This is just an all around crappy day and I seem to be taking it out on other people's comments.
Some nimnull on Rachel's blog was very obnoxious to her and then some other guy belittled my defense of her (amongst others). Normally, I don't bother responding to jerks, because it's just like when I was in school and being bullied -- reacting is what they want. I learned to keep it all buried so they couldn't get any pleasure from my anger or my fear. But today I don't give a damn. I'm emotionally exhausted after attending Mikey's funeral and internment, my head aches from crying, and I'm so tired. And I don't normally defend myself, but I always defend my friends. I'm a regular old mama bear I guess.
Do people have so little in their lives that they get some sick joy out of demeaning and belittling people on their blogs? I just don't get it. Why can't they make mature arguments if they're opposed to something, and not stoop to insults and nastiness? Is it because they're incapable of original thought? Is it because they're emotionally stunted? Or are they just plain mean? I often wonder what happened to the bullies from school, and I can only assume they turned into the adults that now like to go around to other people's blogs and tear them down. Figures!

I'm the same way. I get mad at idiots in other peoples' comments and then I feel like I have to go somewhere to cool off. There are some real jerks out there.
Posted by: Andrea Harris on February 12, 2003 6:53 PMThanks Andrea :) To top it all off, the emrergency brake on my truck snapped off tonight. Luckily, April is a goddess [g] and managed to get the panel off and use a screwdriver to release it. Otherwise, we'd still be waiting for the two truck.

Yes, people are that stupid and petty, with
nothing better to do with their lives. They're
trollers, who are just looking to cause someone
pain or get a fight started.
They should hurt... severely... and for a very
long time.
Tam, some of her male readers were quite ready to remove body parts from the guy [g] It really isn't too different from some email lists we've been on, but as you know, you get to know people in your little 'community' and you get riled when they're attacked.
