I’ve been called snarky.
Ignorant.
Childish and immature.
Or in the immortal words of one badly failing local builder who resembles a sentient oil slick, I’m “a sick human being, a punk, and an asshole.”
So, I got that going for me, which is nice.
Coupeville Sports hits its 10th birthday this coming Monday, Aug. 15, and this is the 9,381st article I’ve published.
Apparently, not all of them have been universally beloved…
Now, overall, my stats trend towards the positive. Otherwise, I likely wouldn’t still be doing this gig.
But, over the years, I have torqued off a few folks, especially those whose addresses fall inside the King’s, ATM, Klahowya, and South Whidbey school districts.
Sometimes, I knew it would happen. Other times I was genuinely surprised.
But getting paddled in the comments section (hopefully) keeps me on my toes, checking to see if the aggrieved have a point, or if they’re just lil’ crybabies hiding behind fake names.
Sometimes it’s the former, a lot of times it’s the latter.
Or at least that’s my story … and I’m sticking to it for today at least.
In honor of the last decade, I fished back through the comments section to collect some of the best angina thrown my way.
Enjoy!
10 — Before posting this, you should make sure your facts are straight. It is sickening how a reporter would report this way not only on this game but other games this season very unprofessional.
9 — This article is not just “snarky” it is a piece written out of ignorance. What you call snarky has provided a snapshot of who you are and how you think.
8 — The ignorant have never spoken so confidently and so erroneously. Your career has obviously reached its zenith in Coupeville. Like those sour grapes?
7 — Who cares?????
6 — I understand you are upset about losing the game but at least have some class, you don’t post the refs names that is completely childish and immature.
5 — Those who can do, those who can’t blog. I guess that’s why we south enders, do.
4 — This blog has gone too far. What you post isn’t even funny.
3 — I am horrified that this article could be written this way. You make it seem as if the Coupeville team was some great team!
2 — Poopville sucks!! South Whidbey will shit-whip you.
1 — You guys are weak as hell. Grow up you children.
Thank you for the fun and funny coverage of our islands kids. Even those not at the top of their game get mentioned. Our kids feel important and secure knowing the community is looking out for them.. Happy 10th anniversary.
