I moderate the comments I get on this blog and I do it for a reason. Some people are too stupid to breathe let alone post intelligent comments so I choose not to waste your time with publishing them.
However yesterday, I got a comment from someone calling himself Peter Pocklington and it made me go, "WTF?"
First, why would the Puckster bother himself with reading my blog, and second, the comments he made seemed a teensy bit scathing in regards to my Cromdale post.
Unedited (but not published to the blog) I give you old Peter's comments:
The Cromdale, back in the day, 1980's and 1990's was a great place to get drunk for cheap, see drug addicted crack strippers, and to pick up sleazy native and white chicks. But now it is an eyesore that for some reason the owners want to try and trick the City into purchasing just to get rid of it.It looks like the Cromdale may not be torn down anytime soon(see below for March 2, 2010 article). http://www.cbc.ca/canada/edmonton/story/2010/03/02/edmonton-cromdale-hotel-demolition-lawyer.html?ref=rss
This place is even world infamous for being a cesspool of scum and villainy: http://wikimapia.org/7227/Cromdale-Hotel
I am wondering why the original author of Mom Magazine who wrote the article "Edmonton's Notorious Cromdale slated for demolition" does not write another article on the Cromdale. Does she still want the Cromdale torn down or does she want the Cromdale to stay? Also has she ever partied in the Cromdale?

OK, "Peter", you sound more like Peter Griffin than Peter Pocklington with the comment "sleazy native and white chicks."
Second, that post was a snapshot of my childhood, nothing else. The Cromdale is nothing more to me than a tangible memory of a truly fucked up childhood and when I heard about the demolition, it forced me to recall certain memories I had stuffed away in the darkest parts of my soul.
If the city of Edmonton chooses to leave that structure, they are hindering any progress that area has of erasing what is wrong with that community; drugs, hookers, pimps, and petty criminals.
Lastly, asking me a dumb question like "have I ever partied at the Cromdale" shows just how truly ignorant you are. If you had READ that post, you would see that I had a drink on my 18th birthday with my mom at the Cromdale. One drink. It was a "bonding moment" because I desperately wanted to connect with her on some level. It didn't work.
Honey, I've always been too good to associate with the likes of the scum who hung out at the Cromdale, my own family included. My arrogance, confidence, intelligence and plain sense of right and wrong got me where I am today which is as FAR away from the Cromdale as possible.
Do I want to see it go? Absolutely.
Do I moderate my blog because of dumbass comments like those?
Without a doubt.
Edmonton will be better off when the Cromdale is nothing more than a bad memory.
This is truly comical. Arent you supposed to be in jail or something like that Peter? If you are the real deal I suggest you take some lessons in writing. Otherwise though, thanks for being so bored to enable someone like me to get an awesome laugh in with Tamaras blog. The editor of Mom Magazine truly knows how to take the gloves off, you dont stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't speak about your past associates with such contempt, you were created from the the loins of that environment.
ReplyDeleteDear anonymous, grow some balls and leave your name. And, FYI, this is MY blog and the people I knew were, for the most part, a bunch of losers. You weren't there, you don't know.
