Reader Requests I Remove Article Where I Call My Tenant A Bitch
This article was written on 28 Sep 2009
The other day I received a laughable email from a disgruntled reader called Sophie. I don’t usually humour myself on other people’s misery, but this unreasonable woman was being ridiculous, consequently my angelic laughter was my retort for her. She requested for me to remove one of my articles because it personally offended her. If I removed every article that offended someone, this website would be an empty shell. Sad, but true.
In the past, I’ve had two people requesting the banishment of particular articles. Actually, wasn’t so much of a request, it was more of a, “remove the articles or we’ll take you to court” deal. They claimed the shit I was saying was libel and affecting their business. While I don’t agree with their claims, I understood WHY they wanted me to remove the particular articles. Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand the request in question today…
The Bitch (My Tenant) Finally Paid Her Rent
Please remove this article from your website. It shows a terrible relationship between a landlord and a tenant. I’m really offended that a property website can let a landlord call his tenant “The Bitch”
Just to clarify, my ex-tenant IS a bitch. The article was meant to show a terrible relationship between a landlord and tenant because that’s exactly what it was, a terrible f’ing situation. I’m glad I got my point across. I hope my ex-tenant is curled up in a dark alley somewhere, with a needle sticking out of her arse, and an oversized dildo exploding out of her nostrils.
She did the following:
- Didn’t pay rent for 2 months
- Received Housing Benefits (which was meant to pay her rent)
- Ignored my phone calls
- Intentionally wanted me to evict her so she could get a council house ASAP
- Constantly lied
- Constantly made excuses
Now, if that doesn’t justify me calling my tenant a bitch, I don’t know what does. There are decent, unfortunate people out there that deserve benefits, and she’s not doing any of those people any favours at all. She’s the type of person that makes it extremely difficult for decent DSS tenants to get housing.
I’m not convinced Sophie actually read the article, or the related articles, but if she did… she’s a cock for telling me to remove it. I still feel inclined to believe that she only read the “title” of the article. And unless she’s done any of the shit I listed, she shouldn’t take it upon herself to feel offended because it wasn’t a generalised attack against tenants, it was a very targeted and very specific attack, hence why the title of the article says, “My Tenant”- the article isn’t representing all tenant/landlord relationships. I’m surprised I even have to spoon-feed people this kind of shit, because not only is it self-implied that this is my blog and I document MY experiences with my tenants, but it’s also clear in black and white.
So if Sophie, or any other reader wants to carry the burden of feeling offended by that article, that’s your own psychological problem. It’s clear that even if I removed that article, the root of the problem would still exist…
