The real Samuel Gordon-Stewart

For most internet dwellers it all started with a comment on this post at The Spin Starts Here. Reader “Blah Blah” wrote:

Look up http://samuelgordonstewart.com. It’s the worst blog you’ll ever find.

From that moment, Samuel Gordon-Stewart’s highly unique, quiet and personal corner of the internet would never be quiet and personal again. As visits to his blog increased exponentially, so did attacks on his character from a number of websites and commenters. Some said he needed to “get laid” and “get a life.” The more vicious attacks accused him of being “retarded.” At the start of this internet bunfight Samuel gave as good as he got, publishing counter-attacks against his main antagonists, but recently he has been happy to sit back and let it all wash over him. In the insular world of the Australian blogosphere, Samuel has become somewhat of an internet phenomenon. But who is the real Samuel Gordon-Stewart, and why has he attracted so much negative attention? Read the full story

    This is easily the most fascinating interview I have read in a long time. What a top guy Samuel sounds to be, having come through a hard sounding school life to be so personable, frank and happy to be himself…certainly more than many of us can lay claim to at such a young age, if ever! School can be so horrible and kids little animals. Good on you Samuel for making it out into the open air of blogging!

    It’s hard not to like Sam. He’s got a bit of the John So thing happening.

    Good work team. A great interview. It seems that certain websites can’t leave him be. At least he is brave enough to reveal his name and face when he gives someone a serve. Best of luck Samuel. You are braver than the bullies at school and the ones that take shots at you via their blogs. Not to mention any names Caz.

    Not to mention any names Caz.

    Yeah, and you’re so “brave” using your real name, “Burnt Chops”.

    Caz is your real name Caroline?

    John Howard is your real name Alan?

    I agree with J, the. This is a great interview and Samuel sounds like a fascinating person who is beholden to nobody but himself.

    I was a little freaked though when you mentioned ‘2000′ and ‘year 7 coordinator’ in the same sentence. Must attempt to be more grown up like Samuel. Any time now.

    Good point Caz. If that is your real name. Yes Burnt Chops is not my real name. However, the thing is, I don’t seem to be bullying anyone. I do not wish to use this forum to point out your shortcomings, however, your excuses for remaining anonymous don’t cut it outside your blog.

    Face it, you bullied a kid who was terribly bullied at school for being different. Maybe you would have a different attitude if it happened to your child continually. Who knows what the future will bring.

    A crap song comes to mind. Something about cameleons and Boy George?

    Bless XXOO

    I heart Samuel. I’ve missed him, of late, but plan to spend a goodly amount of time in the next couple of weeks catching up on all his latest happenings.

    This guy sounds like my ideal catch.
    It will be hard to compete with a Jack Russel and a computer, but i think i could give him the best moment in his life.

    I think this guy sounds like a fucken stupid little shit who needs a root and a life.
    Stop screwing Nattie, and stop fist fucking your own ass.

    I think his blog would be enhanced if he banned John B1_B5 from his blog … oh, and Samuel, go stick your head up a turkey!
