Alternative description (from a secret admirer):
Fisher Lovelake Hey Chalk you used to write for this blog. Why are you being a worthless piece of shit for writing this when he gave you all those chances to write? You suck and I will never read a thing you write again. You don't know me but I met you once and you are a fucking snooty asshole. Fuck off you piece of shit
