A prolific blog follower has discovered that he accidently spent 3 days last week arguing with himself on a local Catholic blog about Just War, the Death Penalty and the Catholic teaching regarding the non-ordination of women.
The argument lasted for almost 180 different comment postings, and took many different twists and turns before prolific blog follower realized that he had actually been arguing with himself for the entire three days of the debate.
The blog follower, who wishes to remain anonymous, has told the Being Frank staff that he even accused himself of thread-jacking and flaming at one stage during the 3 day discussion.
“I normally come to this blog and post a modest 20 or 30 comments a day, but for some reason, last Wednesday I just forgot about my earlier comments on the blog and then became so caught up in what I was reading that I responded to them in the strongest terms possible, and it all just took off from there.”
Dr. Methuselah Beard, who holds a PhD in YouTube and Facebook from the Stotts Correspondence College, has told Being Frank that while this sort of occurrence is not common, it does still happen from time to time.
“I know of another case where a woman from Timaru spent seven months in an Internet relationship with herself, and it was only after she tried to call herself to berate herself about a offline date that she didn’t show up for that she discovered her mistake.”
Dr. Beard says that he also knows of an international case where a Kenyan Internet scammer gave himself access to his own bank accounts and then proceeded to defraud himself of several thousand dollars in supposed banking transfer costs under the assumption that he would profit financially from the deal.
The prolific New Zealand blog follower says that his mistake has actually inspired him to start a new Internet based trend which he calls ‘clogging’.
“Clogging is going to be the next big thing on the Internet. Instead of commenting on other people’s blogs, I have simply decided to set up my own website, called a ‘clog’, which consists entirely of comments about comments that I have made previously.”
), it seems there is much suggestion for change about. It is a New Zealand day of sorts… although I think it would be cool if perhaps after 2014 and Treaty Settlements are hopefully settled it could a proper national day, rather than one marred by activism or one not really remembered at all apart from being a holiday. The Sevens weekend down in Wellington has a ‘big party’ feel – with crazy costumes everywhere – very fun! Perhaps future New Zealand day could be a bit like that! Though one thing I did think yesterday while I was there is that so many girls dress up as if they are prostitutes or something, and I saw more than one old man stare at them like that – why do they want to be looked at like that??! yuk. You can look attractive without looking that…
