Great reply . . . why would someone say such a thing?

Anyway as long as you keep writing a great site they will be the ones looking like a Douche!

hahaha internet people are pretty hilarious. Just rocking up to call one someone a douche. Brilliant.

If it makes you feel any better Andy, I’ve been calling you a douche for ages, so hopefully this not exactly news. I also use hair products though so I guess my opinion is sort of worthless.

Great article on T-shirt day, looks like quite a big event. I guess this is an annual event now, a shame we couldn’t have one in the UK.

And I’d ignore people who insult you over the internet, not the smartest thing to do really.

Kiko, you’re perfectly entitled to your opinion, that’s why I’m leaving your comment up even though I’m offended by it (I never take down comments), but when I decide to stop reading a website I just stop visiting it or unsubscribe from the RSS feed, I don’t feel the need to leave a public comment or insult the author because of the way they look. If I really cared about the direction that a website was taking I’d send the author an e-mail or use their contact form.

Oh, and I don’t use gel, I use fibre putty because it gives a re-workable hold and has much less shine. Like I said, you’re entitled to your opinion, but HYA, and the way I dress (which it’s fair to presume takes a lot less effort than a lot of ‘cool garage rock’ guys), will not be changing because someone I’ve never heard of on the internet decided I look like a douche.

I used to frequent this blog and have since steered away. I never really knew why. But I do now. It is because I thought that the person who wrote was a cool garage rock kind of guy. But after seeing some pics of you I now see you are a douche. With your gelled hair and what-not. I don’t know why I left this comment. I guess all comments are accepted, no?

Unfortunately not Kevin, since I don’t think that Adam, Jana, and the other Spreadshirt people that saw me in my T-Shirt Day contest video really count. Still, having been shouted at in the street by a reader once and another person in a shop going “hey, I’ve seen your site” when I handed them my card is a pretty good record for a blog of HYAs size.
