Irony Of Nasty, Insult Laden Post In Response To Insult Completely Missed By Forum Member
January 14th, 2006 by mike
Joey Joe Joe Jones the IV*, in a post today on a forum, responded to a perceived insult from another poster with a barrage of insults of his own.
I was going to let your insutls (sic) pass, but I am so angry right now that I can’t. I want to let you know though, seo_dude_33***, that insults are never required, aren’t nice and only a real {MY GOD, I CAN’T BELIEVE HE USED THE C WORD REMOVED} would ever resort to insulting someone else.
You make me sick, and quite frankly I am never going to respond to you ever again you {MILDLY INSULTING WORD REMOVED}.
Despite the obvious hypocricy of such a post, the irony of responding to insults with insults was completely lost on Joey Joe Joe Jones IV.
“Irony?”, Joey Joe Joe told isos. “{EXPLETIVE REMOVED}ing irony? Are you kidding me? HE called me names. Him. Not me. I just responded to what he started. Ain’t nothing ironic about that. I am a man of conviction and my word. When I believe something is right, I do it. {EXPLETIVE REMOVED} the consequences!”
Joey Joe Joe Jones the IV, despite being “a man of …(his) word” also failed to live up to his word, by responding to a further post that claimed to have meant no offence with yet another vulgarity laden response:
And how dare you try to make this better by appologising? I can’t believe the Mods here would allow such juvenile behaviour. I am so angry I am never returning to this place ever again.
Good bye!
Again breaking his word, Joey Joe Joe Jones the IV returned to the forum five minutes later, only to discover he was banned. Joey Joe Joe Jones the IV then did the only sensible thing he could: he contacted isos, hoping our famed powers and well respected, nay, industry leading reputation would assist in getting him reinstated on the forum.
However, in isos’s first ever public failing, we couldn’t get Joey Joe Joe Jones the IV’s account reactivated, due to a combination of his lack of remorse, absolutely no sign of repetance or offer of appology, and the fact he is a complete and utter {EXPLETIVE REMOVED} that doesn’t understand irony. Still, we tried. You gotta give us that!
When quized by isos on what he planned to do now he was not only banned, but his IP address was blocked as wall, Joey Joe Joe Jones the IV claimed that he is planning on taking his “considerable knowledge and industry standing and starting my own forum”. A forum, he claims, where people will “…be free from the insults of others, and where {EXPLETIVE REMOVED}s are not welcome ever.”
He further claimed that this would be massive, and that “…no hyperbole, but this move will be huge not just for the whole industry, but the Internet as a whole and, just perhap, the whole of humanity in general”. The launch would also feature several “…world firsts of epic proportion” that he claims to have been working on for a while, and that he would announce the official launch right here on isos because our “considerable readership**** is the right sort of people”.
Stay tunned!
* Not his real name
** Not his real usnername
*** Not his real username either. Boy, are we getting wimpy with outting fictional forum posters or what?
****Considerable readership may not be statistically accurate or, indeed, true.
Ok, it is totally untrue. False even. A lie if you will. It is more like a trickle of readers. No, wait. That’s a lie to. It is really just me re-reading my posts a few times to “reminisce”. Oh, and Bob. Yeh, Bob always reads isos. And Jill. She seems to like it too. That testimonial, dude, that is like fully real and everything. Jill actually said that. Serious. Over here. And that is on like every page and all.
Anyway, I guess with Scottie that makes four. And Torka. She gets upset if I forget to mention her!!!! Six including you. Unless, of course, you are Bob, Scottie, Diane or Jill. Or me even. In which case it is still only Five. Is five considerable? (It is one more than the four I previously wrote 
) I don’t think so, but it might be. Oh sure, Brett probably gets more than that for his robots.txt blog, but that is so Web 8.4.33 it isn’t funny. So I reckon four / five is pretty good.
Yeh, f*** it. I am going with considerable, and all you ne’er do wells and naysayers with your Dictionaries and need for accuracy can go and get stuffed!

Thanks!

So, what does a body have to do to be counted as a reader around here, huh? I’ve read every article, even posted commments and everything, yet apparently I’m not included in the “official” readership. Well, pooh on you, that’s all I can say. That, and “pffft,” and maybe “bleh.” I’m going off to sulk and pout and feel sorry for myself now.

I can’t believe you left Torka out of the considerable readership. I’m never reading here again. In fact, I’m going to start my own blog about the wild, wacky world of online marketing. And it’s going to be wilder and wackier than isos any day. so there.

Wow, you got a new reader! Welcome Ben!
I still think isos is too smart for the average SEO, which is why there’s only 5 readers. Not your fault that the rest of ‘em are too dumb to get it.
Although there was this one person at SEW who mentioned you. And it wasn’t even me! So maybe there are actually 6 readers? And then there was Gurtie who got mad because I said that isos was the *only* funny look at SEO that there was. (I forgot about Grey Hat SEO which also is funny. But I never think to visit there. I’m kind of afraid I might like it better than here though, so maybe I better not. What to do, what to do?)
And as for Torka, I see her name as a reader. I think she’s just paranoid or whipped herself too much or something like that.

Oops…the gray hat site isn’t actually called grey hat seo, but http://www.grayhatnews.com/

Bugger off you lot, I read here, Although it is mostly when pissed granted. But lurk I is what I do, and Lurk is what I do well. Although now I can no longer stake that claim to lurk as I have left Lurkendom and gone to the dark side of posterdom!
Anyhow Boys name and girlie hair, I thought I would thank you for posting on my birthday and not mentioning me (actually he is leaving to go to the pub where he and his mate who owns a local post office are writing their script for the Pantomime they are in where they play 2 older dead ugly (as in both dead, and Ugly) sisters of Ebeneezer Scrooge.
