I’ve been thoroughly annoyed lately with all the negativity floating around the blogosphere. It seems like everywhere I turn, there’s some negative post, comment, email or tweet being sent about someone or something. And it’s seriously starting to piss me off.
There are fights between bloggers, fights about bloggers, bitchy, snarky, passive-aggressive, unnecessary comments being made and emails being sent. It’s all driving me a little insane.
I mean, really. If you don’t like what someone has to say, can you not just leave it alone? Do you really have to leave a nasty comment, or send a mean email about it? Just don’t read it anymore! There! Problem solved!
LET IT GO, people. MOVE ON. There’s too much IMPORTANT shit to worry about in life.
To top it all off, I found out recently that I was targeted on a hater blog. It was called something along the lines of The Purple Violin, or The Purple Recorder or The Purple People Eater. (BTW, I totally know the real name I just don’t want to use it) The site’s been taken down, so I can’t link to it. But even if I could, I wouldn’t. The last thing I want to do is give them any recognition.
~~~
In case you don’t know what a hater blog is, let me explain:
There are people out there who are too lonely, sad and bitter to have their own life, so they start a blog where they spend their time talking trash about other people. Sounds like fun, right? But the best part is that they’re too chicken shit to do it in person, so they do it anonymously. They’re real winners.
~~~
Now, let me clear this up. The fact that I was mentioned in a hater blog is THRILLING to me. I mean, I’ve been feeling left out because no anonymous whack jobs thought I was important enough to be mean to! I get a little giddy just thinking about it. AND, I was mentioned in the same sentence as Queen of Spain, who, if you ask me, is GREAT company to keep. What they said about me was not anything that hurt my feelings, made me feel like a bad person, or a bad mother, which is what (I think) they were going for. So they failed in whatever their goal was. Because I’m ASSUMING they weren’t trying to up my page views and therefore add to my advertising revenue. But that’s TOTALLY what they accomplished! So, yay for me.
BUT, and this is a big BUT, what they said about other bloggers was DESPICABLE. DEPLORABLE. DISGUSTING. UNACCEPTABLE.
To the Hater Blog Writer(s):
If you’re such a pathetic person(s) that you have nothing better to do with your time than talk shit about grown people you’ve never met, that’s one thing. But to then turn it around and use their deceased children as ammunition is so incredibly fucked up, I don’t even have words for it. The fact that people like you exist in this world, and are able to walk around and put on a front, is unbelievable to me. The sentence “I’m a Pathetic Asshole” should be tattooed to your forehead so that everyone can see you for who/what you really are.
But you’re too much of a pussy to let anyone know who you are. That’s why you’re anonymous, remember? So feel free to continue to hide behind your computer screen. Just know that the Universe is bigger than you and Karma is a powerful thing. And it WILL catch up with you eventually. Good luck when that happens.
Oh, and in the mean time, get a life.

Because I just stooped to their level and talked trash (YES, I totally see the irony, thank you very much) I’m going to end this post on a totally unrelated note! Yay for you!
Tomorrow’s my BLOGOVERSARY! How exciting, right?! I’ve got a fun little quiz/giveaway planned. Now you’re even more excited! Yay!
AND, we’re giving away TWO $15 gift certificates for Butterball Turkey’s over at Hot Mom Reviews. Head over and enter to win! Contest ends tomorrow night…good luck!

Wow. I must be so out of it. I have never even seen a hater blog. Pathetic for sure. There must be a special place in hell reserved for someone that would use dead children as ammunition against another person. Pathetic.
Kirsten/Mama Ginger Trees last blog post..test post
ok, this is shocking to me who could hate you and why ??? i do believe the drama that can unfold is just that drama and i like to steer of the drama
feeners last blog post..I will..
I have to admit that, like Kirsten, I didn’t know of any such “blogs” ( because, really, something like that isn’t a blog at all, it’s just a vehicle for stupidity and ignorant pap) but I’m kind of glad. I don’t have time or patience for that kind of negativity. There’s enough of it in real life.
Good on you for speaking your mind. The fact that it increased your traffic in any way is sweet, and far outweighs any irony in you using your legitimate platform for giving them hell.

