Short Fat Ugly

Today, openly on a blog, I was called short, fat and ugly by someone who goes to the same club we frequent.
She spewed a load of venom and berated and belittled me in numerous ways. The issue was not a personal one but her anger was such, she was throwing her words at me like daggers. She wanted to cause maximum damage to my ego, my blog or my credibility. I don't know but her anger, coupled with the fact that she was hiding behind a name set up only to post a comment and then cancelled (the account, not the comment).... I don't know what to make of it.
I know what's at the root of it but there's no way to stop people from dumping their hate on you.

That is so mean,I just started a weight loss blog now this makes me want to have second thoughts. I am hoping that remarks like that can be removed. I wonder if the blog will be able to have it so that comments will have to be approved before they are able to be on a blog. I will have to check that with my blog. I am sorry things like that have to happen and people who feel insecure themselves have to make others feel bad to make themselves feel good..

Well, II checked but can only delete my blog or give them a thumbs down. SO far.. the site I have my blogs on is in Beta right now and so things might change between now and the time they get the script straightened out. But the groups I am joined to I am able to monitor the responses and can delete them if I don't like what is being said..I haven't had to do that yet but it is always a nice option to have in case I do. So I am hoping that the blog will be like that also soon or have it so I can approve responses before they appear on my blog.

I don't like mean people either -- I hope you can moderate your blog comments because it makes it easier to control what shows up on your page. I should have done that right from the start.

I don't know all of what the cause of it is, but I find that people who do name calling and all that are not very nice people to start with. You know how they say people in glass houses should not throw stones. Well, she just can't be an adult and come up to you and talk to you about the problem. Or, maybe turn the other cheek. I am not sure but name calling go hand in hand with play-doe. It belongs in school to just make things up and not do anything real with. So, be the bigger person and not listen to her and if any one ask you about it say, "I don't know why this person is name calling I thought she was more adult about things! I guess not!" And, then talk about something else. It will make her look like the childish one.

I love that -- and it's so true.

People are going to say whatever they want.
There's really nothing you can do.
I mean, if she was doing her best to hurt you in any way possible, you shouldn't even take it seriously. People will say whatever they can to hurt you, and you just have to blow it off and move on.
I think the best thing to do to pay her back, would be to just ignore it.

I'm ignoring it as much as possible.
I think it will go away in due time
