They do not realize how hurtful the words they are typing can be.

They don't have to do it face to face.<br /><br />They forget that there is real person behind the blog...and that person has feelings. These people would probably not do that to their friends face, so why do they think it's okay on a blog??? CRAZY! I really don't like that blogging has turned into a popularity contest! Who can have the most followers, who is the funniest, etc. Who cares? Is that why we got into blogging? Probably not!TheFitHousewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162330713011240108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-40017763771942639192010-07-14T16:12:30.562-04:002010-07-14T16:12:30.562-04:00Hi Shell, great post.

I read a blog post today in fact which was a response by one clearly very upset blogger to a hateful commenter who had twice made nasty remarks about her child. How anyone can do that I do not know and I totally can understand the hurt generated as a result. My own response to such commeters is to simply ignore them. These bottom feeders are endlessly searching for soft hits, people they can hurt and get a reaction from and when they do they just feed off it and keep going. If you ignore them they go away and if ever anyone leaves a nasty comment on my blog ever again I will also delete it now I know how to do that :-)One Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793386254564806126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-85401174256279251082010-07-14T15:47:13.547-04:002010-07-14T15:47:13.547-04:00Great Post (as always).

So true that we need to remember these are all real people behind these blogs. :) It is sad that some people stoop to judging others just because of a blog post.

What sort of...I've never understood mean girls. What sort of joy does it bring to your life to create drama? I just don't get it. <br /><br />I've encountered a few trolls who've dropped into my blog. And every time something cruel or unnecessarily spiteful comes my way, I just try to take a deep breath and consider the source, how miserable that person must be to feel the need to spread hate. <br /><br />I stand outside of blog drama and just peek in. I've never gotten involved except for one time when a blogger wrote something unkind about a dear bloggy friend of mine. My friend wrote a post defending herself and I supported her in a comment, that was it. <br /><br />I think Shell, you and I, have learned to look beyond that kind of nonsense because we've always had to do that throughout our life. I think you know what I"m talking about. There are so many woe is me tales I could write, but I refuse to. It does no good except make more hurt and what good will that bring? <br /><br />You've done a great job, as always, as ever lovin' always on this post, my friend. <br /><br />Why can't we all just get along? Stop, drama queens. You're dragging the noble art of blogging into the mud. High school's over with. Grow up and find the joy in life.Joann Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163491824085428085noreply@blogger.com
