Fred this account is my own.. and for what it's worth I still think your initial friendly critique reeked of pretentious douchiness.— July 1, 2010 9:51 a.m.

Actually I just read several of Dynomite Frajer's blogs, the links to which are under his "pen name" profile. It's a bunch of blandly written, self-serving political gossip written for chatty cathy's... not to mention mind numbingly boring. Good grief Herr Frajer, now I need a coffee.— June 30, 2010 11:32 a.m.

Actually dynomite101, if that is your real name, I'm just a random reader who's sick of a**hole comments from people who would read a few paragraphs of somebody else's thoughts and then feel justified/comfortable making snap judgements on people they've never met regarding everything from intellectual curiosity and social closemindedness (Fred) to socio-economic upbringing and immaturity(that's your comment tough guy)... So annoyed with people who say things online that they wouldn't have the courage to voice in person, that I actually took the trouble to sign up for an account just so that I could tell Freddy what a jerkoff I think he is. You want to pretend you're an editor? Fine... no need to be a prick in the process though. THAT is the point here. That was what set me off, and obviously a few other people as well whether they are friend with this Matt fellow or not. Dynamite101 and Freddy, at the very least give us the link to the literary gifts you've bestowed on the world. I don't like commenting in online forums and this is exactly why.. because the comment sections are full of nitwits and know-it-all's... frauds and cowards. Good day sir.

"During the so-called Velvet Revolution, I was serving on the Board of Trustees of the San Diego Community College District. I represented the students of City, Mesa, and Miramar Colleges, and vocational campuses including students of the Educational Cultural Complex." Ooh look at me.. I'm an intellectual dammit ! I serve on the board of trustees at a.... a community college. I'm very impressed Freddy.. tell me more.— June 29, 2010 11:22 a.m.

To Fred, People are responding to what you wrote because it definitely touched a nerve. You said you were just correcting a few factual errors but we both know that was not your true intent. I don't care if you use your real name or not, I guarantee that knocking people down on a message board makes you feel good about yourself. I'm willing to bet you look down upon any other Americans you come across in your travels.. Looking down your piggish snout with disdain and prejudging people you don't know and have never spoken with. Deep inside you somehow think you're better than others. I'm going to take a stab here and say it's probably a defense mechanism forged from a lifetime spent isolated from the world at large because of a lack of personality and inability to connect on a meaningful level with others. I can only imagine the apologist crap you spew to foreigners, constantly putting down other Americans as stupid and stereotyping your fellow countrymen are "party boys" with no concern for history or culture and just looking for a place to stick their dick. All in an attempt to paint yourself in a better light. You are a small man. You exemplify a typical elitist douche who thinks he/she knows better about the world and living in it, be it abroad or domestic. Sure you may have a couple friends but I'm willing to bet the people you cross paths with can never really connect with you... because you're self-important prick. I'm going to change just a couple words from one of your very own comments, so that it is more appropriate for someone such as yourself: "I'd aptly call that 'The Smugness'. I don't think you have experienced much beyond the very superficial life of a 'psuedo-intellectual' expat on an 'ego' holiday" Ok, bye now Fred.. I've already wasted too much valuable time telling you what you already know in your shriveled.. and blackened heart. Regards, Mike— June 29, 2010 8:49 a.m.
