It is sad how ignorant and disrespectful people can be. I've seen some comments and it is just hard to read and just seems like people are just looking for attention as you send and seem heartless.

Whoever it was kept leaving belittling comments under different names. I deleted the first two, but the third was sort of engaging with the content, just in a highly critical way, so I responded to it. The reply to my response was unnecessarily nasty, so that's when I blocked the IP address and realized it was the same as the previous trolls. <br /><br />Honestly, it's a little pathetic if your life sucks so much that you spend your free time making up new online names to leave rude comments on blogs. <br /><br />I received my first "troll" comment within my first few months of blogging. And it still kind of stings because it wasn't just a few mean words. Someone took the time to write 3 or 4 paragraphs about all the reasons my marriage was going to fail. I actually changed my comment policy after that to specify what "respect" means. Insulting my husband or our marriage is an automatic ban.

I just wanted to say that I thought it was super clever that you did this on halloween, and I also think that the advice you offer is so helpful! I agree that most of the hate is usually sparked by jealousy and it makes sense that the Internet started to get meaner once freebies and other things came into play. It's too bad because I know you work hard for them and put so much time and money into your blog! They are definitely not free; they are well-deserved partnerships!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216194365319691319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-8057145606634082342016-11-02T05:37:55.277-04:002016-11-02T05:37:55.277-04:00I can't imagine ever leaving a mean comment on...I can't imagine ever leaving a mean comment on a post, picture, etc. Sure, I may think "that lipstick color isn't good," but I would never say it.

Yes, they are mean, they just want attention to their poor souls, nothing else, to put out of their bad chests what makes them angry. You are right, Youtube has the most terrible commenters. I had 70 videos there, and deleted my channel. I also understand the anxiety before reading and then not reading the comments... I will share "my story". Because there's another point that is right. I used to have a "friend" who is so competitive. So every post I shared, there came a mean comment, because she used to check my numbers, saw that I was doing better (I didn't even know about numbers at the time!) and then sent mean and offensive comments. Every time I posted, I was so afraid of reading the comments and bingo! Every week a bad one. So I realized it was about her insecurities and not me. I am sure it's the same with any other blogger and you are right - the mean people have problems with themselves and you happen to be a blogger, the target of these people. But I know you will go on strong and I love your blog (and your facebook posts :) <br />DenisesPlanet.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401424790499509388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-58723763116383222982016-11-01T14:11:31.543-04:002016-11-01T14:11:31.543-04:00I love this . . . fabulous series and am looking f...I love this . . . fabulous series and am looking forward to more.

Honestly I just have to look at as they obvi have internal issues to have nothing better to do with their lives than sit behind a computer and make fun of people to make themselves feel better about themselves. It is actually really sad, but it is still hard to not let it get to you. Sometimes I like to write them back and be like aww youre so sweet! Thank you! To make them just feel like an asshole.

I mean would you walk up to a person on the street and say hey your shirt is ugly, no you wouldn't. Sad that there are so many scared and unhappy people out there just hiding behind their computer screens who feel that they need to make others feel the same way. Sorry, I got on a tangent!
