blog doesn’t make one an attention whore.
If we had to stop to indulge every person, who deemed themselves so astute of vision and free from imperfection to judge us and where we were going in life, no one would ever get anything done. Even the greatest most lauded amongst us had their detractor. I think having detractors is proof positive that one has stood for something.
I have always liked and appreciated your presence on the blogosphere. I hope these comments, don’t stop you from doing what you have done, what you continue to do and wherever you plan on taking things

Your blog will always be one of my personal favourites, it is so full of fun and life. The genuine warmth and affection that you bestow to your husband, family and friends are what attracts people here and why they become loyal fans. I respect your fearless attitude towards the vapid criticism directed at your blog and how you treat it with intelligence, humour and decency. You have taught me the joy of collaboration, of how words can take on beautiful art forms and that poetry is worthy of a greater audience. I hope you continue to do this for many years to come and I look forward to enjoying more of your work in the future. You are a constant source of inspiration and I’m sure your daughter will grow up to be very proud of you. It’s because of people like you that I write and it’s because of people like you that I and others will continue to do so with gusto!

Chigger strikes me as the kind of guy who would beat up a girl in an alley because she turned him down for sex.
For a good laugh, just google his name and see how many other people he’s done this same thing to. Always a woman, too. Seems he knows a thing or two about being an attention whore.

Probably from being raised solely by his overbearing mother, who most likely felt sex was dirty and yet it’s always a woman’s fault when a man acts out.

I LOVE the end Hasty .. How you ended it with HIS comment, yet how it is SO extremely linked to ALL of his ridiculous behavior!
I will not ramble on here about what I think of that .. human .. because he doesn’t deserve my time.
I will however, call you tomorrow because I love you and ALL your ways and think you are one of the most beautiful people ever and because I love it when we talk or leave kind messages of friendship!!!
So, yeah … Chigger is a douche. You are a beautiful goddess.
Period.

I simply had to thank you very much all over again. I do not know the things that I could possibly have undertaken in the absence of the thoughts shared by you on such subject. It seemed to be a real frustrating situation for me, but taking note of this expert tactic you managed that forced me to leap with contentment. Extremely happy for the service as well as believe you recognize what a great job you happen to be providing training the rest through your web site. I am certain you haven’t come across all of us.
