Lance Winslow deigns to visit our little corner and illuminate it with the greatness that is Lance Winslow
A bit before 9:ooPM yesterday, I
posted an entry regarding a Mr. Lance Winslow.
I had run into a reference to him over at
Ace of Spades and was so totally bemused by this moke's over the top self-inflation that I thought it was worth sharing.
Shortly after Midnight, this comment was posted to that article:
You know what is completely amazing? It's that you have clearly misrepresented what I am all about. In fact, taking 4-sentences out of a 300 word article, that was most likely written sometime in 2007, and is one of 13,000 online articles as an example is really stretching it. Indeed, you have an axe to grind, not sure what it is Dave H. or even who on Earth you are to judge me, but have fun, and how many hits do you think you get on your blog anyway? Nice Cheap Shot, proud of yourself?
OK - sentence by sentence:
You know what is completely amazing?
I don't know Lance. Your self-absorption? Inflated sense of worth? Misleading promotions?
It's that you have clearly misrepresented what I am all about.
I did not change anything you wrote. This is my blog and the opinions are all mine. For me to mis-represent, I would have to be quoting you out of context.

I quoted the article in its entirety. It was written on April 1, 2008 at 8:30 pm and you can view it here:

Ahhh -- dragging out the
argumentum ad hominem are you?
I do not have an axe to grind. The reason I made this post is that reading through your website, I was struck by how over the top you are in your sense of self-worth. Humility is a virtue and those people who continually trumpet their virtues find themselves not being taken seriously. I do not take you seriously. I put you right up there with
Aleksey Vayner or any of the other Internet Poseurs.
As for the "
how many hits do you think you get on your blog anyway" comment. I don't give a shit. I ran a computer bulletin board for ten years and now I have been blogging since 2003. I did have a hit tracker and was doing well but removed it as I simply do not care how many hits I get. I am doing this for fun -- because I like it.
Nice Cheap Shot, proud of yourself?
Pride never entered into the equation. As I said earlier, humility is the way to go. As for Cheap Shot, all I did was quote your writings.
Enjoy your life Lance...
