Blog Commenters Manifesto, Part 2

We are now onto part two of Blog Commenter's where i break down each type of blog commenter that you will see. Basically i am grouping anyone who comments on a blog into about 30 or so groups. Here are #6-10. (Part 1 can been seen here)

The Bad Spellar Guy

These are not just someone who mistypes a word by accident. They misspell several words and you can tell they are trying to spell them right. You can almost see them sounded it out in there head and getting: Cuncosshen, Fateeged, Intersepcion or Dubel Dribbel. These are some of the funniest post you will find.

The Personal Comment To The Player Or Team Guy

These are the guys that pop up usually during a tragedy or if a player is down for some reason. There posts normally consist of "Hey Darrell, My Family and I are Thinking of you. Go (insert sucky team)" or "My (sister, mother, friend, wife) went through the same things and you are in our prayers". This person actually believes that the athlete reads all the comments on all the blogs and say "Boy, Dan from SLC really put things in perspective in regards to my enlarged gonads". This person spends a lot of time going back to this same blog post and reading the comments hoping the player responds directly to him.

The "Disrespected" Guy

I think i hate this guy the most. He has taken this new phase where every athlete thinks their team is disrespected and now applied it to himself like he is part of the team. He usually starts all of his posts "Why does everyone disrespect MY team..." Actually thinks people are disrespecting him personally. I cant talk about this (cough, cough, Boston) guy anymore.

The Copy and Paste Guy

This guy usually has read some stat or some other story about this blog post and basically copy and paste it into his comment and try to pass it off on his own. These people are not very bright because they usually use the quote from some other writer on the same site or from the actual post. They rarely can form their own opinions in social situations and often contradict themselves when they read two differing opinions from two different stories as they get confused. This happened a lot during the Santana sweepstakes when Boston fans would comment with one opinion for him and then the next day switch their opinion when they read another columnist with a different opinion.

The Guy Who Just Posts They Are First to Comment

These people have no use in society or to the story. All they write is "First" or "1st". So basically they sit around all day and look for stories that no one has commented on yet and go type "1st". Hey congratulations, this is the first time you have been first since the short bus picked you up for school and you know how to type "1st" And really it isn't even a comment on the story, since they rarely are able to read the stories.
