i also hate cowards

a little over a week ago i posted that i hate car salesmen

i rarely get comments on my blog - really it's just an exercise for me to put down my thoughts and if any of it affects anyone... great.

today i get a comment from "Anonymous" on that particular post... and i quote:

"That's too bad you feel that way about the Salesman. It is obvious that you are not paid by commission, so you do not understand. You are probably paid by the hour having very little skills other than typing. Good luck and good bye."

come on... really?

you're right i am not paid by commission but i have worked retail commission based sales and it sucks. i don't envy the salesman's life one bit. it's a tough job.

but my skills or my empathy for the salesman isn't what's at issue here. what's at issue here is that the salesman invaded my privacy by taking the information from my drivers license and - without my permission - used that information to find out my phone number. that's not being a salesman... that's being a straight up stalking assbag.

i love the interweb. particularly that it allows a nobody like me to post random thoughts as i go about my life. but the interweb also allows this layer of anonymity where we feel like we can say whatever we want and not have to take any responsibility for what we say.

this guy says what's on his mind and takes no responsibility - posting the comment as "Anonymous". this is the blogging equivalent to running up to a kid in elementary school from behind, punching him and then running away as fast as you can.

that shit is totally spineless. hey "Anonymous", put on your big boy pants, grow a pair and take some responsibility for your words.

i say what i say and i take full responsibility for it all. oh and i also love that since this is my blog, i always get to have the last word.

and for the record, i'm a terrible typist.
