A Brief Rebuttal & Raucous Confessions
Rants Robin Marie Averbeck did us the favor of advertising our site in yesterday's Guardian despite the fact that we have been mostly silent for the past several weeks. Unfortunately, Robin did us all a disservice when she took a surplus of smarmy introspection and clumsily applied it to an entire burgeoning medium. To call you a "dedicated blogger," Robin, would be to equate a finger-painting kindergartener with Van Gogh. Although your vacuous, juvenile, oft-aborted blogs (examples one, two, and three) are brimming with the self-absorption you describe, you do not have the right nor experience to paint anyone else with the same brush. Please review the two entries directly preceding this one. By ignoring our earnest efforts to inform the student body of relevant, attention-deserving events, your commentary immediately loses all credibility and any hope of professionalism. (Although, in your defense, anyone still reading your columns at this point in the year must already anticipate as much.) Your column is so shallow and uninformed that as I compose this brief diatribe I fear re-reading it lest my mind erode with every passing word. Vitriol will always find a venue (visit any bathroom stall in Geisel), and blogs have never been limited to the emo or nerdy (the mere fact that these words find their way into your sputum-cum-analysis makes me cringe). Additionally, there are far richer wells of embittered exclamations for you to decry: the newly-formed LiveJournal community UCSanDiego began an entertaining and anarchistic confessions thread so successful that we received several email notices of its existence within 24 hours of its creation. Your ill-conceived, confused protest of YouCSD would be right at home there, Robin. Nom de Guerre, May 24 2005, 01:49 AMThe second example has already been stricken from the web, although the first and third aren't. Strange, that only on of them would be deleted. Leads me to wonder what was posted there. ![[TypeKey Profile Page]](http://www.youcsd.com/nav-commenters.gif) on May 24, 2005 02:57 PM
That confessions thread makes me want to wear rubber gloves while touching every surface on campus. Everything is coated in boogers, shit, and semen apparently. In other news, the students at UCSD are repressed as hell. on May 25, 2005 02:23 AM
How are we repressed? Don't you think our "repression" is self-imposed, or even willfully accepted? on May 31, 2005 09:19 AM
I believe Ms. Averbeck just became one of the "them" she talks about. She shouldn't have allowed her article to be online if she did not want the youth of today to further waste away their lives on the internet. She then cites teens waste their lives writing about how they are dyin' a lil' inside, when they should be lookin for a good joh, like thier parents did. Maybe there's something her ignorant mind didn't analyze...how does she know her parents didn't wanna spill their hearts out and take myspace mirror pictures? Maybe they did, but with the Internet unavailible at a time of computer punch cards, the option was not there. Every person wants a lil' attention now and then...what better way than with a private journal that can be publically seen? on June 2, 2005 09:20 PM
