Well, this is a hater blog if I’ve ever seen one. The entire site is dedicated to what people hate. From phone companies to preps – you submit, they distribute.
I suppose if you’re in a warped state of being where you enjoy the angst inside of you and desire to feed the anger with more misery, go read it. Not exactly the way I like to spend my free time, but whatever. Not saying I’m a ton better as I carefully expose angry bloggers that I just kind of think are over-the-top and should be embarrassed with themselves. I’ll never fully understand why people sit at their computers and type away on a heated blog post for the world to read– especially when they may end up retracting their comments or perhaps dwelling in the murky pit of dejected anger they’re digging.
So, yeah, if your looking to make your bad day worse and feed the seed of anger that leads nowhere good, read the hater blog. If not, then maybe it’s time to brush something off from time to time and just move on.

I was perusing Topix as I often do and came across a thread that one reader refers to as “A Bar Room Brawl”. When asked to take it outside, one of the brawlers made reference to his blog. In short, that was my introduction to The Angry Tulsa Blogger.
I’m still a bit confused by the Topix thread and the actual blog itself but my deduction is that Angry In Tulsa is some sort of business consultant that had a friend get burned by another company in the same business. As a self-proclaimed writer, he is out to save other people like his friend and show off his tax returns in the process! However, in the Topix thread it is pointed out that he was wrung up on SLANDER and ASSAULT for his anger. Hello, how can I not take an interest in this blogger?
A quick read through the blog left me dazed. Here are my questions:
If this business owner is a friend and you are in the same business as the scammers, why didn’t the business owner go with you? Are you a scam too since you are in the same business as the scammers? Do you have another angry post about the “friend” who screwed you over? Ha!
Where are the facts? I see bulleted opinions but no facts. The best way to justify anger on the Internet is with that little hyperlink button in your blogging software that would allow you to link to something that actually has some meat to it.
You name the names of people and companies and specifically in the comments section solicit dirt from other commenters? That’s fine but you never mention as to what these people and companies have done to you? Did you get scammed or just your friend? Is the situation really a scam or something you just don’t like? Are the accused scammers really just competition and you are crying foul to the world?
Have you considered other forms of marketing? Perhaps hand out tie-die business t-shirts with peace symbols on the sleeve at an industry event?
Are you going to put me on one of those threads for featuring you on The Angry Blogger?
In the end, Angry in Tulsa would be a classic charged blogger (namin’ names); however, he lacks one thing—an audience! I had to put my glasses on to get the number of commas straight in those Alexa scores. Tulsa, you just got this week’s Taz Award!
This Angry African is an intelligent activist that in his words:
This blog is about me being pissed off from an African perspective. And having a laugh at the world and the funny people living on this small floating rock.
A little bit about him:
I was born in Africa, South Africa. I lived there and worked there for most of my life. I have been an African development worker, an Oxfam campaigner, an African UN activist, a South African trade unionist, a South African WTO trade negotiator, a businessman running my own businesses in southern Africa, a founder of non-profits and campaigns to bring Africa to the forefront of action, and a developmental economist working on the role of business in Africa.
And he’s got something to say (a lot of things) and he says them very well. The thing I like about this blog is that he is an activist, he’s a bit angry, but he’s not ‘flipping off the world’. Instead he is pressing forward, motivating people, posting his opinion and taking a stand. This is an intelligent response to justified anger. Kudos.
This is an angry blogger worth following, I certainly will.

Crooks and Liars pretty much sums up the premise of this mainly political blog. The premise is negative in nature and its efforts are to bring to light political misalignments that the Crooks and Liars moderators choose to expose.
When the moderators see or hear something they don’t agree with, for one reason or another, they post it. It’s usually not heated in nature but is instead written in “news” form to keep people informed.
This an angry blog with substance and information.That’s refreshing

