You make such a good point - people do seem to be motivated by a sort of one-up-man-ship defensiveness sometimes. They want to feel superior, as you put it. Very insightful!PinonKnitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113895653080351359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090706788381385782.post-31722832547791698642011-02-25T10:08:29.286-08:002011-02-25T10:08:29.286-08:00I feel sorry that people do this :( In agreement w...I feel sorry that people do this :( In agreement with your post, I believe that the soul purpose for post rude and unnecessary comments is to have the feeling that you know more than you really do. I do wonder, though, why the person who posted those comments is so against what you had posted about. <br /><br />On a more personal note: I'm sorry you had to receive those rude comments Mrs. Van Houten. I know you don't disserve them and I hope this doesn't again happen any time soon. Though, when one goes public I have heard that these things are sadly unavoidable.Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02560815787766933203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090706788381385782.post-54656196022409940682011-02-17T00:11:15.187-08:002011-02-17T00:11:15.187-08:00Thanks Maureen -- I appreciate the info.

I hope that's what this was about. The whole experience was rather unsettling.PinonKnitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113895653080351359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090706788381385782.post-85374138017812916932011-02-17T00:08:00.565-08:002011-02-17T00:08:00.565-08:00My husband had someone post something really horri...My husband had someone post something really horrid on a You Tube video. Later the guy e-mailed my husband to tell him that he had been trolled. My husband did some research and it appears that some people post inflammatory stuff solely for the purpose of stirring up trouble (they don't even mean what they say). My husband responded to the troll, "ha ha, you got me". Then the troll offered to remove all of the offensive stuff he had posted. The whole thing was weird. Not saying that you shouldn't have deleted the comments, because they were just rude. It may just explain why the person was posting what they did...Maureenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693317239250946604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090706788381385782.post-5761849665122916702011-02-16T19:27:34.591-08:002011-02-16T19:27:34.591-08:00Yikes Ana -- thanks for letting me know.

Much to my amusement, the Vitriolic Wonder doesn't know the difference between to, two, and too.
