Kelly writes “the last few weeks i’ve been just completely ripped on any message board i’ve posted on. it’s like everyone takes every word i say as offensive or mean. ugh, what’s the point of sharing your opinion if it means people are just going to take turns beating you up for it?”. It does seem to me that there have been a lot of people, certainly on blogs, who have taken to trolling – going around just being obnoxious on other people’s webpages. I know that on the TampaTantrum web site, they have made a logo for blogroach killer or something along those names – quite apt really! Thankfully I’ve not had to deal with any of that sort of thing on this website, and when i’ve had abusive responses back on the internet newsgroups or similar places, then the killfile is useful, as is remembering that it’s only a webpage and that I can make the choice to go somewhere else and not answer back. Still I do feel for you Kelly as I know its tough!
