I hope everyone is having a wonderful return back from the holiday weekend and getting back into the swing of things, I usually hate when holiday weekends end, even if it wasn’t that exciting. Anyway, I woke up this morning in a pretty decent mood, I knew I would be working from home today and hanging out with the princess because Lisa had a dentist appointment.
Before I jumped in the shower I figured I would get on the computer and check some emails and of course check the comments on my blog. As I went through my comments I came across comments in my “Dumb Spam Comments” post, I was hardly surprised I knew it would grab a few comments based on how I wrote that article.
It was no shock to me that when I scrolled through the comments and prepared to make my replies that one of the comments was somewhat nasty, hahaha. Actually it was a pretty hysterical shot at trying to be nasty, it’s important to point that out or else you wouldn’t understand why I would be writing an article titled “When Morons Attack”. As a personal/business blogger I find it important to reply to comments that my readers leave here on my blog, I mean really what good would it be if I never responded to the comments that people took the time to leave.
Every once and a while you have a comment come through that is worthy of writing an article about, which is exactly what I did when I wrote the Dumb Spam Comments article, I took useless material and turned it into an informative post for other bloggers and used it to grab the attention of some of the spammers that stop by here. It worked so well that it caused a pretty decent string of comments that included funny Spam Comments that other bloggers have seen on their blog, and it of course included moronic comments by a moron.
I initially responded to the comments left in that post but quickly decided that the comments being left by the moron were worthy of being posted on the front of the bog, well that and the fact that he decided to decline my open invite for him to write a nasty guest post telling me how much I suck. Based on how funny his comments are I thought for sure he would write up something super funny for everyone to read, since he has declined and since I have SOOO much time on my hands let’s take a moment to celebrate…. Celebrate the entertainment we get When Morons Attack.
“Smartguy” as he calls himself jumped into the Dumb Spam Comments article and had the following intelligent and informing input to add to the conversation.
“Maybe you would get more intelligent comments if you took the time to use correct grammar and spelling. But what can you expect from someone selling limos and tanning – your target market must be the most superficial, shallow people in the world.”

