Alley's Cat Fight - NBC Chicago
25 January 2010, 9:43 pm

Chicago guy Jeff Ramone admits that he often uses Twitter to poke fun at celebrities, and he concedes that his first tweets to actress Kirstie Alley were "snarky" -- but the blogger says he was caught off-guard when she took notice and accosted him online.

Ramone -- The Ungay Guy, according to his Web site -- took on the "Fat Actress" after she tweeted about the Church of Scientology sending doctors and nurses to Haiti:

    "Will they be bringing vitamins & E-meters?  RT @kirstiealley More Dr.s and Nurses being flown in today by Scientology church.this is GREAT NEWS"

    "I hear vitamins & E-meters cure everything. Probably a lot of negative energy that caused all the suffering in Haiti. Or an earthquake"

A third tweet seemed to really get Alley's attention.  She replied:

    "how do you know what my views on ANYTHING are? you don’t know me. You’ve never met me or asked me a question."

    "I am opposed to the drugging of children with dangerous drugs.THATS what I’m opposed to and THATS why i rally.Like it or not

Ramone pressed her a bit more about her Scientology beliefs before Alley unleashed a tweet akin to Gladys Leeman spouting off to the fine folk of beautiful Mount Rose, Minnesota:

    "WOW, you are one BITTER F…go away..play with people like yourself..cynics and well D***S…"

Ramone posted an open letter to Alley after she ultimately blocked him on the service.  He said he wasn't taken aback by the exchange, but was instead surprised that someone of her celebrity wouldn't have learned "to just shrug off smart-a** comments from the peanut gallery."

Perhaps Alley saw the open letter.  She was back tweeting to him Monday night:

      "HEY...why the d**kdom? thought you were not a d***...am I wrong?"

Kirstie Alley's typical tweets tend to be ungrammatical, foul-mouthed, poorly punctuated, misspelled, and snarky themselves, so the outrage about a bit of snark or the mild challenge to her cult-boosting assertions is ridiculous. She is the least introspective, intelligent or interesting celebrity that I have seen so far participating in the Twitterverse.

Whereas it may get tedious having to defend her moonbat cult all the time, true, I note that most people simply do not rise to the bait as often as Alley does. For example, Christian bloggers / tweeters may not like anti-Christian comments or tweets, but they do not go DEFCON 2 each and every time someone drops a snarkbomb on their site.

Also, though I don't use Twitter, I would be surprised if there wasn't a way to keep your tweets private, restricted to only a few actual friends, or to block comments from non-friends before they are approved and viewable publicly. I may believe in free speech, but I never signed an agreement that I would gladly spend my free time policing my YouTube channel (for example), so I do screen moonbats and jerks and trolls instead of just letting comments post publicly before I check them for relevance and manners. :)

If Alley was not so desperate for attention--ANY attention--then maybe she would not keep flailing around in impotent butthurt rage each time her stupid comments get challenged, or each time someone twits (no pun intended) her about her crazy cult. She clearly enjoys, on some level, the amount of attention she gets or she would stop tweeting, set her tweets private, screen incoming comments, or stop being such a LOLcow all the time. As it is, she apparently sits around 24/7 glued to a web-enabled device that helps her tweet her every inane thought at any time of the day or night (when she isn't eating boxes of bonbons or listening to Elron tapes?) and getting all pissed and whiny and profane.

Her career might not be in the toilet if she used her free time more productively and stopped being such a tempting target for jibes and japes and Internet jokers. Might. Just a thought.

There is a way to keep your tweets private, though there's no way to police what other people tweet in response, any more than you could control what other people blog about just because they mention you.
