Pensblog Should Rethink Use Of DC Sniper As "Humor"

It's never particulary [sic] fun when the Pens lose to the Washington Capitals. You have to deal with some Capitals fans acting like its a big deal. It makes you wish the D.C. Sniper would have got a couple of extra kills.

For those who don't know or don't remember, the DC Sniper shot and killed people with a high powered rife for no apparent reason. Human beings were targeted while filling their cars at gas stations. The entire Washington DC region was terrorized, including my parents and friends. People died at the horrific hand of a mentally ill maniac and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

To say that comment was in poor taste is an understatement. It isn't not funny, it isn't inventive, its not in any way amusing, and if I'm misreading it as humor and the remark was intended literally, the owners of pensblog's server should cancel their account.

It speaks quite poorly of the writers at pensblog that they wrote it, more poorly that they would publish it, and even more poorly that they've had no second thoughts and pulled it. Similarly, shame falls on pensblog's readers as nobody (as of 11:30am EST this morning) had chastised the author(s?) into taking it down or even justifying it.

Plainly put, this is the type of thing that people point to when commenting ill of blogs. The comment should be taken down and an apology put up in its place. Immediately.

What kind of cornhole leaves an insulting comment but doesn't have the decency to put his/her name to it?

You, sir or madam, are a dope.

Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.

The proper files were still web web. I thought it was strange, and even after changing the group as your instructions said, there was no change in how this displayed in both putty and filezilla. However, I tested uploading to my blog and it worked like a charm! I am not sure what is going on with the group thing, but somehow it must have worked. I’m curious as to what the deal is with that. In any case, Thank you so much!
