Very interesting....

[susandennis]

I just found this in the comment section of one of today's entries. I thought it was interesting enough to promote to an entry. I'm going to set aside the whole issue of anonymous posting, because, honestly, especially when posing a dissenting opinion, I think it's just too lame.

But The Commenter clearly has me nailed and he/she is right about the foreclosure on my condo. I did not pay that bill. I tried. I offered to pay more than 90% of it in a lump sum with the rest as I got it. The bank told me that a bad debt was worth more to them. And I still do think it's fairly ironic that while I must be on their books as a deadbeat, they continue to spend major bucks to regain my business.

And I'm totally missing how this relates to my trying to collect on money owed me. I'm not interested in a bad debt. I am resigned to getting only some or even none of the money owed me. Doesn't mean I won't fight for it. I'm just not seeing a lot of correlation here. But, then, sometimes I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But I'm happy to be a complete something and hypocrite is probably as good as any.

Subject: Interesting.
Your journal is in the friend's pages of a buddy of mine, so I read your posts occasionally. I don't use LiveJournal, I don't have intention of starting some discussion with you, and my name is none of your business.

That said, I want to remind everyone that not too long ago, you posted about not defaulting on a loan for a condo you were buying in California several years ago. You even thought it was funny that the bank that had loaned you the money was sending you letters offering you loans at a higher rate than the loan you have on your current condo.

Really, you come off as a complete hypocrite. But, that's just my opinion, even if it is right.

This is why I don't allow anonymous posting on my LJ. If someone wants to say something, they need to put a name to it. That's how REAL people are. Only cowards hide in the shadows while calling out others on their imperfections.

Dare I say that if this commenter as any debt at all, his label of "hypocrite" falls right back on his face. He didn't know the whole story, yet felt the need to comment on things he did not fully comprehend. Pathetic.

Geez....
Guess that I've been lucky so far and not had an anonymous posting to my journal.

But, even if a post is anonymous....doesn't the person's IP address show?

Hmmmm

[kyrielle]

Only if you set it to, and even then, only to the journal owner while logged in. Not that it means a lot since many ip's are not static or indicative of much. ISPs are unlikely to care about simple unfriendly comments, and reporting it to the ISP in hopes of getting the account nailed is maybe the only use of those generally.

The situation is different and obviously someone is jealous or just not very happy. Small people do things like that. It is a shame. I don't see anything constructive in the comments. By posting anonymously they didn't give you the opportunity to know if it was someone that had a axe to grind. I am sure it is very hurtful and I am sorry you had to read it. The sad thing is that was obviously their intent. It must be awful to be a person that has nothing better to do that deliberately hurt someone else.

Loans are business.The stupidest thing to do with business-loans is bring in values of guilt, friendship, and valor. It is business. Built into every business-loan is the chance it will default. That doesn't mean abandoning values like good-faith and honesty, but they are still business transactions. One failed -- if I read it correctly, one is being resolved businesslike.

Feh, the bank made clear what they wanted in the business-negotiation, and why. That's no reason to start allowing defaulting on your loans.

And this part:

"I don't use LiveJournal, I don't have intention of starting some discussion with you, and my name is none of your business"

None of YOUR business? Susan, you are one of the most OPEN,sincere and totally unpretentious posters I've ever read. It's OK for them to occasionally read all about you, know your name, yet their name is NONE of your business? How rude.

What's even more interesting than a lame anonymous poster is one who manages to take their time and read yours, and even remember such DETAILS about it.

"What's even more interesting than a lame anonymous poster is one who manages to take their time and read yours, and even remember such DETAILS about it."

I agree there. That is obviously someone that is almost stalking. Very weird.

There is an English expression for someone like that Susan ;) A Tosser!

Anyone who doesn't have the gumption to post their name and then proceeds to slate you is a tosser!

We've had creepoid comments about us too, on our own and on other's lj's, but at least the creeps weren't so creepy that they wouldn't identify themselves. And I love the tactic of : "I'm going to say something nasty to you, but I won't enter into any discussion with you."

Even at this distance I feel a sufficiently good judge of character to be sure that unethical behaviour is as foreign to you as......well, this creep ! Love and solidarity from Bill& Ian.

I can think of nothing more cowardly than posting anonymously in someone's journal. Would not surprise me in the least if it is the man who owes you money.

Why are some people such fuck-chops.

Ok, that's not good. You need your rest to get all that crap at work done. Last week, a couple of your posts about your projects growing tumors would have kept me awake but instead I used them to be grateful that my project - as sucky as it was - was at least containable!!
