I think jealousy can be a big part of it. Very brave of you to email the troll and usually it is anonymous, so it's great that the first comment had her email!<br /><br />Carrie<br />curlycraftymom.comCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646332034591536363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-12483820012073109792016-12-01T11:11:53.272-05:002016-12-01T11:11:53.272-05:00Wow.

I actually had a lady that was old enough to be my grandmother leave me a really ugly and mean comment. Situations like that make me wonder why she was so mean to me?

I had one troll. For years. She pretended to be my friend, but every comment put me down, all about how she has this and that and I was late - and it was not true, she just wanted to put me down. Even if I were late, big deal. She had problems with her self esteem and did that to everybody. And through 10 emails a week as well. It was unbearable. So this year after June I finally could get rid of that!<br />DenisesPlanet.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401424790499509388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-41621030019296925142016-12-01T07:58:43.171-05:002016-12-01T07:58:43.171-05:00This is so insightful and interesting to hear from...This is so insightful and interesting to hear from her perspective.
