Happy New Year!...Well,Kinda...

I haven't posted in a while.

I would like to say that the reason for this has been because nothing interesting has happened to me. But I can't. Alot of interesting things, to me at least, and things of general import, again, to me, have happened. One of these things I really don't want to divulge on my public blog. Strange,I know considering what I've written about in the past.

Heres something I will write about though...

Anyone remember Dónal O'Driscoll? He was the guy that wrote the letter claiming all Christians to be Westboro Baptists. I blogged about it here.

Anyway, It turns out that on January 2nd, as I munched on a turkey Sandwich, I received a message to my Facebook account. Curious, I thought, considering I had been neglecting my Facebook account recently. So I logged on. The message was from None other than Doney-O himself. He had tracked me down on Facebook in order to wag a finger in my direction for challenging my opinion.

So I flamed him.

To be honest,I was thoroughly amused by the whole situation. I mean,you can only watch so much shitty christmas TV before you get bored of the novelty. It was a nice change to have to point out stupidity to the stupid. Repeatedly. Because, y'know, they're stupid.

Dónal responded quite viscerally to my flaming.Which amused me even more.I even got some respect for the "P.R.O",showing passion at something.He exclaimed:

"My letter, from start to finish was CLEARLY about the CU. A blind chimpanzee could see that. So yes, you were talking complete shite."

Oh yeah, I'M Talking shite. Also when I called him on raping my human right to free speech without fear of retribution he claimed:

"I also never questioned your right to freedom of speech. All I did was point out that your reply to my letter attacked me on points I did not make."

Hmmmm. I mean,I questioned him in a public forum so he attacks me in a private message?Doesn;t seem to be cricket.

But yeah, I had gained a little respect for him for allowing himself to feel angry with me. Firstly, it meant I had done all I wanted to and secondly, he wasn't an automaton. Note the past tense.

In the space of an hour he had undone all respect I had for him.He sent another message...apologising! What the Fuck? This is what he had to say:

" I snapped out of frustration with the tone of your response. Suffice to say, your claim that I was referring to all christians, was inaccurate as could be clearlyseen by reading my letter properly. My letter was clearly a tongue in cheek response to the Christian Union's ridiculous scaremongering posters. If I caused any offence I am sorry, but you clearly did not read my letter properly. I will point this out in the next An Focal, but will do so respectfully.I am sorry for getting snappy."

...So I flamed him again, I also goaded him into writing a repsonse to my letter to an Focal. I don't think he'll do it though. Even if he does It'll prbably be typed on a tear-stained keyboard and will consist of "I'm SOOOOO SOOORRRRRRRRRYYYY!!!!!!!".

And then he wrote another response to me. And apologised for offending me. I thought I was the one doing the offending? He then proceeded to give me his life story.For some reason.I'm not entirely sure why.

Anyway, I look forward to making public disgrace of this man. I'll probably call him the enemy of free speech or something.

Its amazing what a little spin and some "off the record" statements can do.

Nothing is ever "off the record".
