        <p>Like a lot of people, I have a&#160;Google alert set up to let me know every time my name comes up somewhere&#160;new on the Internet.&#160; I&#39;m in the newspaper occasionally, because of my job, and it&#39;s good to know where the stories are reprinted, etc.</p>
<p>Because of this Google alert, I have also been - inadvertently - following the career of another Daryl Branson, a country gospel musician and one heck of a retail salesman in North Carolina.&#160; <a href="http://badmuzick.blogspot.com/2007/12/good-music-break-4-spotlight-on-daryl.html">Here&#39;s the latest</a>, which is a post on someone else&#39;s blog about him.</p>

        <p>I&#39;ve recently, much to my chagrin, begun an Internet correspondence with one Vox member by the name of <a href="http://drjanuszrogowski.vox.com/profile/">Dr. Janusz Rogowski</a>.&#160; It started when he commented on <a href="http://cupcate.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c2251f58b7549d00d09e7f9709be2b.html#comment-6a00c2251f58b7549d00e398cd20210003">a picture</a> posted on <a href="http://cupcate.vox.com/" class="enclosure-inline-user" at:enclosure="inline-user" at:user-xid="6p00c2251f58b7549d" at:screen-name="CupCate" at:delegate="people-connect" at:user-pic="http://up7.vox.com/6a00c2251f58b7549d00d41426f35e3c7f-75si" >CupCate's blog</a>.&#160; He stated that he found the language she used to be inappropriate.&#160; I&#160;should have minded my own business and let CupCate handle it, but being the proactive guy that I am, I suggested to him that clicking the &quot;Flag as offensive&quot; link might be more effective than posting a comment saying that you&#39;re offended.</p>
<p>That was in July.&#160; Then, earlier today, someone named &quot;PureMedic&quot; with a shell account commented on the thread, rambling on about how women are inferior to men and other misogynistic crap.&#160; Rogowski posted immediately after, responding to my comment, asking me how he could remove his comment from the page, and that he was asking because I had given him Vox advice before.&#160; He was upset because the page was coming up in Google searches of his name.&#160; I told him that I didn&#39;t work for Vox, but that the only person who could delete comments was the blog owner, so he would have to ask CupCate.&#160; </p>
<p>I&#160;then followed up <strong>in a separate comment </strong>by calling the misogynistic spammer &quot;PureMedic&quot; an idiot.&#160; It&#39;s not very mature, and also a statement of the obvious, but I felt like saying it.</p>
<p>Now, this evening, I have received the following private message from Dr. Rogowski:</p>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<p>Paxton,</p>
<p>Your &#39;effort&#39; at calling me an idiot was ineffective at penetrating my ego. This is a personal message so nobody else but you can see it. This Vox thing seems to be for USA people mainly and is not personal. You did not answer my question about the google page - SO FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p></blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">My response:</p>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<p>I didn&#39;t call you an idiot.&#160; If you look again, you&#39;ll see that my comment calling someone an idiot was directed at the comment above yours, written by someone going by the name of &quot;PureMedic.&quot;&#160; His comment was ignorant, rambling, and misogynistic.&#160; If you are &quot;PureMedic,&quot; then yes, I would be calling you an idiot.</p>
<p>As for me not answering your question about the Goggle page, you&#39;ll have to forgive me for not caring.&#160; I don&#39;t work for Google or Vox.&#160; I am not your tech support.&#160; Despite this, I did answer your question - the only person who can remove your comments is the blog owner, CupCate.</p>
<p>As for Vox being mostly for people from the USA, the majority of the people in my neighborhood are from outside the US.&#160; It is geared toward people who are somewhat Internet savvy.</p>
<p>As for fucking me... I think I&#39;ll pass, but thank you for the offer.</p></blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">Shortly after receiving the first message from him, I then received this one:</p>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<h2>Re: Steinerts</h2>
<div class="message-body">
<p>So you live in some kind of motel? I call that white trash, as no half-decent person &#39;lives&#39; in a motel. Maybe you own the business; it seems there are only two buildings, and they&#39;re small. So you captured a satellite view - woohoo - aren&#39;t you clever!</p>
<p>Paxton, you&#39;re a&#160;gaping vagina&#160;and have nothing of substance to say, so why not shit the fuck up?</p>
<p>Oh - did I say something offensive? Nah, the words convey my meaning exactly.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>JRx</p>
<p>This is a private message so ..... just don&#39;t think about it, cretin.</p></div></blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">Where the hell did he get the idea that I live in a motel?&#160; The title, Steinerts, tells me that he sent me this message from a pic I had on my page from the hot air balloon ride I took a few years ago.&#160; Here&#160;it is:</p>

<p dir="ltr">Do you want to tell me how anyone can think this is a motel?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here&#39;s my response:</p>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<p>I do not live in a motel.&#160; I live in a house.&#160; The picture you are referring to is of a greenhouse nursery... you know, trees?&#160; I took the picture from the basket of a hot air balloon.</p>
<p>Your opinion of which portion of the human anatomy I most closely resemble is entirely your own, so I will not argue.&#160; I would be happy to &quot;shit the fuck up,&quot; if I knew how.&#160; Perhaps you could demonstrate and put the video on YouTube.</p></blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">At any rate, I&#39;ve blocked him, not that that always stops people.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Is it conceivable that he actually holds an advanced degree of some sort?</p>

<p>To be a statue, unchanging and unfeeling<br />Would, at least by some measures, be a relief.<br />To be unconcerned with the changes of the times,<br />Or the weather, or the fashions of the age.</p>
<p>If I were a statue, and viewed to be cold,<br />It is all that could be expected of me.<br />You can&#39;t get blood from a stone, nor tears from bronze.<br />And you cannot get a breath from me.</p>
<p>If I am not viewed favorably, he who hewn my visage<br />May shake his head and sigh,<br />And set upon his latest vision with hammer and chisel,<br />And forget that I, his failure, still stand in town square.</p>
<p>Birds may land on me; children may climb on me.<br />Vandals may scrawl their names on me with paint.<br />Tourists may use me as a landmark,<br />And yet&#160;will&#160;I stand, unscathed by indignity.</p>
<p>Without a viewer, a statue is not a man,<br />Nor a vision of a man,<br />But only a chunk of stone or metal,<br />Created by other hands, for other hearts.</p>

<p>Remember, remember, the Fifth of November<br />The Gunpowder Treason and Plot<br />I know of no reason<br />Why Gunpowder Treason<br />Should ever be forgot.</p>
<p>Set in the not too distant future, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&amp;q=V+for+Vendetta">V for Vendetta</a>&#160;is the story of&#160;a masked man who takes on a totalitarian regime which has taken over Britain.&#160; It is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night">Guy&#160;Fawkes</a> vs. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four">1984</a>.&#160; It&#39;s a very powerful story, and the backstory of how the world came to be the way it is unfolds throughout.&#160; It isn&#39;t often you are brought by a story to root for the terrorist, but V does it.</p>

        <p>I ran across Richard Cheese among my Internet travels, and knew right away I would have to get more.&#160; He takes pop and rock&#160;songs, the lamer the better, and instantly makes them cool by doing covers of them with a full Big Band backing him up and singing them in Vegas Lounge-Singer style.&#160; This is the first song I heard from him:</p>

<p>You do know, don&#39;t you, what there are a limited number of apostrophes, and if you misuse them, you&#39;re taking one away from where it really needs to be?</p>   <p style="clear:both;">
