Haters and people outing me caused me to go into hiding and not blog for a LONG time. But I’m kinda back…
I just wish people would respect bloggers the way other bloggers respect eachother. Outsiders don’t understand and never will.

I am so very out of the loop.
This is the problem with the internet, I’m afraid… anonymity can be good at allowing people to feel open expressing themselves (hell, look at me), but it becomes problematic when used as a shield for cruelty.

I intensely dislike when people get into bloggy wars with each other. I feel like it resorts back to schoolyard fighting, and it’s immature and stupid.

Neener.

agreed that the hate really should stop, but we do put ourselves out there, don’t we?

and yes, it’s a lot easier to be mean over email (or in anon comments) than to someone’s face. these people have no balls.

People seem to feel a lot braver on the internet and for some people, that seems to mean being disrespectful towards others. I don’t get it at all and it makes me sad to hear about.

People can be so rude when they can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. I completely agree.

Great post, and great discussion in the comments. Thank you.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

ive been going through this recently. ive been hit with a lot of horrible anonymous comments and people can just be so cruel. some have even gone to the point in making fake gmail account to mess with me. im not kidding people are that crazy.

it makes me sad sometimes, but then i realize that for every single meanie there are 100 nice wonderful readers.

i just don’t ever get why so many people would go through so much to either plagiarize another blogger or leave them such harsh comments. it makes no sense to me whatsoever. come on people, let blogging be happy.

It cant all be puppy dogs and candy canes. There is going to be alot of hate along the way…

unfortunetly theres not a whole lot we could do about it.
