@HankSchulman E-mailed Me!
AND HE UNBANNED ME!
I know you all have been on the edge of your seats following the “Schulman blocked me on Twitter” saga, well, it has come to an end.
I spent about four days asking everyone in the SF media about why Hank Schulman blocked me on Twitter.. After getting zero e-mails back I decided to hone my investigative journalism skills and tried e-mail him directly.
Not 30 minutes later I got a response!
I’ll spare the boring parts and give you the juicy details, he said:
Now that you’ve complained on the blogosphere, people think I can’t take criticism, which is bullshit.
Hank, first you say “people think I can’t take criticism”, and then one comma later you lash out and call it “bullshit”. So aren’t you not taking criticism while telling me that you actually can take criticism? “I CAN TAKE CRITICISM, DAMMIT!”
I would also like to thank you for thinking I have enough power to round up the entire Internet and turn them against you all by myself. Honestly, I just called my dad to let him know that THE Hank Schulman personally e-mailed me and blamed me for the Internet thinking he can’t take criticism… dammit.
Now Henry did explain WHY he blocked me, I guess he didn’t answer one of my questions so..
(I) started to bombard (him) with a stream of “why won’t you answer me” tweets.
I don’t recall doing this, but after consulting with the girlfriend she said it sounds a lot like me. I trust her, so for that, sorry Schulster I guess I understand you getting annoyed, but blocking my Twitter account? Thanks for at least responding though, I mean, at least you didn’t go all Dan Gilbert on me.
But seriously, is it that bad that someone cares so much about your insight that he keeps pestering you? Like Radnich says, I look at you guys (Baggs, Radnich, Schulster) as my “dad”. So look at me as your son just trying to grow with knowledge.
In summation he says,
I do my best to answer as many questions as my work allows. I can’t get to all of them. I’ll unban you. Please try to play nice.
Oh, but you have time to talk with ya’ boy F.P. about “I Love Lucy”?
No, FP. That’s the Ricky Ricardo ay yay yay yay yay.
And to send me a detailed e-mail about why you blocked some nerd from the Internetz?
Hank, thanks for unbanning me but I’m just so over it already. Listen, if you want to follow me I’ve unblocked you, but we’re finished.






Best part of this is when you admit you are a nerd from the internetz. Let the guy do his job. Good to see you are over it.
