Your old mate’s comments last issue about the rampant anti-Ruataniwha dam stance of blogger Cameron ‘Whaleoil’ Slater had the overly sensitive ‘major player in political views and news’ stir up his cesspool of sycophantic acolytes to cry like babies on his behalf.
It appears the self-proclaimed ‘fearless’ Whale – fond of name-calling and hurling vitriolic abuse at others – can’t handle the jandal when it comes to himself. Meanwhile, a tiny handful of his supposed ‘millions’ of keyboard warriors took time out from their weird, creepy adulation of Slater’s sweaty rantings to go into bat for him with classy retorts like: ‘socialist’, ‘lefty’ or the extremely classy ‘You should close your paper before you start kiddy fiddling as well’.
Meanwhile, it appears some readers of Slaters blog were upset at being labelled ‘nutjobs’ and ‘loosers’ (sic). Perhaps not all the blog’s readers are nutjobs or losers. However, many appear to be not only mentally unsound, but illiterate and ill-tempered as well.
