this is too sexist and scary for the likes of me....
jcin i cant get you an even bigger cyber bodygaurd if you need bud.
dorabelle..stfu(in the nicest possible way)you are out of line
frost..dude really over 22 pages because of you
rhale,cueporn..cowardish children who probably have lots of non descript soccer trophies for participation

the seriousness to which some of you answered is outright scary
blogs,columns,tv news and papparazzi all do the same thing,get over it and move on.
btw if melinda was a boy,there would be alot more internt tough guys on here
 
I agree with you here so just hear me out. I think a lot of people are not quite getting what some people's real beef here is. All the witty writing and even the bestiality thing was funny, a little over the top I think but funny none the less. What their argument is, and it does have merit is that OMGWTF went too far with all the "this is Mike's head" comments.
It is childish or grade schoolish to point at someone's features and make fun of them. You want to rag on him for his behavior, fine. You want to make fun of what you perceive someone's physical imperfections to be, well you just crossed the line. It's the same as using someone's weight problems, looks, or a handicap to get a cheap laugh. No difference.

I saw the references being a knock on Mike's ego. She so very cleverly used the running joke about head size to say essentially you might have a big head but you don't need to have a big head. Imo.

John,

You got a smartphone! I finally got one too. I hate trying to use it to read AZ.

Tell me how this place isn't the exact copy of what would happen in a poolhall on any given night, and why anyone here would expect anything different.
Most people in this thread wouldn't talk the way they do (here on AZ) in a pool hall
 
He was a dick so it's cool that she's a bigger one?

I've disagreed with you in the past but on this thread your balls on right.
If Mike acts childish is one thing,to write a hate Blog on him is another.

If people like this,thats fine,I would love to see if she gets the same
response if she made fun of Shane being Deaf,or how he talks
while being interviewed.Wouldn't that be a hoot?:rolleyes:
 
Thanks for posting this if for no other reason that I had forgotten about her blog since hairdildo and got to catch up. Very funny lady she would fit right in at Gawker.

My objection to the running head joke is that she ran it into the ground. Once, twice, three times a satire. More than that and you are in danger of a comedy foul.

Love her tournament recaps and choice of photographs. The world would be a lesser place without gems such as these...

I use the tapatalk app on my iphone as well. I can take a pic on my phone and add it to a post lickity split. Using a computer to post a pic was a nightmare.

Yes, it's cause and effect. Look let's all be SUPER CLEAR. Mike's head size is a running joke that he seems to be cool with. Mike's tendency to go off the rails is also something that he is well aware of and acknowledges.

Still you don't get off the hook by saying, 'I will try not to be an ass but it's hard'......ok thanks for the warning. If you then ARE an ass then expect people to talk about it. Fair is fair here. You got to act like a jerk and people get to say something about it.

On the other hand if you don't act like a jerk then you will be well pleased to see people mentioning how nice and pleasant you are.

Yin/Yang.

Balance.

Things don't just happen. Behavior does not exist in a vacuum. This is a lesson jerks everywhere have to learn. I certainly learned it the hard way.

There is also taking the high road.What
somebody might say about themselves doesn't make it open
season for everyone else.
What I find funny though is Pangit gets bombarded because of his
comment made to a girl and people thinking he's a woman hater.
A double standard is very clear in his situation.
Yin and Yang may exist but she is clearly not judge nor jury.Its true
what one Az member said,that she'd going to do this to the wrong
person.
I give Mike all the props in the world for letting this go,and not
take this in another direction where the next Blog may not be so amusing.
 
Hi5

I want to give a high 5 first of all to JCIN, for obvious reasons, like supporting pool. I want to give a high 5 to Melissa, for, the same, I have been reading her for years, I wish to be at her level, having lunch with Alex. Really, this thread aside, I got to love JCIN, for the love he has given to pool. Melissa, really the same, I have been wanting to see, or hear, more of her, for years.

Well I can see that clearly this is really touching a nerve with some people. I can certainly understand that everyone sees and reacts to things differently.

Such is life. Hope no one gets murdered over this. If OMGWTF does get killed by a rabid Mike D. fan then I hope she has an equally talented writer doing her obit-chuary. ;-)
 
I just downloaded it too, didn't even know about it! Thanks, just got my smartphone a couple of weeks ago.

Using tapatalk, when you post there is a little icon that looks like two mountains and a sun to the right of the camera icon. Touch the mountain/sun icon and it takes you directly to your camera roll.

Wala. You can quickly post a pic on here.

Not so fast my fair minded friend!

Yes I am absolutely serious. You are going in for no apparent reason. Why are you even stressing yourself with this? What or who exactly do you think you are standing up for?

Only one on a witch hunt is you pookie. Mike does have a big old chrome dome, why not blog about it?

If Mike loaded her gun with ammo it's only right she fires a couple shots. That blog was love taps too, she didn't go near as hard as she could have.

Lastly, there's a reason that you have issues with others and a hard time getting along. There's a reason the vast majority of us really like Melinda aka OMGWTF. You'll figure that out the moment you stop trying to.

I don't agree with your argument... There's also a reason bullys have a following... There's a reason long lines build up behind a "train wreck"... It's a lot easier to make fun of people that you don't like using personal features and personal traits vs. actually addressing the reasons that you don't like them.

Making fun of Mike, despite his self professed bad behavior, is not excusable just because he behaves badly in a TAR match.

OMG uses her blog to exact revenge on those that she feels have negatively impacted her existence. Not cool and clearly not a fair fight. When you have a gift, and clearly she does, use your powers for good. Preying on the weak (in one capacity or another) because they wronged you is still inexcuable. Do we slap the begeezies out of indefensible old men when they get snippy with us youth? I think not. Do we swat flies with sledge hammers? Do we bring our dads to school to beat up the school yard bully? Do we laugh at the disabled?

Dont' get me wrong here. Mike acted like a spoiled child on more than one occassion, but that's not what this is about. He provided plenty of material without the need to address his insecurities and his physical appearance. It doesn't take much to get this crowd riled up and ready to pounce once the "posse" deem the guy is fair game. This is a hit piece, and while, again, I don't condone Mike's actions during the TAR event, or other events, or in interviews, etc..., this was not necessary and it cheapens OMG's brand, imo. Making fun of Earl or Johnny Archer's lint picking falls into the same category. It's not cool to do it on such a large scale.

IMO, Dorabelle has it right in every one of her posts on the subject. Contray to Lady Belle, however, I will, continue to fork over the $$ for the streams (TAR and others) even though the proprietor of this event supports the hatchet job of one of his better enablers.
