I chose to talk about Travis in my post because he was the one with the interesting thumbs down comment that was relavent to the posts / SU articles at the time. Given a more thorough analysis of all SU folks with interesting things to say, a may very well have chosen to write about a woman. I did talk about TheNanny612 in this post, as well as Aivsdog in a <a href="http://nowsourcing.com/blog/2007/10/02/how-do-you-become-a-stumbleupon-power-user-ask-a-16-year-old/"b title="Interview with a top StumbleUpon user" rel="nofollow">previous post</a>, so I know what you mean. @dustoff: good points.

He picks on the unwitting innocents and flame-retardant. If you're looking for interestingly negative reviews try ___________ or the Funkified _____________. Your article could have been better if it wouldn't have invoked the lesser known troll-likes of TravisKab. Women. Look to the women. They are the creatives on Stumble. Whether flaming or stroking...they're better than that ass fag. TravisKab is a common attention whore and one of the more boring personalities according to Stumble standards.

Its all just an unoriginal show. The cloak of Internet anonymity (or whats left of it) somehow gives people the impression that just because they have the ability to flame, they are somehow entitled to it. Its the social equivalent of a person with a level 90 billion character saying "I pwn you n00b" to someone who really doesn't set aside 40 hours a day to get to that point. Granted, respect on digg or anything else is something to work for, and frankly, I don't give a flip about what you tell me to consume. Golden Grahams is on the menu.

With all these people and their fake "insert person here" comments these days, you want to be certain about these things. I'll leave you and Dan to fighting it out. I'm tired too. Enough already. @travis: just seeing if you were the real guy. With all these people and their fake “insert person here” comments these days, you want to be certain about these things.

I'd leave a lengthier comment, but since the entry only draws attention to my post without calling me out on anything (aside from my untouched spellchecker -- curses that my only grammatically incorrect post in weeks was featured in some meta-SU blog post), I don't really have anything to refute. Besides Dan. Eat shit, Dan, or something similar. I dunno, I'm tired, insult yourself for me. I’m pithier than you think.
