No offense, but…

Thank you for your thoughts on the last entry. Whether you agreed with my opinion or not, I still appreciated all of your comments. Some of you stated that it’s impossible to be original online, and I agree with that idea somewhat, however, I still believe within our “web circle” it is very possible to be original and put a personal spin on things.

That’s not what this blog is about, however. In my last entry I received a comment that both surprised me and confused me:

“No offense and all but your a freak, I mean not to take too personal but the whole Hitler bs sort of annoys most Jewish people, and anyone who doesn’t judge by minority.”
- Casee

Let’s ignore the spelling real quick. Instead, I’d rather point out the fact that she began her statement (if you could call it that) with “No offense and all but...”

I have a few issues with this phrase:

1. 9 times out of 10 the words that follow an introduction like “No offense, but” are offensive.
2. What does “and all” mean, exactly? No offense and what? It’s almost like you’re saying “No offense and stuff” or “No offense and things.” Doesn’t make much sense.
3. See #1.

I was surprised because my blog entry had nothing to do with Hitler. It was a blog about originality on the web, so I was surprised to see that Casee decided to comment on said entry instead of sending me an e-mail using the contact forms I worked so hard on integrating. Sigh, I’ll get over it.

I was also confused. Confused because she called me a freak and then went on to chastise me for judging minorities, but more confused by the phrase that preceded that “opinion”:

“I mean not to take too personal but ...”

Oh no, Casee, don’t you worry. Being called an intolerant bigot is really not something I take personally. What kind of person do you think I am?

“the whole Hitler bs sort of annoys most Jewish people, and anyone who doesn’t judge by minority.”

I’m assuming by “the whole Hitler bs” she’s actually talking about The Hitler Khronicles, a parody mini-site I created for lulz. I thought that was pretty obvious. I mean, the “site” is in between Bleeding Eyes and Thug Bangin’ for fuck’s sake. I’m not a jew hater and until now I’ve never gotten any e-mails or comments from anyone that is personally offended, especially not from a jew (Casee is not a jew). But maybe it’s not as obvious as I thought. In the future, I’ll preface the “mini-sites” section with a big fat disclaimer:

The following mini-sites: Pixelashuz, Bleeding Eyes, The Hitler Khronicles, Thug Bangin’, and Chillin’ in Eternity (even though this one has a little disclaimer of its own, I’ll still include it) are all parody sites and are in no shape or form meant to be offensive or taken seriously.

Since it doesn’t have a full disclaimer I take full responsibility. However, I have a little problem with you, Casee. You claim the following on your personal website:

“hates hitler, anti-semmies, etc.”

and

“another movement casee supports very dearly is anti-racism, casee hates, hates, hates, hates, and triple hates racism, and people who judge others by the colour of their skin, their religion, and beliefs, hair colour, and anything that involves prejudice behavior. i cannot even judge a racist hobo without first meeting the hobo. <3 casee.”

I commend you for hating racism and people who judge others for religion, hair colour, and being hobos. Many bloggers share your hate for racism and hair colour. Hell, 98% of my readers are against mean people. I don’t understand it, but there you have it.

You, however, have no problems jumping to conclusions, judging me, and calling me a freak. I think I can speak for my bird and myself that you need to work on your assumptions and overall attitude. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a disclaimer to draft.
