So here’s my first “official” not as ticked-off post for the day, venting about some insults thrown my way by another artist. Not the reason I activated my blog security at all, but. This guy obviously doesn’t understand American Women with PMS.

To promote your website, there are several places on the web where you can put a banner up, join a “list”. I’m sure you’ve seen them, top sites lists are everywhere. This one is specifically designed for pet portraitists, so I thought why not? Unfortunately, as is with many of those lists, the ones who browse the list are the ones displayed on it. Not a big deal really, any eyes on my gallery are fine with me. 😉

Dean thought he could freely and without ramification post horseshit like this on my blog:

ONLY A COMMUNIST WOULD REMOVE THIS POST.

FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA’S SOLDIERS. MANY ARE PRACTICING SATANISTS, WICCANS, PAGANS, AND ATHEISTS. THEY RESEMBLE THE ARMY OF SATAN FAR MORE THAN THE ARMY OF GOD. THE TRUTH HURTS. (link here omitted to protect, uh, every normal thinking person.)

IN JESUS’ GLORIOUS AND HOLY NAME,
DEAN BERRY — REAL AMERICAN

Judge not lest ye be judged there, Dean.

Now if someone comes to my blog and comments in line with the conversation? It stays. I believe in free speech, even if I don’t agree with it. HOWEVER. You come here and spam your cause on my blog? You get deleted. I don’t post politics because I DON’T HAVE A POLIBLOG. There’s a reason for that, Dean, and you’re a perfect example of that reason. So go on and post your little heart out in your sad excuse for a “True American” blog, spam other blogs as you wish and find the same outcome. Surely it will fuel your fire. I think your behavior is rude, interruptive, and completely opposite of the kind of good folks who I welcome to my blog and in my comments. Take a hike, buddy.

Your friend in communism, apparently,

The Host.

If you’d also like to ban Dean’s ignorance and IP from your website and/or blog, his IP is: 170.215.75.122, this one too for good measure: 200.115.128.37

I have to admit, I love it when my hubby gets a lil’ jealous. hehe. He has been so patiently waiting for some strange guy (who either can’t read or knows he’s going to be blog fodder) to IM me. He jumped on my puter as soon as he heard the chime this morning. Awwww. Afterward, I looked at the guys profile, and dagnabbit, he’s cute! Okay it’s probably not even him, but still. A good looking schmuck of the day. Enjoy.
😆

iaan_spencer: hey
iaan_spencer: so nice pic ofu
iaan_spencer: wanna chat
iaan_spencer: this is ian
iaan_spencer: 35/m/indianapolis
intricateartist : It is a very nice picture of her isn’t it. I really really like it, she is very talented and beautiful…one of the many reasons I married her!!!!
iaan_spencer: lol

He was doing okay at first, actually reading my profile, even clicking through to my blog to see my work. But then it went south. And oh, so fast. Why? Why do people have to be so mean to other people? Does it really matter that I’m conservative? Does that label mean everyone automatically knows where I stand on every issue? Do I even care what political leanings anyone else has? Uh. No. You can be whatever you want to be, it’s a free country. You be nice to me, I’ll be nice to you, and that’s how the world stays a happy place, in my humble opinion. Even respectful disagreements are better than “don’t choke on the kool-aid.” Bah.

So much for this commission. I wonder if my gallery isn’t representative enough of the quality of my work? Hm.

Well that did it. I created a new category titled “Yahoo Schmucks!”

In this category you will find people you might want to blacklist before they target you, or heck, just point and laugh at the sheer illiteracy of these “men” (using that term reeeealy loosely!). He’s another one who can’t read or doesn’t understand what “VERY HAPPILY MARRIED” means. I refuse to talk to people like this, they’re just gross and probably on some sex offender list somewhere. Iew. So here they’re going to be, in their own category, to expose them for their schmucky behavior. My own little “IM Offender” list!

Yahoo Schmuck of the evening:

Out of the blue, I get this invitation to view webcam. Nice. Not. 😡

Oh the joys of having Yahoo IM. I was going to create a category titled “schmuck of the day”, but that’s harsh. Some of the IM’s I get are really very nice, and I’m sure the guy has potential as far as romance goes, but c’mon. Can’t they read? Here’s my profile on Yahoo. It’s been that way since December of last year, after a plethora of indecent IM’s I had to modify it.

They still don’t read very well. I think I’ll start sharing the IM’s I receive, just in case any of these guys actually read my profile and come here, they’ll know it’s all about painting on cam and business, not flirting with strange men.

guywith_hazeleyes: Sorry to disturb you, I was just browsing thru the member directory and looked at your profile, and think you are a very pretty woman.

Aww. That’s really very sweet, and thank you, guywith_hazeleyes. You didn’t disturb me, but you did irritate my hubby a little bit. I’m not the only one who uses this ‘puter. heh.

intricateartist : I do too!….guess that is why I married her, huh?

Aww, but guywith_hazeleyes, where did you go? You don’t want to chat with my hubby? 🙁
