what's the deal with all these anonymous hate comments? at first i kind of understood why you'd want to hide your identity. the jokes just weren't funny. i'd be embarrassed to leave my name behind those comments. but the right-hand/left-hand thing was pretty funny. you really should take credit for that. all you'd have to do is post a comment under your name then say somthing like, "i heard from brian's left-hand that . . ."
the only other reason i can think that you'd want to leave your comments anonymous is because your in a tough situation. you have a big crush on me but all your friends hate me, so you post anonymously to save face with your friends but also so i don't know it's you writing those comments. but i promise i won't get my feelings hurt. and, if you keep writing funny disses like the right-hand/left-hand thing, i may even begin to get a crush on you.
or the comments are being left by mr. p and he doesn't want his mormon friends to know that he swears. but i understand that. mormons can be so judgmental.

Ah, well. I'm not Mr. P. In fact, I know none of you, which is why me being anonymous really makes no difference.
A few things:
1) Maybe, just maybe, Mr. P's reticence to use the f-work isn't about being self-righteous, etc. as you claim. Maybe, just maybe, he does it out of respect for those around him? I really enjoy the f-word. Not everyone does. Some find it incredibly offensive. Most of those people probably don't find "effing" as offensive. So, usually, when I'm around those people, I don't say things like "hey, Brian, you dumb fuckstick, what's up?" I'll say something like "That Brian is one f-ed up a-hole, but he's somewhat amusing."
2) Aeryn, Brian... while I'm sure Brian really IS a motherfucker in real life... like you both pointed out, it's a hate blog, so let me hate.
3) I'll stop commenting now, and just sit back and be entertained. Crush on me if you must. Make your blog private if you don't want random haters to stop in.

1. i think it dumb when people have a problem with f___ing but not with effing. they mean the same thing. i do, however, understand that people don't like certain swears. when i'm around them i don't say f___ing of effing. instead, i don't swear at all because there is no difference between real swears and half-swears. i have yet to see anyone argue seriously that there is a difference between the two.
2. go ahead and hate.
3. i like that you numbered your reasons but i may be losing the crush i had on you earlier today, but i think we can work it out. and, to be clear, i love random haters. this is a hate blog. please don't stop commenting. it you want, you can join the blog. but try to be funny; you're obviously capable.

Shucks. Now I'm crushing on you. I'm just hoping that Brian is really short for Brianne (like Sam/Samantha) and that when Aeryn calls you his brother, he's just being overly politically correct and trying to avoid sexist language. Or maybe I'm just going gay. Not that I'm hating on gay folks, "good for them" I say.
PS - not all of the anonymous comments were mine. (Just the ones attempting to be funny.)
The one with the punctuation all over the place: Not me.

Wait, one last think and I'll be done. "i think it dumb when people have a problem with f___ing but not with effing. they mean the same thing."
There IS a difference. It's in how we're conditioned. Me (a shaky Mormon at best) and a friend (a really good Mormon, except for the R-rating thing) both went and saw The Departed on Friday. I loved it, would give it 2 thumbs up and 5 stars. She... thought they swore a lot, though she had no problem with the splatter. My response was "Really? The swore a lot? I honestly didn't notice." Conditioning.
If you call my girlfriend a "seaward", I'll probably giggle. You call my girlfriend THE c-word, and I'll probably stomp your head into a curb like Ed Norton in American History X. Words, regardless of their true meaning/connotation, have impact in and of themselves. Get it, numbnuts?

i loved the departed too. did you think it was way funny in the weirdest way. like they had al those cell phone jokes. and don't forget the funniest line in the movie. when leo quotes some line and martin sheen asks who it is, leo responds that it's hawthorne. then mark w is like, "don't you know any shakespeare?"
but the only difference is conditioning. i think that if you use f___ in it's original context it can be offensive like, "so i totally f___ed this gril last night." it's offensive because it promotes negative attitudes about sex. but in other contexts it's not so offensive (although it's still probably offensive). my point is that effing or whatever isn't using the word in a different context but merely replacing the swear, so it still should be as offensive as the swear. i know we're conditioned to think other words, but this is conditioning we can change, maybe. if we can change anything at all, which we may not be able to do.
the c-word is defintiely offensive because it's so sexist. i mean, in my opinion.

but i'm serious about you being part of this blog.
and i'm a man. but if we were together we could go watch departed. i want to see it again.

calm down, Whitney:
I'd never actually curb anyone. For starters, I'm way too out of shape, I'd probably only chip a tooth. And i don't have any white-power friends to protect me from arse-probing while in prison.
And yes, AHX was one of the most disturbing movies I've seen, that particular scene especially.
Brianne:
Hmm, maybe I will join this blog. Though I think I hate in spurts. I'll work on being consistently bitter.
And I'd totally go on a mandate with you to see the Departed again for the fourth time, as I already have other mandates lined for viewings 2 and 3.

Uhm, ok I guess.
But now I want to punch you in the ovary. Right in the babymaker.
