E-mails We Can't Share
I sh*t you not. Mark from New Albany, IN writes: “hello all: maybe some one here can help me out can some one tell me where do you all get that dumn ass
Chris Pirillo from anyway ? the guy is sick he sucks big time and call for help is going down hill fast. as far as seening the show on tv again never.
never again for me as long as you all have that dumn ass on the show………………………………………” Please allow me to point out a few things, Mark. Or, as I like to call you, radar4077.
(1) The word “dumb” does not have an “n” in it. (1a) “Dumbass” is a single word. (2) The SHIFT key is on your keyboard for a reason; use it when you begin a new sentence. (3) “Down hill” is one word. (4) You are normally allowed just one punctuation mark at the end of a sentence, with the only exception being the use of an exclamation point and question mark in succession. e.g., “Where the f*ck do you get off calling me a dumn ass?!” (5) “Someone” is one word. (6) You might consider using commas to separate items in a list. e.g., “Mark is a jealous, petty, thoughtless kid who has nothing better to do with his time than send e-mails to people he doesn't know.” (7) “Seening” is not a word. (8) You're not the only one not watching our show. Our ratings will not be hurt by your boycott. (9) Do not place a space between the last alphanumeric character in your sentence and the punctuation mark. (10) When referring to something that happened in the past, might I suggest using the past tense? e.g., “You're a load that should have been swallowed.” TechTV “got” me well over a year ago. You might have known that had you spent less time emulating Corky from Life Goes On and more time learning how to construct a valid argument. *plonk*

*shakes his head* Why do these people even bother. They just make fools out of themselves. You'd think he'd learn a lesson from this, but, instead, you should be able to revoke this person's ISP account.

It seems to me that this guy should spend his time watching “Sesame Street” or “Reading Rainbow” instead of Call For Help.

Chris,
Beautiful rebuttal,Not that he'll be able to comprehend it.Perhaps if he had paid attention in school he wouldn't feel quite so threatened by intelligence.
Personally,I've been around computers since the Altair and I still learn new things from you all the time.

“You're a load that should have been swallowed.”
This is almost as good as:
“When he/she was born they would have been better off raising the placenta” .
or:
“The best part of him/her ran down thier daddy's leg”.

Hey Chris,
I think you and the gang at CFH rock. What one says doesn't make a difference if all the other fans are there for support.
Check out my blog entry from yesterday and I think you will see my plug for you and CFH!
Have a great weekend and you rock Chris!!!!!

I especially enjoyed the bit about proper formulation of a past tense statement. If nothing else, such ill-executed criticisms provides nice, fat targets for coherent, derisive and humorous rebuttals.
You must get all kinds of interesting e-mails.

First of all, please don't judge all hoosiers by that one “dumn ass.” I've been living in Ohio, which isn't much better, for three years now. I still consider Indiana my home though.
Secondly, New Albany is pretty much Kentucky. New Albanites are definitely hicks and I'm suprised he was even physically able to find techtv with his remote.

Hey, I resent that remark about New Albany is pretty much Ky. I live right next to N.A. (really in Jeffersonville) and I can find the remote! A Err just wanted to point out that Mark dosn't speak for all people who live in New Albany and surrounding areas! Acutally, I think Chris is doing a great job on CFH and he should keep up the great work! I have to say I like CFH and TSS both…but CFH was geared toward what stuff I used. And since this subject has become a rie, I'm going to start watching the show more even if it invovles me bring a small tv with cable reciever duct taped to it! Again Chris, don't let them get to ya, he don't speak for all of Indiana! At least he don't speak for me! – Grady Joslin aka Das Familiar

Actually, I'm suprised that this dumbsh%$ has an internet connection. Must be at a public library or an airport and one of the terminals was left on this page by an unsuspecting gnomie and he took advantage. Of course, he feels your show is dumb because he's too dumb to understand…

I live in New Albany. I am not from this rancid little hell hole but, this is some of the things that you have to put up with daily with the Common Southern, Indiana Street Urchin. You are fortunate that you do NOT have to deal with this on a person-to-person basis. I would like to extend an apology for this knucklehead. Hopefully, someday… Darwinism will be proved right, and this crap will be eliminated from the gene pool.

N'Albany is red, but it is definately not “pretty much Kentucky”. Across the river from me (here in Louisville) is a whole new (very red) world.,
BTW, TechTV is channel 61 here in the Ohio Valley area, and TVLand is 65… Beverly Hillbillies comes on the same time as CFH some nights…

Hey Chris, I discovered you last night on the CFH marathon show…I think i am your new biggest fan after reading your response to radar4077. I thought I was the only person on the net concerned with grammar/spelling…and now that I know that there are other cool people who use their Shift key (among others), I feel as though I have been vindicated.
You have a great website and I have enjoyed reading your blog. I do think, however, it would be even if you would put some more biographical info up for your fans…although I can understnad you wanting to keep some privacy.
Anyway, thanks for the great work on CFH.
