Doing Europe: Prague, Czech Republic
Yes, my parents named me Dynomite. And apparently there are 100 others. I'm sure Mike McDade is real too. It sounds like a super hero's secret identity. Perhaps I am missing the point of the comment section. Maybe it should be called the "pointers and praise section". I wasn't making any "snap judgments", I'm just a person who read an article, read the comments, and found it an absolute riot. I decided to call foul because there is something fishy about the attacks on this Fred guy that's all. I admit I found his comments a bit much but he had many good points and I agreed with them all. I would have never taken the time to chime in based on the article alone, it was the comments that followed that made it impossible to resist. People seem to be taking this really personally. Including you Mike. You've taken quite an interest in defending this unknown author and his article, you sure you don't know him? Or maybe you are a superhero selflessly defending random authors. Whatever, one person's Charles Dickens is another persons firewood. If you enjoyed this article and found it entertaining I'm happy for you. I enjoyed it too, I said it was silly, silly isn't necessarily bad. You don't have to attack people with differing opinions, just voice your own and leave it at that there superman. Dynomite out. By the way, it's good day Mam tough guy.— June 30, 2010 12:05 p.m.
Doing Europe: Prague, Czech Republic
Best thread ever! When I stumbled upon this I never thought it would be so entertaining. Fred's comments were dead on. And I'm pretty sure everybody backing up Mr. Veseskis are his friends defending him as a person as opposed to his work. It's painfully obvious, he probably reached out in a mass email to his college buddies for support in an attempt to engage in some kind of childish counter attack instead of simply being a grown up and taking the criticism. However, if the participants in this childish exorcise could put aside the fact they know this guy and look at the story, I think they'd agree it's kind of silly. I don't know anything about Prague so I wouldn't notice any factual inaccuracy but I found the article extremely self-serving. "Ooh, look at me, I went to Prague and banged some locals and drank absinthe." "I'm so fancy and worldly." The whole thing sounded like some spoiled kid's half wit attempt to justify a few more years of avoiding responsibility after school. Come on people, "The Feeling?". Is this guy for real? "Ooh, I experienced The Feeling so I'm on another plane now." My advice to Mr. Veseskis is to man up and deal with some bad reviews when they come. It seems he could use some criticism. And if he can't take it maybe he shouldn't be posting his stories. Time to grow up.— June 30, 2010 8:43 a.m.
