Since You're Offering Advice...

It seems my gift for the New Year is yet ANOTHER blogger who has a problem with the way I live my life and run my blog: Pretension and Dissention and Let Her Eat Cake (this comment was particularly amusing). You may remember this Happy Nice Guy from his post about overweight women being a drain on society. Oy.

Here's my question:

I think these people want attention (don't we all?), but I'm loathe to reward their crappy behavior by engaging in battle on my blog. As such, I'm tempted to just ban them immediately and be done with it.

On the other hand, while I don't feel it necessary to justify my actions to these types of people, or enable their behavior by returning fire, sometimes people need a smackdown with the 'Reality Stick' to take their egos down a notch. And if you're a jerk on MY blog, well, that makes ME the one who gets to choke up on the bat, doesn't it?

I think we all agree that YOU DON'T GO ON OTHER PEOPLE'S BLOGS AND INSULT THEM. THAT MAKES YOU AN ASSHOLE.

So, since I adore all of you and wish to continue entertaining you in the vein you prefer...should I:
Ban the haters, delete the comments...move on
Don't ban them (so we can see who these assholes are), but don't engage them
Don't ban them...return fire with fire until you get bored


When it comes to sex, I need a STRONG connection. Otherwise, the page just keeps buffering and takes FOREVER to load...

Fortunately, I'm in an inconspicuous corner out in the far east so trolls don't venture over this far. Tho I've heard of one who harasses anyone who seems to be a threat, that person seems to know better than to try to mess with me.

On occasion, I've had comments of a less desirable nature but I left them there for all to see and promptly awarded the with this bling:

Some people aren't worth the shoulder shrug they generate every time they open their feed hole.

"Whatever" is an appropriate response and its socially accepted... Moreso than any response that involves picking your teeth with their bones. Either way, its always best to wash your hands afterwards.

Life is too short to deal with idiots and small minded people. Ban them or not, delete their comments or not, I wouldn't respond. But I would rather throw away a pair of shoes than spend 10 minutes scraping off the dog shit...

*Putting on my egghead academic hat*

People who engage in that sort of "hit and run trolling" behavior are looking for a reaction. Ignore the provocation, it only feeds them and eggs them on.

If you ban them or otherwise try to stop them from posting, it's easy enough for them to create a sock puppet profile and begin.

IMO (and unfortunately experience)the best thing to do is to just ignore hem, leave the post there and let your other visitors know that they are to just ignore that kind of behavior as well.

Deprive the fire of its fuel and the flame will go out.

    Quoting ak_bigbadwolf3:
    I find humiliating them much more entertaining for me. Only because their come backs are usually more asinine that the original offensive statement. But what I really wanna know who the jackass is that says I am not suppose to be attracted to big assed women. I like me some hips to grab and grrrrrrrrr wait thats Tony the tiger ummmmmmm Grab some hips and howl at the moon.
From what I seen of yourself sexy you take care of yourself. As for guys who think that the world revolves arround size zero women they are in a fantasy land. as I said before I like women of all sizes and will continute to do so as long as they let me. What I find funny is as you pointed out is you get it from both ends, and that isn't right. Unless its well hmmmm you in the middle of something else.......damn my mind keeps wondering today.

Don't compromise yourself! You are all you've got!

Regarding Mr. Happy(Itotallystolethispic) though, he's a dumbass. He refused to speak to me again after I gave him several various peer-reviewed studies regarding obesity and the drain on healthcare. He's not worth engaging, because he's really just here to provoke an emotional response out of you.

I don't generally ban or delete anyone. I also don't have people seeking out my blog solely to pick fights with me either because I'm low on the blog totem pole So a grain of salt with my words.

I would probably allow their comments to stand. If I felt that I could respond objectively and without heat, then I would do so. I don't think that just because someone is a fucking idiot, I shouldn't engage with them - but I do try to pick my battles, and I won't fight uphill.

I try to decide if their words have merit, if I'm reacting emotionally because I'm feeling defensive or if they're just being assholes. Then I go from there. I try to make my points based on fact and logic, and if they still push back, I ignore them. That's what works best for me.


gottaring replies on 1/2/2012 5:42 pm:
Here's a little secret, Nerdy...

I'm not posting for HNW anymore. I decided that it's the best way to lower my comment count enough to get me off the Watched Blogger List. That way, I won't be a target for trolling douches like this guy. I'm here to have fun- two trolls in two days are two trolls too many. I don't need the hassle and headache.

Wish me luck, lol.

Let them show their true colors. The "net" has a term for these type of people, they are called "Flamers" and their sole purpose is to cause dissent and discord. They get off on it. Its much like the two year old who isn't getting their way, so they demand attention in an inappropriate manner, by kicking and screaming and throwing a good old fashioned hissy fit (aka temper tantrum). I always managed my children's temper tantrums by ignoring the behavior. Besides Gotta, you are a lady.. why lower yourself to their level? Take the moral high road, eventually they get bored and move on.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Your view is infinitely better from higher ground. So is your aim. I agree that taking the high road is the right thing to do, but it isn't always the easy thing, is it, lol?

Stop looking at the holes and enjoy the doughnuts.

You've got a couple of kids, a husband that loves you, and an ass that if flexed at the wrong time could rip my genitals clear off.

I'm thinking a combination of the top two, depending on their severity.

(in my humble opinion) if it's a real jack-ass with no real input to the blog or any conversation, then they should be removed. However, if it's a comment that may be misguided or narrow-minded, but they actually wanted to make some sort of point, then maybe keep that comment, and let other's (if they want to) persue this person, since they did leave a comment and they are open for response.

But totally up to you! since it is YOUR blog.

gottaring replies on 1/2/2012 12:41 pm:
Um. That 'jackass' would be me, lol. And I was kidding. But this particular gent seems to think that bigger women should be ashamed of themselves and are a drain on resources, etc. He takes a very clear stand on the matter- his post on the subject was how I first became aware of him. Attitudes like that are the reason so many women feel crappy about themselves and men who spout such bullshit deserve to be put in their places.

Am I overweight? Yup. Do I look ashamed? Nope. And because I post pics and am happy with who I am, I've been deemed narcissistic and arrogant. Okay- I'll allow him that latitude. But it's more important to me to be a positive role model for my daughter and to be sure that she knows that being healthy is more important than being thin. And that being healthy starts with your head .

If he, or anyone else, takes issue with my physical appearance, they are welcome to perv elsewhere. This site is a buffet of women of all shapes and sizes. No one is forcing you to graze in one place, right?

Everyone has their own way of entertaining themselves. For a few it's going on random blogs and insulting the blogger and readers of said blogs. It's how they get their rocks off. Everything is a fetish these days. SMH. No worries. Just do not add fuel to the fire. I chose option #2.

I opted for Don't ban them (so we can see who these assholes are), but don't engage them....
I agree with Jasminum64 as she notes " many of us are here for the entertainment value and meeting new people...". That is why I'm here.
Yes its fun to see what some idiot savants can write and come back to you with. I enjoy watching a creative wordsmith put their knowledge and skill to good use. Some here know I can go toe to toe and throw insults with the best of them BUT need a good reason to do it.
Frankly, some of the amateur writers here aren't really worth wasting your time and good comebacks on. So before an outright ban,I think these " possible ASSHOLES " should be given a chance or two to backpedal,rephrase and explain themselves fully.
IF they don't retreat and continue on with insults and disparaging remarks, then its GAME ON! You can unleash your best insulting slander comments and then opt for banishment. DONT get yourself banned in the process. There's a fine line between creative comeback and insulting asshole like remarks. Trust me I've learned!
