What’s With the Hate?
24 09 2009Holy crap. Why is everyone on the internet so angry? You would not believe the comments we have to put up with as bloggers and writers online (well, unless you experience it as well.) Or if you are one of the people that does it.
I refuse to put up with them anymore and I’m starting with this one.
I LOVE when people disagree with me, but accusing me of having sex with animals is probably a liiiiiittle out of line. For a product review!
Most bloggers keep quiet, which is probably the best policy, but I’ve never been good at that.
What a prick! Good for you for calling him out!
omg – I LOVED your response!! What an ass – pun intended.
Seriously. I think some people are just so angry and upset with their lives, one little comment totally sends them off the deep end. What a loser.
Like what I’ve dealt with:

i never really got the hateful comments. just… why?
veggiegirl- just watched the video- good for you. I must have missed it the first time around. I hope everyone watched that in its entirety. people are so ridiculous, how do they justify judging other people and their beliefs based on a tiny paragraph we write every day or even less often.
you;re right- we do all need to take a break and get away from the blogs. Its hard when its your job (me), or when your blog is so ridiculously popular and have devoted so much time to it (you). I dont get why it has to turn personal, in the most disgusting way. Ive had people tell me to die and that Im fat and should turn back to my eating disorder. Really? of course i dont turn it inward or believe it, but it just shocks me that people take the time to tear other people down in such an extreme way.
chewy is adorable, by the way.
Kelly, your support means everything to me – you know that I’m 100% behind you as well. It IS disgusting that people react like that and take the time to hurt others.
Chooey says thanks for the compliments
For CRIPES SAKE! I have stopped even reading my KidGlue/Twirlit comments because there are only about one or two nice ones for every 10 evil ones. It’s sheer garbage. I wonder sometimes if comments should even be allowed. You always seem to know the right thing to say, though, so good for you!
i know- im kind of surprised they dont moderate the comments. not the negative ones in general but the ones that are extremely vulgar. especially kidglue, cause, you know, its a site about CHILDREN.
everyone who blogs gets so much hate mail and voice. myself included. let the haters hate….I could care less.
I know that you rock my world you and your skinny ass.
that ab, circle thingee…I thought it was a gardening bench all this time. I know, dumb, but doesn’t it look like that?
well played Ms. Turner
I think you answered excellently.
dawn- how could anyone send you hate mail??? They must hate delicious food which sounds like mental illness to me. And Im not skinny! Im curvaciously challenged. Actually, I do have a disproportionately full ass that gets me free drinks and whistles. It just doesnt get enough attention in the blog world, which is a shame. You’re all missing out.
It’s actually pretty sad when you think about it. You have to be a very sad/unhappy person to spend your free time putting down others on the internet. I generally avoid reading comments unless I have a question that I am hoping someone answered in the comments.
For what it’s worth I think you’re wonderful and enjoy your articles.:)
The stupid negative comments are one thing I’ll never understand.
I hear you. and for some reason it really incenses me w/regards to the always UBER KIND veggiegirl.
sigh…..
Hey Kelly,
I have a question that has absolutely nothing to do with your current post (although I did read your response to that jackass in Twirlit and I think it’s great that you’re standing up for yourself so eloquently…I probably just would’ve sworn at him).
ANYWAYS, I had my wisdom teeth out last Friday and I haven’t had any appetite at all since then…which has resulted in me losing 7 pounds in 7 days. I’ve been taking it really easy with exercise (well, I haven’t exercised except for at work since I’m a server and some walking around due to not having a vehicle) but I really want to go to a yoga class tonight. However, should I let my body recover and rest until I get my appetite back to prevent further weight loss? I’m at a good weight (I’m 140 pounds and 5’11 BEFORE the weight loss) so I really don’t want to lose any more weight and I want to let my body heal before I start to push it again.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Sarah
I love your blog and your point of view. You dont sugar coat anything and your a real and unique person. Don’t let the crap get to you. The only reason you have me coming back is cause your not just like all the other fitness and food bloggers that talk about the same thing everyday. Keep up with the awesome posts.
dont let the haters get you down..
this jay-z quote reminds me of you and veggie girl too- “how can anyone hate when ive made myself so easy to love????”
im surprised they dont moderate those comments.. but i bet even the people who run sites about kids love the drama that comes along with nasty comments..
