This is why I hate to have a go-public blog
This is my blog, my space, my area. So, let me rant freely.
I know, the moment I hit the Publish button, my post is up and it is open for the public to read it. And I know, when I leave the comment function open, anyone can leave a comment there. This is the time when the comment function can be abused by some stupido on this earth, who doesn’t read the whole post carefully and leave stupid comment after that.
Yes, this stupido does exist, like the so called Pengamat Putri Indonesia (observer of Putri Indonesia) whom left comments in my Medan Daily blog, on my post about the result of Puteri Indonesia 2008.
Pengamat Putri Indonesia
August 24th, 2008 at 12:00 pm eWhat a short minded report! Why only Medan publications make this kind of report? Wake up the people of North Sumatra. Do not allow yourself be influenced by short minded reports like this one. Zivanna Letisha Siregar (Zizi) is the best. Evaluation had begun 10 days before the Grand Final starting from the quarantine days. Zizi has the root from North Sumatra. She is the first Batak that wins this competition. Be proud of her. Let’s support Zizi as the representative of the country to the Miss Universe 2009 competition. Read about her in so many other reports and publications.
I replied and ask the fella to read the post again and think twice before leaving a comment. Because I know I didn’t say any bad words about Zizi or even ‘attack’ her. I was saying that I was disappointed that Raline didn’t win the title and why Jakarta should send 6 contestants while the other provinces could only sent 1. As a citizen of North Sumatra, of course I was hoping that our representative would win.
I don’t give a damn whether Zizi is a Batak or whatever race. Race is not important here. Because after all, she represented Jakarta and not North Sumatra. So, IF one day Taufik Hidayat (the famous badminton player in Indonesia) represent other country, let’s say China, to compete with Indonesian player, are you gonna say “Go Taufik!”? No right?
And, this is what I get today:

You are certainly a disgrace to this country. Let alone to North Sumatra. Do not influence the good people of North Sumatra with your out of the context report. We love Raline. But you disgrace her with your sloppy report about Zizi. Raline and Zizi are good friends. From what you write people can easliy identify that you are nothing but a lost looser.
It gets on my nerve and I feel like slapping this fella if he is in front of me. Why on earth do we have such a righteous person? Wait, I think it is more than righteous. The fella didn’t get what I said and thought he knew well what I said. I hate such a people who assumes, accuses and doesn’t think twice.
Then I saw the email address (start with kimbek) and I knew that I was just wasting my time replying to this fella. Why? The email address itself has shown what kind of person he is. Kimbek is the word that we use to scold someone and it is rude. So well, the fella has stated that he is such a person. Besides that, I found that he also made such a comment on other place (Kompas online).
Having such a commentator adds the color to my comments.
He should join the debate thread in kaskus.us and shout to each other with all the zoo words. There is a lot more people like him in that thread, who is too free and spend their time scolding Indonesia Chinese, debating over race issue, etc. They thought they know everything but they don’t. No wonder after 63 years of being independent, Indonesia is still an underdeveloped country.
I love this country. But not the people.





This actually happened to me a couple of times already. I just shrug my shoulders and let it go. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. If I don’t like the comment, found it really foul and not to my liking, I delete it. It is my blog anyway! Don’t let that person get to you. You know you didn’t mean your post the way that person is trying to make it to be. Just ignore him/her!
And smile
You wrote something that sparked an interest in others, even if that person is stupid! Hehehe
Sasha,
lol.. your last line. Yeah, you right. It’s our blog, we can do anything with it.
This is the root of our country problems ..as long our people don’t want to change their mind set ..our belove country will forever like this…our country need New Indonesian like you…good luck
Talking about rude people there. Well don’t let them got into you. They should learn to respect others opinion.
wish i had such great english like yours guys lol
sorry oot, but you will get used to such comments if you (or your blog) are getting popular
you don’t do it wrong if no one disagree with you
oh and anyway, i know you have some confrontation with him/her, but it’s not wise to reveal his/her email and ipaddress on your screen shot.
just my 2 cent
oops… sorry mistyped there.
it should be
you don’t do it RIGHT if no one disagree with you
bonoriau,
and it’s kinda hard to change mindset. sigh..
Shien,
I feel better after writing this. Blogging is very therapeutic.
Jacky Supit,
I used to follow your blog (before the changes) and I think your English is not bad too. And I’ve taken your 2 cents into consideration. It seems to be a bit childish to ‘punish’ the fella in this way. Hence, I’ve taken it down. Thanks for the words anyway.
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
Cheers! Sandra. R.
