Simon says…
…and the blind folk follows without second-guessing his actions.
Gossip Boy: what’s the deal with everyone liking simon?
Lucas: what’s to get? simon is a nice guy.
Gossip Boy: I see we don’t agree on quite a few things
Gossip Boy: his unacceptable behaviour towards that nutjob in public seems not to have any affect on you
Lucas: that’s because i agree with him. and judging by the notes on the post, lots of others do too.
Gossip Boy: so you’d also react as dismissive, disdainful and petronising towards Patrick just because of his lack of education? Don’t you think this is a disgusting display of one’s superiority?
Gossip Boy: that was the line in his blog that pissed me off most
Lucas: it’s not because of a lack of education, it’s a lack of social restraint. sure, the dig about being a high-school dropout was harsh, but the truth is that his actions really do get on peoples nerves
Gossip Boy: the dig about being a high-school dropout just showed that this asshole of a snobbish prick has no points after all. he could have expressed his feelings in a more moderate way without humiliating Patrick. You know I’m not a big fan of his. I also called him names on my blog. But I never went that far. yet people LOVE simon the great and HATE the evil gossip boy.
Lucas: there’s a difference
Gossip Boy: I actually don’t care. I’m just saying.
Lucas: simon has the trust of the community
Lucas: you are an anonymous face, taking a dig at patrick
Lucas: you could argue that simon has the right, because he is involved in the community, and however involved you may be in your other persona, you’re still faceless
Gossip Boy: what’s kind of disturbing is that my dig at Patrick is not the reason people hate me for
Lucas: … shouldn’t you know by now that people agree with it?
Gossip Boy: I plan to show my face at the gathering
Gossip Boy: I have to do things first
Gossip Boy: I’m gonna hold up a mirror to everyone involved until then. they should start thinking before they act
Lucas: show your face? so everyone will know who you are?
Gossip Boy: exactly
Lucas: ok
Gossip Boy: what? are you surprised?
Lucas: no, just interested as to what the reaction will be
Gossip Boy: they don’t hate or love me enough yet though
Gossip Boy: can I use parts of this conversation on my blog?
Lucas: yeah, why not?
Lucas: go ahead
Gossip Boy: thanks

yay gossip boy mentioned me on his blog. thank you gossip boy.
EDIT by GB: I actually doubt this is the real Simon. but wth, I won’t delete any comments.

I do know now that this wasn’t Simon. So, yeah. basicly it’s not Simon. Please guys, use an anon if you must, but don’t fake shit.

I for one love Patrick to death.
In saying that, I also love Simon heaps!
However I don’t agree with the Tumblr post at all, its horrific and unfair.
It seems like this community picks and choose who it wants to gang up on and tear apart, unfortunately at the moment it happens to be people such as myself and Patrick.
Just re-iterating, I don’t have ANY beef with Simon, I just don’t agree with his post.

Simon has infinitely more right to say anything than you do because you choose to remain anonymous.
Please get off your high horse and remain neutral, otherwise take off your mask before you start to take sides.
June 12, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I actually do give a shit about your opinion. For some reason I value it. But I have to disagre with you on this one.
It makes no difference if I’m a face or I’m letters on a screen. I’m human and as one I should behave humane. Simon has NO RIGHT to publicly bash anyone, be it Patrick, another person or a chipmunk.
I’m not on a high horse. What makes you think that?
And I’m not taking anyone’s side. I’m taking a stand.

OMFG Is this really NZYT? No offense ppl but when did NZ turn into a bunch of whiny bitches? Thats not the NZ i know and love. Can’t we all just get along?
June 12, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Actually I’d like to apologise for an untruth on my last post.
Offense is meant.
FFS would someone got to the shop and get NZYT a can of “Harden The Fuck Up”.
What even happened to “proud to be a kiwi”?
Yous are fucken embarressing us

ooh Simon. I’m hurt. Someday I’m gonna tell my grandchildren about this moment. Simon, the WISDOM in person. The angel of all angels. The innocence of innocencia is DONE WITH ME PROFESSIONALLY. No self-reflection on your part at all. way to grow.
