You know how I feel about this subject!! Even worse when you're attacked on a foreign language forum by angry women who resent your spending powder - yet don't have the guts to leave a comment on MY BLOG! That includes stealing my picture and making disparaging comments about my face on some troll forum!
Great post, thanks Jane. With my troll, after the anger subsided, I did end up feeling rather sorry for her as it was all so negative and nasty so it was sad to witness someone feeling that way.
Is this a joke? Someone says you're "fugly" and so you hire a "celebrity" pschologist to tell you what is wrong with those people?
*facepalm* This is SO obviously about your ego.
When you were a child, didn't your mother tell you "the girls that say you're ugly are just jealous" and "ignore them and they'll leave you alone"? You really needed a Celebrity Psychologist to tell you that? Of course not, but it's an excellent way of making you feel important and bumping up that ego another notch.
Then, as if that's not made you feel smug enough already, you publish it on your blog, so you have all these airheads swinging from your arsehole (because afterall you have got a celebrity on your blog!) saying "omgawwz i get trollz on mah blogg tu! :(" and you can all gossip on your iPhone's and facebook about how much better you are than those jealous trolls, and you know so because someone vaguely famous told you so.
Oh, and I'm not a troll, generally I just follow blogs, and don't post anything, but here I am giving my personal opinion. I suppose that it will get deleted, though.
Handy to have Eamonn appear to back up your point about trolls, eh Jane? Always helpful to have voluntary examples. It's a shame when people completely miss the point of a post.
Oh Eamonn. I actually thought you were joking. Now that I realise you're serious it's actually even funnier.
But really,find something better to do. This is a beauty blog. If you don't like what the writer has to say, take up knitting ,or something else where you can't spread needless negativity.
Thanks Joy: I try to let everyone have an opinion on BBB; agreeing isn't a requirement but I think a constructive argument is always better received than an angry rant. These posts are great for debate and I encourage it, but what is lovely for me is when someone like you comes in and is supportive. It's worth it's weight in gold :-)
@eamon: I am not a blogger, but I was on the receiving end of similar comments in school. It doesn't matter if you know that deep down, it's because people are jealous. Words does hurt, especially when u read it on the computer at home, as a blogger. It helps to have a second/ professional opinion.
Thanks for sharing this. I luckily don't see too many trolls around my blog, but every now and then they come along. Sometimes I would respond with a blunt, passive comment and pretend to ignore the animosity altogether. They usually just disappear when there is nothing to respond to. Arguing with a troll is the worst thing anyone can do.

Afternoon BBB
Eamonn think you missed the point!
Sometimes we don't always agree
but being grown up we make it in a polite way
It's not the school playground!!

Good for you, why should you be bullied??
Sorry, but I'll have to agree with Eamonn.