Now for the sake of not making this post 1500 page scrolls long I won’t post the entire comment history between Smartguy and myself, you can see them in the original article. I will say it’s clear right from the get go that smartguy has some other issue with me aside from my terrible grammar, if the asshole knew anything about me he would know that I constantly explain that I am not a writer. Not to mention if he were so bent about my grammar he should have probably stuck to that instead of chucking in some personal attacks about the two business’s that we own. Poor sense of focus jack ass.
Now of course I did what I always do and I responded to the comment that Smartguy left, not to mention I love letting people like smartguy leave themselves wide open so they can display to everyone just how dumb they really are. Not a chance in the world I wouldn’t respond to Smartguy, I hardly got out of hand and honestly just repeated back exactly what he said but in the form of a question. I figured if I put it in the form of a question for Smartguy maybe he would see just how rediculous his statements were when looking at them from an outside perspective, nope not a chance. Smart Guy isn’t that smart at all, he responds with.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. They might have skin cancer, but at least they can say they were tan when they spent the evening in that super-classy pink 30-foot Hummer. They must be real important to have life goals like that.
Maybe that’s who you attract when you don’t give two shits about your spelling or grammar. Psychologically, it’s interesting – you’re too stupid to even know that you’re stupid, even though everyone around you has already known it for a long time.
Comment by smartguy — July 5, 2009 @ 8:47 pm | Edit This
Now tis is where I really prove my point, by now and after reading Smartguys response it’s very clear that he is a complete moron. The best part about it is the fact that I didn’t even have to try to make him look like a moron, I left the door open with the question. Moron walks into door. Now it’s getting pretty funny, and based on Smartguys latest comment it’s clear he is trying to discuss topics he has absolutley no knowledge about.
At this point in my back and forth with Mr. Smartguy (the grammar patrol) I decide to leave a nice clear response that points out a few facts in order to better inform Mr. Smartguy so that he can have more solid ground to stand on, I also now give slappy a chance to write a guest post where he can rip me a new ass, point out all of my shitty spelling errors and type ooosuusuus and graymayr issues and tell me how much everyone sucks that tans or uses limos. Here is Mr. Smartguy’s response to my open invite and reply.
Wow, you really have a lot of spare time on your hands to spend your day writing long replies to comments from people that know nothing.
I have to get back to work, providing an actual service from which people benefit.
Good luck with your little fantasy world in which you think you are
Comment by Smartguy — July 6, 2009 @ 10:36 am | Edit This
Now this is when I decided that Smartguy was so funny that I should write a quick article and respond to the last of his questions, especially since he didn’t want to take me up on my article invite. I will list them in a factual order for Smartguy to understand, please note the first 3 Facts proving that Smartguy is a moron can be found in the original article.
Fact #4 – Yes your right I do have a lot of time on my hands to respond to comments from people that know nothing. Not only do I have tremendous time management skilss, I am also extremly effecient. In addition to the two very basic skills I just mentioned please keep in mind I have plenty of amazing associates that are more than capable of handling things while I take a quick break to respond to a hater.
Fact #5 – In the same fashion you believe in your little mind that whatever service you attempt to provide is important, others also find what they do important. It’s ok sugar shorts, there can be more “BIG, IMPORTANT, SUPER SPECIAL” jobs than just one, don’t get so upset by the fact that others enjoy what they do. Look at it like this, if you asked me or actually wrote something that opened yourself up to comments from others you would find out that there are plenty of people that think your BIG BOY job sucks ass. If you asked me, your job couldn’t mean any less to me, I am way too concerned about MY job and business to waste my time giving two shits what you do to feed your face. In other words, take your big amazing job and shove it up your ass with your grammar.
Fact #6 – Just because some sweaty sack from the interwebs feels I am not relevent or the business’s I own are not relevent, it must be true. Wait, thats not a fact, thats moronic. The fact is that your views of the indoor tanning industry or the limousine business could not make it more clear that you have no clue what your talking about. Everything from quoting stretch limousine sizes that were incorrect to bringing up what types of customers use limousines or choose indoor tanning, your an idiot.
Fact #7 – You mentioned that I was too stupid to realize how stupid that I am, let me ask you real quick…. Did you see the shit you wrote? hahahaha. No facts mixed with attacks so basic that it’s clear you don’t know a damn thing about me, really surprised you didn’t attack the hair. Usually morons that jump into situations with their panties around their shoulders and their ass in the air take the easiest thing possible, good job on being slightly different. If you think I am stupid you should take a moment and look in the mirror my friend, when you dig deep and really look you might see just how stupid YOU really look.
Not only are you an idiot but you suck at expressing yourself as well, you could have simply commented that you didn’t like me calling out one of your spam comments as being fucking dumb, it was… Dumb, sorry.
Or maybe just maybe you weren’t one of the spammers that decided to comment, thats fine too it just means your another one of the haters. Have no worries “SmartGuy” this is some playful banter, I have no sweat continuing my shitty ways of writing, I also have no problem waking up tomorrow and realizing I own and operate a Limousine Business and a Tanning business, Im ok with who I am regardless of how much of a fuck up morons like you see me as and regardless of how many people find the things I write useful, I am still me. Im cool with me, are you cool with you? Doesn’t seem like it.
The important thing here peeps is to leave a comment and let me know what you think ( do appreciate the feedback), and if your a blogger always remember you should reply to the comments left on your blog your missing out if you don’t. ;)

Good thing to see you following up with the a-holes. I noticed he posted right after me, and when I first saw it, I was kind of appalled that he put that much effort into coming back again and again. I’m sure he’ll have something unintelligent to say again for this one.

That must feel good to get that off your chest. I am sure “smart guy” is a disgruntled blogger that has no readers and no comments at all. It would make sense that he would lash out at a successful blogger with a strong following like you.

As I said on the original post I enjoyed the exchange bewteen you guys and this post is also a good read! As with the spam itself, I find it quite amusing when people take the time to come on to a blog to attack the blogger – I guess it shows some level. Like the way you handled him. Thanks for stopping by my blog by the way.

