Sour Grapes

This is what Wikipedia says:

Sour grapes
is an expression originating from the Aesop Fable The Fox and the Grapes. It always refers to an unattainable goal and human reaction to it. It can mean to deny desire for the unattainable item. More often, it refers to the nature of humans to rationalize why they wouldn't want it anyway. The phrase has come to be synonymous with bitterness in most modern contexts.

and this is what I found in Thesauraus.com.

Main Entry:sour grapes
Part of Speech:noun
Definition:affected scorn

Synonyms:

bad-mouthing, derogation, disappointment, disparagement, ill-will, resentment

The sour grapes that I am referring to are my readers who had been making sarcastic comments and dare not reveal their identity. I am sure it also happened to my fellow bloggers like Harry and James. We are here blogging because of our interest and passion for swiftlet farming and we are not out to offend or mislead anybody. Readers who feel uneasy about any of the writings in this blog can just close the blog.

I would like to post a comment which I received on 18th September 2009 for all to judge whether this person who makes the comment is a sour grape. First of all he chose to remain anonymous. The 2nd thing is his English is lousy and the 3rd thing he is not so clever. I never write anything about either the external sound or the internal sound and he had the chick to say that I do not know how to fix the tweeter in a proper way and I am talking cock. I only show a photo of a tweeter with nest marking on it.

Here is Mr. Anonymous comment which I had rejected from publishing in my post 'Unique project after 6 months showing positive sign'.

'a person even dont know how to fix an tweeter in an proper way wanted to talk cock in web' - Anonymous

An tweeter?? An proper way??. First of all where did you learn your English and hope you polish up your English before making further comments and if you make comments the next time, please have the guts to put down your real name or known nick name.

Just would like to ask Mr. Anonymous where did you learn to fix tweeters. It can be in series or in parallel but for me it doesn't matter as long as the sound is audible and clear. If my sound is not good and wrongly fixed why then the swiftlet has started to make nest above the tweeter.

A word of advice to you
Mr. Anonymous. There is a saying, Many Roads Lead to Rome. Having gone to one or two seiminars and having read a few swiftlet books doesn't mean that what you have learnt everything and all are correct and whatever that differ from what you know are all wrong. Swiftlet farming or whatever you want to call it, is both an art and a science. In science it is definite and systematic but in art it is skill, innovation and creativity. Nobody until now dare to say that they can make the swiftlets build a certain number of nests over a certain period of time and guarantee it. Not the money back guarantee. My dear Mr. Anonymous, 80% still failed in swiftlet framing and only 20% had succeeded so far. So, its better you shut up and don't ever visit my blog again if you have nothing good to say or to contribute. Ask yourself whether you have talked cock or I talk cock. You are really a chicken who hide under the name of ANONYMOUS. Hope the next time if you ever comment again, you will reveal your identity. Be Gentlemanlah.

CHEERS TO ALL MY READERS AND SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN TO ALL MY MUSLIM FRIENDS
