I reviewed a programming book on Amazon must've been 15+ years ago.
The author posted a review of me on his blog. Not a review of my review. Of me and everything he could find out about me on the public Internet.
- jakeinspace 3y agoI’m sorry but that’s objectively hilarious. Were you offended?
- htk 3y agoLet us know the book, please.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoThe author posted a review of you shortly after your review or fifteen years later? Both are bizarre and messed up, I'm not even sure which one would be worse.
- 300bps 3y agoHe posted his review within a day or two of me posting my review.
- catchnear4321 3y agogoodness, what did you do to the poor man to give him such obsessive focus?
- 300bps 3y agoI... gave an honest and reasonable assessment of the book. I think I gave it 3 stars.
- 90ne1 3y agoHow many stars did he give you?
- badcppdev 3y agoImagine if you'd given him 1 star :-D
- catchnear4321 3y agoit may not have elicited quite the extreme reaction. a 3 can be harsher than a 1. while an “unredeemable moron” might leave one star, that may not meet the bar for a response. while fighting with idiots on the internet is a past time, it is typically one entertained by… idiots. a three star review, on the other hand. no, this takes thought. a thinker left that harsh judgement. a foolish thinker, but a thinker. thoughtful, but wrong, incorrect. flawed. no mere idiot, so it must be an asshole. and we can’t have that. justice must be preserved. with a counter-review.
- 15457345234 3y agoThis is why I've moved away from arguing with people on the internet, because there are too many people out there today who are absolutely deranged and will make it literally their life's mission to stalk you through every means at their disposal. Also - mostly thanks to discord - it's trivial to summon an army of kids who are under the age of criminal responsibility who will do almost anything (online) if you kick them a few robux.
- evilduck 3y agoYou need to heavily cite this person’s review of you everywhere. Shit, I’d put that on my resume probably.