The Last Angry Young Man has a lot to say on a lot of different topics. He pulls together his thoughts and posts on anything from copyright issues on MySpace to customer service letters and write-ups on his experiences. It would seem that through looking at his blog, you can quickly see that he figures someone should say something, so why not let it be him.
The blog isn’t terribly up to date, but I’m going to be honest with you, my first impressions almost made me right the wrong post. I hated this blog the minute I saw the logo of some cartoon character flipping everyone off. I was ready to click away- right away. But then I made myself read further and the whole premise of the blog is the fight against indifference. George Bernard Shaw referenced this issue well when he said:
“The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that’s the essence of inhumanity.”
The last angry young man is just tired of people not saying anything and not doing anything, and so he does. His approach may hurt his credibility for many audiences, as often times the activist voice works best when it doesn’t start by flipping off the world… but rather rallying the few and the passionate, motivating them and encouraging them to make positive change.
This guys’ passion for justice is awesome. And the projects he is getting people to help with is a step further than most angry bloggers ever get to. I am just wondering how much more he could get accomplished if he’d knock the chip off his shoulder in his approach. Because when you write with a chip like that, you’re going to lose a lot of people that would have otherwise jumped on your team to fight with you.

Does Anyone Read This Blog: It’s hard to say, Alexa is having trouble pulling up this .ca site. So yeah, no good information there. That’s annoying. Is the Anger Justified: Like most angry blogs sometimes it’s justified and sometimes it’s just ranting. Anything Else Interesting: He has a page devoted to putting the anger to action and provides projects and items for the readers to be active in. That’s impressive.
If “My Left Wing” is as far left as they can go, this guy is definitely on the far right, although part of me wonders if there is actually a category for where this guy lands politically. The angry white dude is not afraid to offend people on multiple levels and say what he thinks, no matter the repercussions, after all, it’s his right.
His tagline:
In defense of the most ridiculed and unappreciated being on the planet…THE WHITE MALE…
This is a blog that is bound to push your buttons no matter your political stance. He’s not afraid to make fun of other belief systems and his blog is entirely politically incorrect. You may leave offended or you may leave sensing a hint of truth in some of his posts, it just depends.
Sometimes my complete opinions are probably best left unstated… after all, I’m not quite as angry.

Does Anyone Read This Blog: Yes. With a 242,907 Alexa rating, it’s not too bad. Is the Anger Justified: Yes. We all have the right to an opinion. Anything Else Interesting: His tagline – “In defense of the most ridiculed and unappreciated being on the planet…THE WHITE MALE”
I almost refrained from even posting this one, simply because the height of anger and overuse of expletives, brings me to wonder if I even want to direct you to this blog. However, the Washington Post did a story on this blogger, so I figured I’d post it on here. In the words of another, this left wing blogger took a drive up Liberal road and took a sharp left.
Beware: This site has portions that are riddled with expletives. And, if you tend to sway away from those on the far left, beware, because it’ll probably make you angry.
As for me: Sometimes my opinions are probably best left unstated… after all, I’m not quite as angry.

Does Anyone Read This Blog: A lot. Apparently angry people listen to angry people. Her Alexa score is 188,438. Is the Anger Justified: To the degree she unleashes? I’m not sure if it’s justified or if perhaps she should be on meds. Anything Else Interesting: Nope.
A self-proclaimed angry blogger, the Angry Black Woman has an opinion on just about everything. Her posts will tout her opinion with rapid fire with a few expletives here and there, where she deems appropriate. In general, it’s pretty clear that the heart behind the angry posts hold the value that people in general should be given a chance and with that, she challenges the voices and actions of racism and sexism. When she sees something that violates her values, she’ll have something to say about it.
Beware: The use of expletives come often in posts that she’s more passionate about.

This patriot is indeed an everyday American (or so he says) who has had enough (or so he says). If I were guessing, I’d say this PO’ed Patriot most likely drives a large SUV, packs a weapon in his nightstand, and a second in the glove compartment of that gas-guzzling SUV. It is a well-written blog for the most part, providing organized thought to the point he is driving.
He says,
I started this Blog because like many of you I feel the Government is out of control. I feel the People of this great country are not paying any attention and are asleep at the wheel. This Blog is full of my thoughts backed up by many, many hours of research on the web. I will not do the work for you. Don’t take my word for it. Find the facts to back me up or discredit me. Either way rely on yourself to form an opinion. Don’t be a Sheep. Lead, Follow or get out of the way!
Now if you take a look below you’ll notice, no one is really reading this blog of our P/O’ed Patriot. It’s time to get some readership, cowboy, and let your voice be heard. Until then… You’ve landed yourself in the Tasmanian Devil category.
