A Little Lesson On The Internet
Ok- it has come to my attention that some people don’t understand the way this internet-thing works.
When you post a comment, I can look up your IP address. This tells me where your computer is located. For example, if you are using a college campus computer, it will tell me that. If your comment has given me a vague idea of where I might find you, and I do find you, and then you tell me in your profile section that you do, indeed, attended that college, AND you write a post that gives you a really big motive for writing a really lame insulting comment on my blog, I’m going to know who you are. This isn’t rocket science.
Being a sore loser for something like Battle of the Blogs is really lame. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. And if you are going to insult me, do it with style. Insults aren’t supposed to make me laugh at you.
For future reference, if you leave a troll comment on my blog again, I will smear your name around the blogosphere until your eyeballs bleed from the hate mail. I’m a nice person. Don’t make me have to do that, mmmm-kay?
For those of you gentle readers who are wondering what this is about, just check out comment #5.
Thanks and have a great day!

Hah! You rock.
I don’t think I want to bother taking the time to badmouth idiots who try and flame me.

I think your blog is awesome! I just surfed in from BE and your layout is really nice. Some people are such jerks! It’s nice to see someone who doesn’t take it personally!

I couldn’t leave you waiting in the BoB any longer…
For some reason there’s been a lot of negative posting lately. I don’t mean criticsim. Heck if it was just criticism it would be great. I think criticism just means someone noticed. But there have been a lot of cheap shots. My advice is just ignore them. It isn’t worth your time.

I can’t believe that someone would say such things. You’re blog and family are both lovely. Nothing ugly about them. Die “bitch” die.
I applaud you for your gentle retaliation.

Wow! It is getting busy in here!
Love your new layout, the wallpaper is actually wallpapery, which suits you. Have you ditched the tagboard?

Hey Lou! Thx for the comment. Beautiful kids! I can’t believe people take the blog battles so seriously. Boy, I wouldn’t want to get into a game of Risk or Monopoly against them …

i am battling you as i write this. i was actually going to write something about your kids and life, but saw #5 beat me.
I AM SO KIDDING. i think your kids are cute and although this is my first visit to your blog, i have loved everything i’ve read so far.
you handled the insults with more grace than i would have, and for that i am in awe

That comment ‘bitch’ left smacks of jealousy. What a nasty thing to say. Your blog is cool!

Your best strategy against a troll is to ignore them. Delete the comment and forget about it.
If there’s anything worth responding to, it’s not a bad idea to respond and calmly explain how they’re wrong. But if all they’ve done is insult then there’s nothing to say to them really.
Trolls like to get a rise out of you and see some good, pissed off responses. They’re just trying to stir up trouble.
A whole post devoted a troll is a troll’s dream come true.
That’s been my experience anyways.