I consider myself a “peaceful” blogger. Especially since I hope that my sons can read my blog someday and enjoy it. I like to see my corner of the blogosphere as a light-hearted, lets-all-bond-as Mommies part of it all. Call me naive but I rarely come across this kind of stuff and I am SO glad for that.
And, I am so sorry that you and other bloggers were insulted. That’s just NOT RIGHT.

I’m totally with you guys…I never know anything like this exists until after the fact either! I clearly don’t check my incoming links enough, because it took someone TELLING me that I’d been linked to before I noticed the hits coming from it…duh!
Karma is the only thing that keeps me from beatin’ bitches up most days. If said bitches lived by me of course. It’s not like I’m gonna fly or road trip to beat bitches up, I’m not a crazy person. But some people need a good ol’ fashion bitch-slap ala karma if you ask me.

First off Happy Blogaversary!!!!
Second, I love what you wrote to the hater. I stopped blogging last year, the year before…I forget, because I was the target of one of those tards. I let it eat at me, until I finally just called it quits. I won’t do that again. These people just want people to come and read them and they have no life, so they pick on ours.
Third, I hate turkey, so I’ll leave that to others.
Issas last blog post..TV shows? Am I the only disappointed person?
I have never “seen” a hater blog, but have heard of them. That totally sucks that people can be such jerks. I think what you said totally rocks (but I always think that, right?)
Wow, like ya’ll, I had no idea HATER blogs even existed. How plain stupid is that? Really, you have nothing better to do, so lets be mean and trash other people and their families, seriously are we ADULTS? I’m still pretty NEW to blogging and I love my little AWESOMELY NICE blogging family. So glad I haven’t run into any of the haters, thank goodness.
Really? Hater blogs? I don’t have enough time to read blogs I like, let alone those I don’t. Wow.
Anyway, happy blogversary!

Keep blogging baby! Way to speak up. I’ve never seen one either and I don’t get it. I agree, I don’t have time to read all the lovely people that I adore. I could never waste my time with hate blogs. But, I know they can be very, very hurtful and I’m really sorry that you and others were targeted. It’s crap. Flush it away.

I just don’t GET hater blogs. So, yeah, in case you were wondering – I’m not “anonymous” (though I’m pretty sure you already knew that, since I’m a huge Meghan fan
Though I think I’d be kinda flattered to be the target of one.
But actually… I doubt I’d actually notice if I was one. I’m kinda dense like that.
And no, there was no point to this comment. I just wanted to say hello!

I loved the fact that this particular “blogger” bitched and moaned about how “no one cares about these people’s lives.” Um, hello? You started an entire “blog” devoted to these people’s lives. Asshole.
There’s a special place in hell for people who speak that way about deceased children. Assholes.
I like the tattoed to the head idea. I think we should use that as a form of punishment for many offenses. I think they should give that option to judges when determining sentencing. Brilliant.

Wow… you learn something new everyday. I consider myself to be quite savvy on the web and whatnot, and I’ve never heard of hater blogs. Luckily for me, I really don’t care either…. BUT… it does have me wondering if anyone’s blogging about me.

Happy B’versary!
I wasn’t a “feature” on a hater blog, but someone once linked to me in a totally random blog, and called me a “traitor”…because I said that a particular natural product didn’t clean my carpets as well as oxy-clean. Yep. That was what set off a complete stranger. My choice of carpet cleaning products. If I stop to dwell on how many assholes and weirdos are out there, I just get sad. And ditto what others said – I barely have time to read stuff I like, much less comment, MUCH less devote a whole blog to other people! Damn…who has that kind of time?
I know those blogs exist because I’ve seen bloggers reference them, but I’ve yet to come across one. That’s probably a good thing.
