Subject: Editors, please be on the lookout for a growing flame war
Written By: agrimorfee on 09/27/07 at 2:35 pm
Note the parodies written by TullyGirl and zPolak, or where they make comments in OTHER PEOPLE's parodies...zPolak is engaging in hurtful commentary wherever TullyGirl happens to write. >:(

I also had that problem before, when I made a John Legend parody... Some selfish clown named Kimberly threw insulting comments at me, so I reported her. Maybe if ChuckyG tracks down IP addesses used by trolls and flamers, and blocks them, then that would be better...

IPs are a temporary solution at best, and easily circumvented usually. Better to just keep reporting them until they figure out that they're a pest.

Yeah, you're right...

Jason, thanks. I paid no mind to zPolak's comment. zP obviously has no idea who Kristof Robertson is, hasn't read any of Kristof's works, and so doesn't understand why Kristof so richly deserved a tribute. Also think that zP didn't "get" the technique of the parody -- that it was a collection of titles, phrases, and paraphrases from Kristof's songs, arranged into a new rhymed and paced parody, with each of the underlined phrases being hyperlinked to the corresponding KR song. To someone who doesn't "get" that, the tribute lyrics probably would look a little strange.
There also doesn't seem to be any evidence that zP is 1/100th the writer that Kristof is. Comments from sources like that are meaningless to me. Thanks again, Jason.
