New Moan... The Taylor Saga!

This is a comment that we received recently about the blog on Anton Taylors’ article. Thought I might share it and try to indicate just how silly some people can be...

hey doll, i read your "'retaliation' in words" before commenting on this frankly feeble blog post. I thought it would be cheap and mean to roast your written retort by arguing how it's an attack on Anton PERSONALLY whereas he is criticizing a general group, culture and mindset; honestly a cheap, immature, sour comeback to attack him personally (especially by perpetuating the problem you have with him- YOU don't know HIM: just as much as HE doesn't know stellenbosch students). that's an argument for another day and another blogpost though- this one is the one i was attacking, i don't need a link to the other (thanks for the help ;) ) and as before, this is still a shitty attack at him. profile pictures. honestly. if anyone is sour... it's gotta be you- the "anonymous" group who attack the man himself.


but, i mean, who am I to criticize, I "dont have the ability to read"


thanks for the entertainment

Ok Gossip Girl... lets begin at pointing out a ridiculous statement:

“attack on Anton PERSONALLY whereas he is criticizing a general group, culture and mindset”

I am so happy that you got the point babyshooz, as that is exactly what I intended on doing; instead of attacking UCT, (because I truly believe it to be an amazing university,) I did indeed attack Anton, because if I did attack UCT then, firstly: I would be lowering myself to Anton’s’ level.


Secondly: I would be generalizing and saying that all UCT students feel this way about Stellies, which they do not. I would never insult a university with such prestige. Anton generalised, he stereotyped us and he displayed discrimination. Of course I would only retaliate to him and no one else, he is the one to blame, not UCT... you not a very bright girl are you? Because.... attacking a culture or group of people is seriously more bias, morally wrong and discriminative than insulting one person.


The reason for putting the profile pictures up was that we thought we would give our readers some kind of indication of how Anton looks, as well as showing his contradicting nature where he calls us “the drunken vagrants of tertiary education.” – Why call us that when he himself is clearly a heavy drinker? His insults on Stellenbosch gave the impression that he is a saint, which he clearly is not. “These pitiful creatures” was also thrown at us- Puking and making it his profile picture is pretty pitiful, and if he is so proud of the pics, why is it such a problem?? I’m sensing a wee bit of embarrassment.


Anyways, “this shitty attack” is anything but sour, I was simply addressing his assertion and showing how utterly wrong it is, not only unsubstantiated, but prejudice and immoral. I was giving Stellenbosch a voice, not aimed at insulting any students form UCT but Anton himself. I’m actually really sorry you feel this way, because you are a UCT student, and this was not aimed at you, it has nothing to do with you at all, like I said, it was just a little response, giving my view on the subject.


In the same breath however, I feel that your comment was needed, so that I could make clear my intentions with the blog post. I do not condone UCT, but rather Anton Taylor- so unless you are him, I have no goal in mocking you what so ever, no matter what university you come from.
