George Smith, 2003-01-27

The prison-bound author of the Gokar virus loves shoes, pole dancers and personal self-disclosure. His blog tells all.

Vmyths Writing Style 2003-01-27
Anonymous (2 replies)
Personally I cannot stand the way Smith and his counter-part Rosenberg write. It is an annoying style, not funny, with a ratio of information to drivel set at 1000:1

Do try to write cleary and to the point guys, it is literally like finger nails on chalk boards, your writing style.

Chin up....

Nice way to criticise the way someone writes a comment.

The fact is that yoda boy above, wrote a quick comment about the writing style of this article, and that's all it was - a comment.

Your comparing the way someone writes a comment to the way someone writes an article... how dumb are you?...

Yes - you will return, I know you will. You just won't reply, pretending you never returned.

If one is to criticize another's writing style, don't you think that person should at least be able to use correct sentence structure? Regardless of whether it is a "quick comment" or not. If you have th...

Golly, I'm not sure I've ever read such a self-absorbed, turgid pile of rubbish. Mr Smith ironically knocks the self-absorbed, boring blog with an article that is at least comparible to the worst offenders I have read. Can I point our that this is the point of blogs: they're personal journals that a...

Perhaps you would like to visit the Cottage Loaf - the pub the picture was taken at. In that picture did it look like she didn't want the picture taken???

Perhaps you can now find better subjects to comment on... Simon broke the law, pleaded guilty and got punished for it (a harsh punishment in m...

I never said what he did was OK did I?

He broke the law and got punished, you might want to read my post again as I believe I mentioned this. My point was about this article which just had a go at the way Simon was living his life. Considering how much knowledge the author has about the subject (...
