O You Who Leave Lame Comments…
|
The long awaited (and delayed) post is now here. I know, I know you’ve all been waiting anxiously for my rant. I don’t blame you– my rants ARE usually randomly awesome, hehe j/k.
For all of you who wish to comment on any blog, this is a good article to read before doing so.
First, let me just say on Egyptian Gumbo, all comments are welcome, even the stupid ones.They are welcome to find their way under this very post, and for those of you whom I’ve moderated, they are welcome to come to my inbox where I either let them go through or delete them.
But I love them all, even the deleted ones. (There is a certain satisfaction that comes with deleting… ahhh.)
———————————————————————————————————–
The Attention Lover:
“FIRST!,” you say proudly– as if being the first to leave a comment will make you have more friends. “You’re GAY,” you say to any video you see on the web.
I’ll be you’re friend you poor, poor misunderstood geek. Being first doesn’t make you number one on the social scene. Sorry guys.
The Skeptic:
“PHOTOSHOPPED! FAKE!” to anything remotely amazing caught on camera.
Listen, if I want to watch a dog nursing a kitten, I WILL!
The Arguer:
These usually amount to about 30 comments back and forth between two people. Please know when enough is enough. Your back and forth disputing will avail to nothing. If you’re really serious about giving someone dawah take it off the forum and into your email, ok? Thaaanks.
The Unintelligent Debater:
These are usually the people who comment on very important indepth topics, and all they can say is “That’s silly!” or “My sheikh disagrees and my sheikh is much more knowledgeable than you!”
The Promoter:
These are the people who come and say.. “Heyyy everyone, look at what I wrote at www.gettingyouraudience.com. In general, that’s really OK and cool, but don’t come and pop by our sites only when you need to grab our readers, let’s hear from you more often 
.
The Internet Linguist
“PAWNED!” “W00T!” “OWNAGE!” “INCROYABLE!”
Seriously guys, no.
The Macho-Man:
This commenter loves to show what he/she would do if put in a similar situation. “Dude if that happened to me, I’d punch his face out! But great video.”
“You wanna come say that to my face?!”
——————————————-
There are so many different commentators out there. But this post was dedicated to a specific category. I’m sure many of you can add on to this list if you thought about it…
Regardless of the types of comments out there, I appreciate everyone who comes by my site. 
But pay attention as you go blog hopping, I’m sure you’ll find some of these out there, hehe.

lol, I think it’s ‘pwned’:P
There’s also the fatwa seeker, they ask you hardcore questions like your blog/site is a QandA site or like you’re a shaykh(a).
And then there’s the spammer. There’s a famous spammer in the muslim blogosphere, they go on a lot of the blogs and asks them if he can be a writer on their site, or to go make comments on his blog. And to top it off, they have some sort of software that gives them multiple IP addresses so if one of their addresses is marked as spam…they have another one!

Hmm…I can’t seem to find my category

The Censurer: “how dare you write such garbage i disagree with – my opinions are the only ones that are right!” They do very well at writing a coherent emotional outburst… but it would be a greater service if they could provide actual facts to what they so eloquently assert
The Passive-Aggressor: They’re fun if you love mind-games
It’s hard to tell by their harsh ways whether they mean to offend, argue, or mock, while they insist you take the olive branch they hold out – just watch out for the thorns

“lol, I think it’s ‘pwned’:P”
lol that’s how much I pay attention to those comments
haha the spammer with multiple ip addresses. that’s pretty lame.
HK, lol I love the censurer, emotional outbursts. That always happens. You’ll ALWAYS see a “this post is garbage, or you have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Manoffewwords is the perfect example of the passive-aggressor. I think he’d take that as a compliment too.
I should add a new category for what Amir just did. He used two different names and linked to two different sites of his. lol I love that.
I dont mind at all though. I think i’ll update my blogroll soon inshaAllah
thanks for reminding me!

It’s funny how MR and Amir don’t fit into the same category

As salaam alaikum
lol this is a funny post.
You should add the category of “anonymous coward” , or those who would never dare write such words if they were speaking to you face to face.
shirien Says: 19.11.08 at 10:14 am
haha, of course. then there is the “Author disguised as a commenter”
This person is the author of the post, but wants to secretly act like they are other commenter that just so happen to agree with his/her points against the rest of the people that disagree.
mmhmm… you thought no one knew you did it, didn’t you?

Your post is contradictory. You invite all comments yet at the same time you discourage some of them by calling them lame.
Who would feel like commenting when their type of comments have been categorized as being lame?
Is that something you simply needed to get off your chest?
shirien Says: 23.11.08 at 9:31 am
you’ve inspired me to add a new category… “The Nitpicker”
Sister Says: 23.11.08 at 9:42 am
lol…but there were no nits to pick. I’m sure everyone’s head is clean.
