Miss Lu: You are now my new god, up there right next to SG, Darwin, and JRR Tolkien.

The quiz you took on Facebook is actually correct; you’re a jellyfish. And, it turns out, I’m a starfish! Fuck yeah!

A while back I wrote this silly little Internet quiz for the dating site OKCupid. Through no fault of my own, people kept taking it, and miraculously it is now the top-ranking quiz on the site, in terms of total number of people who’ve taken the quiz.

It’s basically my attempt at a humorous parody of the Myers-Brigg Personality Test, which I’ve called The Personality Defect Test.

And now you know what that crazy person “me” is raving about.

Epic rant, Miss Lu. I could not agree more.

I will SG speak for himself in reply to your multiple posts. However, speaking for myself. I also came across SG’s blog from the Personality Defect Test and have been reading ever since.

1) There are VERY clear statements at the beginning of the test telling people what they are getting into. At no point are people tricked into being abused (in fact the abuse starts before the test). I mean really, it’s titled “The Personality DEFECT Test”. How much more obvious does it have to be?

2) I am very sorry that your daughter is depressed, especially if she is depressed enough to be sent into a crying fit over an internet quiz. I recommend therapy. From your angry outburst, I would look at therapy for more than just your daughter.Your daughter took an online test seeking to be abused. It’s a cry for help.

3) I have heard SG make statements about alot of people, usually to point out who stupid making those statements is. As a former bulimic I have never been personally offended or had my weight issues triggered by his words. The result you cite above is supposed to show (if I read it correctly) the cruelty for abusing fat people. It does not advocate this abuse. IF the quiz is a good inducator of someones mental state (and that is a big if) and your daughter is depressed, it would inducate self-loathing issues. SG doesn’t hate fat people. Your daughter hates herself for being fat and believes she deserves to be punished.

4) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING LETTING YOUR UNDERAGE (assuming), DEPRESSED DAUGHTER HAVE AN OK CUPID ACCOUNT!?!?!?!?!!?!
Do you seriously not know what the internet is? OkCupid is a social networking/dating site. There are people on the other end of the world that have no obligation to care for your kid. Most of them have no evil intent but if your daughter is so fragile that one stupid internet quiz sent her over the edge, SHE SHOULD NOT BE ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!
Do you not read about the kids that kill themselves about online relationships? If she is that depressed, get her therapy! Internet “friends” are not actually your friend. Internet quizes are not a professional diagnosis of something. Last week a quiz on Facebook said I was a jellyfish. Seriously, a freaking jellyfish. If your daughter cannot easily seperate the internet form reality she needs help. Which mean you need to be her parent. Do your job as a parent, and don’t yell at strangers if you fail. SG didn’t birth your kid. She is not his responsibilty.

5) I hear SG’s opinions on faith, science, critical thinking and society. In fact, I wish he would post more often. That’s why I read his blog. That’s why all of us read his blog. If you don’t want to know what he thinks, you don’t have to be here.

Just another question: Where is your brain located and how big is it?

You should have some responsibility for your actions and sensitivity towards other people’s feelings. You hurt my daughter, you pitiful wanna-be-funny, wanna-be-smart APE!
