David Ples. Batch 2011. I - Garnet. II - Champaca.
I've honestly never really talked to the guy. He probably doesn't even know me. Still, I can't help but feel sorry for him. He's got a whole bunch of uhm, well, haters in my batch - batch 2010. I don't exactly know the details but what I do know is that this whole thing started as a writer's feud. See, when Ples was first year he got a book of his published, The Talisman Unsealed. And there's this other writer in our school who doesn't really like Ples. I will refer to this man as the Black Olive. Black Olive is A batch mate of mine. He's a writer just like Ples. Anyway, this feud continues on to the next year until finally something bad happens and Black Olive sort of goes out of bounds. It was around this time that I found out about this feud thing. Anyway, Ples goes to his LJ and vents his anger. This particular post is met with wide range of criticism, including but not limited too: consolation, strong advice, flame posts, profanity and human genitalia. Now some of you people out there may be used to these things on the web but I don't think Ples was. Now, for some reason, most of my batch has come together, put aside their differences to bring down the existence known as David Ples. This is absolutely outrageous.
My batch is a very mixed batch, we have people from all walks of life. This is probably one reason why my batch isn't always the most united one. But for a lot of us to come together for this one guy - and were not praising him, were *&^$% him - is amazing. Gah. This is just too much. It doesn't even matter if he really is annoying or something but no one deserves this kind of treatment. To be hated and ridiculed by a whole batch, and it isn't even the type that makes sense. It's a lot of times just his name + profanity. His book was even shown in front of the school in the Talent Show teaser by a band. Yeah, you said the book was good but anyone could tell you were saying something else. Well, maybe it isn't the guy. Maybe it really is the book. A classmate of mine brought it today (which is mainly the reason im blogging about this now) and I was able to read like the first few pages. I went a little past the first chapter and I guess it isn't the best book in the world. It's definitely below average for a published book. I've read like 2 of Ples' Inkwell works and comparing them to his book, I'd say he probably wrote it when he was eight or something. Still, this much for a bad book? Even Black Olive said it was too much. I guess all I want to say is that we really have to stop this guys. I know that we have our reasons for not liking the guy, and there's a general dislike of batch 2011 in 2010. But this is no reason to totally bury a guy and spit on him. (metaphor) I bet most of you have never even talked to the guy. Can't we just drop this whole thing and at least TRY to get along. Really, this is just immature. And to David Ples of II - Champaca '11, I guess its kinda late but I am really, really sorry. Not everyone in my batch unreasonably hates you. Although, you probably know that already.
