Joshua Fleming, Commenting Coward.

It's Hate Mail Time!

This one, a comment made this weekend by Joshua Fleming, Canadian.

To this post from all the way back on February 16, he commented (rather ironically):

Dear Narcisist,
This site is the biggest load of rubbish i've ever seen. If I were I would disontunue it imediately before someone kicks you in the balls. Everyone has the right of an opinion, but not necessarily the right to post it on the internet; especially if it's a load of crap.

Name: Your Mom
Email Address: yourmom@hotmail.com

Oh, but with the not-so-mysterious awesomeness of technology, it was quite simple to trace the IP address to the same IP address that posted a comment just 24 minutes earlier on this post, which dates back to January 20.

On that post, he was a bit more civil and at least tried to make a reasoned case (for how wonderful socialism is, of all things). On that post, he gave his email address and full name:

Name: joshua fleming
Email Address: joshuafleming@msn.com

Fun times.

Just for the record, WILLisms.com doesn't mind hate mail or hate comments. We get them all the time. It's part of having a healthy number of readers. There's also no problem with commenting under an assumed name. But if you are going to post -- what was Josh's word for it? -- oh, yes, "rubbish" (judges also would have accepted "load of crap") under a pseudonym, shortly after posting under your real name, expect to be called out for it. That's just embarrassingly weak.

Dear Willisms.com,
I sincerely regret to inform you that i did not post that comment on that web site. I admit that I am the one who posted the first comment but I have no responsibility for the second. I came across your web site when I was searching google for socialist images and I was linked to the article posted and I felt compelled to respond. I feel I stated my point diplomaticly and responsibly but I do regret the line "do you feel healthy" refering to health care. The second comment was posted by my 13 year old little brother. He saw me write the letter when I was using the computer and he flet compelled to respond. I completely agree that he stated his point with arogance and disrespect towards your website and political beliefs. I believe that there is too much seperation and disrespect from the people of left and right political beliefs and that more needs to be done to close the gap. We are all people seeking a better future and I strongly believe that no matter how seperated you may be, comprimises can be made. I have not shared this belief with my little brother nor have I filled him with socialist propaganda, ultimatly what I have not done is taught my little brother that disrespect and arogance is the best way to express an opinion. Please do not consider me a coward, when I wrote you my letter, I stated my full name and nation. However I am not giving my little brother's name to protect him, pardon me but I do not believe he deserves the hate I am recieving now. However he may have come across in that letter, he is not a biggot and is usualy respectful and polite, his only falut was his ignorance. I know there are some who will refuse to believe me but as a christian and and a believer in the human spirit, I ask you trust my word and respect me as I have respected you.

Sincerely,

Joshua Fleming

Dear Willisms.com
I have respectfully explained to you the situation concerning the hate mail portion of your web site. I now am now concerned because I have not received any feedback on this matter. If it is an issue of believability, I would be more than satisfied to give you all the proof you require. What I ask of you now is simple; please contact me and remove this reference from your web site, what you are doing is immoral and slanderous. I have worked hard to make a good name for myself that is respected and trustworthy but this posting complete disrespect to everything I have strived to be.

Sincerely,

Joshua Fleming
