Holy cow. I read her post last night and never thought it could cause a contoversy.

Soul-Fusion said...

that is CRAZY! I often wonder if people are just trolling through blogs with their little agenda waiting to pounce. Nutty.

Dawn said...

That is the funniest thing. I'd never even heard of that language. That poor lady who posted that- I bet she never could have imagined that kind of response.

Barb said...

Oh my gosh, Beck. My favorite comment back-and-forth over there is mankso's.

For heaven's sake. Kids are starving all over the world. Get serious, about something serious, people.

This was very entertaining. Made my evening, actually.

Kelley said...

WOW! What a stupid thing for so many people to get so stupidly passionate about. I guess everyone needs a cause...I choose hunger

Kyla said...

Hahahahahaha. You learn something new every day. Today I learned that there is a made up language called Esperanto and the Esperantists are QUITE passionate. Wow.

Kathryn said...

HAHAHA!!!! That is just about the craziest thing I have ever read! It was soooo entertaining. I had to read them all. Just nuts!!
Thanks for the link, Beck!

Can you even believe what is going on in those comments? I would never in a million Veronica-posts have thought that THIS would be the controversial one.

Veronica Mitchell said...

I just got a call from my sister. She and my brother-in-law read through every comment and laughed and laughed. She called it "real family entertainment."

They especially enjoyed the part where the guy calls me "monolingually myopic."

crazymumma said...

wow, people really got their knickers in a twist about a bit of tongue in cheek.

Chrissy said...

I read that post last night and just chuckled and moved on with my life. I can't believe people got really upset about it. Good entertainment for the rest of us, though.

Rose Daughter said...

Umm yeah, people defending Esperanto, ok. Get a life folks.

Saly said...

Seriously? This is what riles people up these days?

Sheesh!!


Unrelated, I just wanted to say Happy Easter! I hope you and your family have a blessed day, even without Webkins.

Shalee said...

I went over and gave them a piece of my mind too... but I'm sure according to them that I don't have any to spare.

Oh the joys of nutcases!

Patois said...

I was just amazed that there weren't more comments written in Esperanto.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sending me her way. I've not had a good laugh in so many weeks. (Well, when not reading your blog, that is.)

Cristan said...

That = tio, tiu
was = estis
very = tre
funny = komika

So much knowledge on the internet! : ) hahaha!

bren j. said...

Is it just me or was it 'Don't You Dare Pick on Esperanto Because We're All Out Here Waiting to Pounce on You' Day?
Good grief! I've never heard of such a language. That IS funny though...thanks for linking.

Lisa Milton said...

It's a special scary place...

Bon said...

see, i got nervous for a minute, as i commented on that post. then i realized i hadn't read the other comments. who knew Esperantans could be so...um...fierce?

Heather said...

Wow, that's crazy.

Mary-LUE said...

That post and the following one have had me in stitches today. Thanks for pointing the way, and you're right, the internet is a special, special place!

Lisa b said...

Wow. I totally would have bet on the scientologists. Who knew the Esperantists were so organised.

Karen MEG said...

Thanks for the link Beck! That was better than watchng UFC ... more blood!

Karla said...

Wow.
I mean...
Oh, my word. Although it isn't in whatever language that is they're talking about. ;)
And I *love* how you were addressed in comments after you posted your comment. Too good!
