Geez! I really DID give him some love! Told him he was a valuable asset to the world, more or less.

Well, I don't know that anyone treated him badly. There were three comments - two from me. The other was a nice one, too.

Maybe he just doesn't like attention?

Aw, thanks, Lori. Do you know, I think you're the only one who actually went over there? And now the blog's been shut down, which wasn't what I intended.

What'd you SAY to the poor fellow?

I think he probably wasn't anticipating that reaction. Poor dude. I feel kinda bad now.

It’s called cowardice. Dollars to doughnuts, these people don’t have the guts to confront anyone in real life, so they do it frequently on line because they don’t have to be held accountable for their actions or to actually face the person they’re blasting.

That’s true, Nikki. You went through this type of thing, as well.

I don’t understand it. I have had my share of times when I could rip someone to shreds, but I refrained because that’s what adults do. I’m not saying I’m 100% pure – far from it. But in general, it’s never acceptable to take a disagreement or an opposing opinion to the point of trashing someone’s reputation.

I don’t know Lori – this kind of reminds me of what has happened to me recently. she went to all kinds of extents to tear me down even so far as to post some sort of signature about “haters” on her blog. It’s unprofessional. I have no problem disagreeing with people but I try to keep it clean. There’s no reason for ridiculousness.
