Put through the wringer

Well congratulations, me!  I've had my first mean anonymous commenters on my last post.  Although, really they're not that anonymous.

I wrote a (mean, in retrospect) comment on someone else's blog.  Along the lines of, wow that was boring. Only because I'm every day thoroughly entertained by this person.  I've read the blog for at least a year every day, sometimes checking MORE than once in hopes that there'd be another post.

My comment:  funny?  Apparently not.  Hurtful?  Apparently so.  But whoa Uncle Sam did I get some nassssty things said about me.  On that blog.  On facebook.  AHHHH and such is the life of being able to say whatever you want to another person because this is all virtual.

Hey, at least I didn't try to disguise myself and comment as Anonymous.  Righteous.

  2. I learned a valuable lesson myself about how small the world is; I made a mean comment about someone on Twitter who was, at that moment, competing on a game show. Somehow, SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT and came and commented on my blog.
    I wrote an apology post. And felt horrible about it. I still feel bad even though she forgave me.

  4. Yikes. I'm sorry to hear you went through that, too. I think this is why I've tried the adopt the old adage "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I'm terrified of hurtful words coming to bite me in the ass. Though I have had my share of mean commenters, so I guess you can't win 'em all :)

  5. Kiera, you're my hero. I am the champion of regret, and set myself up for it on the regular. But forgiveness is where it's at! Of yourself, and "anonymous."
    P.S.- I always check for posts on your blog too!!! I anxiously await. Never let down.

  6. Yikes! I found out once that someone had linked my blog to a gypsy hate page on facebook. They wanted to marvel in incredulity at the fact that anyone would be idiotic enough to celebrate gypsy culture. That was a sad day, but luckily facebook shut them down. I don't like people so cowardly that they will leave a negative comment without leaving their names. Lame!

  10. Hey, cool blog. I was looking for public humiliation and found you!

    How much do you charge and do I have to pay extra for that red spatula?