@bbrian017 yeah I will agree it’s nice to see so many of my readers willing to get my back, I greatly appreciate it. With as many haters as there are it’s nice to have a set of eyes behind your head.
@TShirtInsight it was my pleasure stopping by your blog, I love T-Shirts
As for the “Smartguy” it was fun while it lasted but I guess he is too “Busy” and “Important” to continue down the road he decided to start traveling down yesterday morning.
[Reply]
lol, I love when morons try to do personal attacks on my spelling because they means they will be reading my blog a lot more. I am happy you had some fun with this guy and made a nice post about it.
Just one thing to make you smile. You own businesses and he has a job. I wonder who makes more money and gets to spend time with family.

To the infamous SmartGuy jackass… Here is my perspective on you and your “intellectual feedback” on Extreme John. First things first there big shot, if you propose that you are at “work”, than why the fuck are you on the internet. How productive are you and what kind of asset do you bring to your company. Perhaps a slacker… maybe a anchor dragging his companies productivity to lower standards??? Either way, it is always great to see counterproductive people who “dispise” on others when in reality, they are insecure with their own lifestyles and “envy” that of others. Also, just like I am entitled to my points of view, you are are entitled to your own bias opinions as well. The only difference though is no one asked you for your thoughts on Extreme Johns businesses, his intellectual level, his outlooks on life or any of that. After all, this is not your blog and no one asked you for your daily point of views. If we did, we would visit your website and read your nonsense day in an day out, but we dont. So, all in all, perhaps you use to be a fellow employee of Johns or maybe you just are a “hater”, either way, bottom line, you are infatuated with Extreme John to some level to where you visit his website each day to add your “useless knowledge”. So to the moron from moron mountain, go grab yourself a cup of wits, sit down at whereever you claim you work and continue to read Extreme John’s rants because we know you will, but do all us viewers a favor and keep your replies to a minumum because no one wants to peer at what you want and have to say.
Finally, while you are sitting over on your computer with your magnifying goggles of glasses on, John is continuing to increase his business empire. And unlike you, he is focused on growth, sales, customer satisfaction and other business aspects. And one last thing SmartGuy, seeing that we are in a recession and times are tough, extreme John is offering jobs and benefits to employees around this area, which in my eyes seems like a great business venture and seeing his companies are expanding to new areas every couple of months, he cannot be that much of an idiot you claim him to be. So my final question lies here…. What are you doing for us US citizens SmartGuy???
[Reply]
Oh yeah, one more thing. Entrepreneurs are people who take “RISKS” in hopes of gaining value through great business plans. They offer followers a vision to build off of. Seeing that Extreme John owns two businesses that are both doing great in this recession, how can he not be an intellect? He has put in his time, intelligence, sweat, stress and sleepless nights to build his business empire. So just because he mispells a few words here and there means he lacks Grammar and intelligence? By the way, grammar sums up everything from punctuation to spelling, so using grammar and spelling together portrays you as an “idiot” big guy.
[Reply]
oh no you didn’t!

@deneilmerritt Maybe some very good points, all though unlike some “smartguys” I don’t judge people. I am happy for him and whatever he has, Im sure he earned it one way or another. It’s just too bad he’s a douche.
And holy shit @Brendan Crawford don’t hold back! I should have let you write the rant it was certainly written better than mine. Haha. Thanks for having my back bro, you have to be thankful for douche bags like “smartguy”, that outlook on life drags them down and makes it easier for the harder working people to obtain better positions in life.

There is also value in investing in a bit of marketing in order to make sure your site can be found by those looking to find you, even if they just seek information!
[Reply]
Of course, you know by now, John, that the more famous and successful you become, the more people admire and love you AND the more people hate and envy you. You must be well loved as well, as evidenced by the outpouring of support on both the original post and on this one.
And you got a lot of content as well. You emerged the winner. But, of course, it’s your blog! You are supposed to win!
One last thing, just because your spelling isn’t your strong suit, that doesn’t mean you don’t have something important to say. Your time means more to you than checking spelling. It’s always best to know your priorities.

I’ve dealt with this sort of moron before, although mine was more of a bigot than anything else taking a swipe at my heritage. I pretty well did the same thing as you, I just gave him enough rope to hang himself. The only thing was he was too stupid to even see that he was hanging from a noose.
