Crushed
I've come across my first critic.
And I didn't get a good review.
Over at W3's blog , I challenged an anonymous derogatory comment made about one of my links.
It went like this:
Anonymous: (drops in late in the conversation and trashes M)
Hope: oh please anonymous, direct us to your blog where we may be enlightened by your superior wisdom and entertained by your exciting life. give me a break!

Here's your break.There is no way I could compete with "Cruise Control""Cows Moo", washing "baby bunnies," and having my hot tub filled with hail.

Now I know this writing business is a tough one.
But I am not sure I can shake this crushing blow to my ego.
How does one shake knowing that someone out there thinks I am boring???
I am crushed.
Here I was perfectly happy with my simple little life, and bam, it is pulled from under me.
I'm just glad I highlight words so that he could get a Cole's Version of my blog without having to actually read it. Seeing as he actually only spent 19 seconds on my site:

But, if he would have actually read the blog, rather than quickly glance at the pictures, and the highlighted words, he would have known I did not wash the New,as in just born, baby bunnies (I would never do that, ) and the hot tub did not fill up with hail, it was covered.
I am caught in a dilemma. How do I dumb up an already boring blog???
This blogging is a tough business.
Going away to lick my wounds.....

First of all Hope I read what that jerk wrote about you and M and I have to tell you it pissed me off. I did not respond right then because in truth I was soooooo angry that he insulted the two of you I would have only spat out a bunch of cuss words.
What I got from this coward was this.... He comments very loudly and very rudely, and hides behind the Anonymous.... Most likely because he knows he is a rude pig, and to show face would mean he would have to let the world see him for what he is..... It is interesting that he had nothing to say on the topic. Only had words to trash others. This has been on my mind all day as you can see. It did not only offend you, and crush you but those who care about you and M.
YOU do not need to dumb up your blog. Your blog is not boring! I hapeen to find you one intersting lady. You be yourself hun. Let no loud mouthed PIG make you feel other then who you really are which is a very smart, and wise lady. Do not give this coward the time of day......
(((Hope)))))
LOL mysti, no need to worry about me. Sometimes I just like skunk hunting.
How about all of us uninteresting bloggers get together and have a party?
And no paper bags allowed!
I put my blogger comments on delay since I was getting some spam and figured most everyone goes through HaloScan anyway,
Sounds like a fine plan Gina... :)
Should we use one of those guns that W3 says he has and refuses to give up? Skunk hunting sounds pretty fun to me.... Or in my mind pig hunting. LOL
Can I join you guys at the party? No paper bags here...I use canvas.
Hope, you are definitely not a boring blogger! I find you very funny!
Mysti...knock..knock...are you sure your not taking on my persona? I could have wrote that!
Hey hope, can I have a paperbag too or loan Mysti the gun that doesn't exist and yet sounds really tough and mean?
Thanks to the both of you. I truely appreciate it and it means alot to me. Accepting my own responsibility and doing something about it on this end. I'll read along and learn, but that's it. No worries.
Focus on who LIKES your writing and your blog and keep that in mind. It is easy to get lost in someone else's negative thoughts....but only if you let them.

Forgive me for dragging you all in to me making a point.
Am I crushed... nope, just couldn't resist letting
Smo Kin Crac, or whatever his name is that his cheap shot at M, and then at me was laughable.
And to call him to task.
I'm not Always a nice person.
Sometimes I like seeing worms squirm.
your so called boring blog is interesting to us, well guess we wont make it into professor status but at least we can respond in clarity.
Deleted the very last comment because I did not make sense. Sorry.
Hope nothing to forgive. You made a great point. I was offended that this person felt name calling and putting down yours and Mistys blogs was necessary. I probably should have kept my mouth shut and stayed out of it. I spoke up because I thought what he did was petty and not very nice. I do not like it when my friends are being trashed. Jesus said to turn the other cheek, I most likely should have followed that advice. Sometimes I am tend let my emotions get the best of me. I am sorry if I put my nose where it did not belong.
Mysti, never apologize for stating your feelings. Never. Sometimes they come out in ways that we are not-so-proud of (God knows I am guilty of that), but they deserve to be spoken, just like anyone elses.
(the comment before that was mine, I deleted it because I jumped the gun and thought my blog had blown up ;O)
mysti, as stated above by misty, no need for apologies. Thanks for the backup, but I think you might have thought that his comments hurt or offended me.
They didn't.
They annoyed me and I had some time on my hands so I thought I'd make the guy squirm, have a little fun and make a point.
W3 says I took his bait.
I like to think of it as, I grabbed his cheesy little hook and dragged him up river for a while.
Hope, from reading your blog and comments, I figured you weren't REALLY hurt, but just being sarcastic. You seem like a very smart and intelligent woman. I agree though..maybe you did take the bait, but hey, thats your perogative.
Point taken. :)
Too bad he hides under A WORD, and not a name I would go over and yawn at his blogs general direction.
Where as with this one I do not yawn, Can if your boring I must be comatose. I don't write the most exciting blog and I know that's ok with me.
