seanbee - super sensitive - abuse with caution

As you can tell from the badge on the right, I have a flickr account. If you don't know what it is, it's a site presumably for photo-sharing, but is also a forum for groups with common interests.

I administer one of these groups. In looking it over, I noticed an image that didn't quite fit in. It was a bird atop a chimney with a rainbow coming down on it. It was seriously over-doctored. And rather than delete his image, I commented on it. I told him it was like a supermodel to me - too doctored for me to find beauty. I said it was like jon benet ramsey - something made up to be something it wasn't. Meanwhile, everyone was fellating him saying how gorgeous it was.

his handle is seanbee and he's a self-pleasuring 62 year old that is a member (and I mean member) of groups such as "girls kissing girls". Poor old sod, gotsta get it from the net - a wanker for real.

Anyway, I get to work and there's an email from him:

:: Dont come back


Really appreciate the comments - thank you all and @derekmas - your comments are very apt. i take on board all you said. I love the way you dress your little monkey as a baby - tho far far far too many pics. I also love the principle and application of free speech - works both ways

I had to start a new account just to reply. I said:

Sensitive, aren't we? I saw your image in a group I administer, but your image didn't belong. Rather than delete it, I commented. Sorry, it looked fake to me. As for free speech, you are free to speak to me, but leave my daughter out of it. I don't know if you're a spiritual person, but you just insulted the daughter of a priest.

And yes, I do have a lot of pictures of her. It's the only reason I have a flickr account. I post images so family all around the world can keep up with her development and download pictures as they please.

Perhaps you should start a new group called Positive Feedback Only - a sit-in for sensitive types.

So then he replied...

Re: your flickrmail


I withdraw my observations about your daughter and apologise to her for them. You were right.

However i still think you are an arsehole so this time don't come back

Yeah! I'm an arsehole! My first inter-continental insult! Anyway, go check out his images and leave negative feedback. He's super-sensitive (like a chaffed glans), and will probably both delete your comment, and block you... twice.

Adios Jackass!

I just got word that Donald Rumsfeld is resigning.

How does one express glee while still tingling with the "I can't believe I ate that much I can't Believe it's not Butter" heebyjeebies that my skin is crawling with right now? (It was a lot of I can't believe it's not butter... I smell like I just got rushed by Fabio.)

First Democrats insisted he resign, but no. Then, even Republicans said, "come on, dude". Still no. Is it really because the American public seemed to overwhelmingly agree that there are some serious problems with the current administration, or did he just look in the mirror this morning and say, "I think I can sell Avon"?

I mean, twice during the whole Abu Ghraib ordeal he offered to resign, but our boy George (Boy George, did I just say that?) said, "no, you're doing a fine job". Now, after what the prez refers to as a "thumping" they mutually agree that a fresh perspective is needed.

Yeah, like one that acts on accurate intelligence.

So now, I reflect upon the Big Lebowski, and would like to paraphrase the American public's sentiment towards Mr. Rumsfeld: "Shut the fuck up Donny!"
