    BRILLIANT post!!! Is it weird of me that I would love to see all the nasty comments from various bloggers? Don’t you think it makes us all feel better to know that there are hating people hating ALL of us?? Know what I mean?

    anyhow, great post on keeping positive…working hard and creating your “big doggedness” instead of just wishing for it 😉

    I know another way to look at it:

    It’s a sign that you’ve “made it” as a blogger. My blog is small – it’s been small for the last almost 3 years now, and I doubt it will grow too much. As a small blogger, I’ve never had a mean comment. Mostly because the only people who read my stuff are related to me!

    So, if your blog is popular enough to garner mean stuff, it means you’re one of the big dawgs!

    And I still don’t get why people take the time to be mean. I’m too busy. If I really don’t like a post, I just CLOSE THE STUPID TAB!! Why bother being all rude and stuff. But when I like something, I’m trying to be better at leaving a comment about how much they rock!

    Allison! Thank you and thank you to all your READERS for stopping by to read your words of wisdom!
    Even though we know that ‘trolls’ have nothing better to do with their time, some their words can cut deep. This is something that not many bloggers have talked about openly. So, I do thank you so much for opening up and talking how to deal with mean comments. I love the last line.

    Great post, Allison! Very well said. 🙂 I’m glad you don’t let those haters get you down when there are so many people who KNOW you’re awesome.

    This is a great topic. Fortunately I don’t get enough traffic to get mean comments but I would definitely delete them. My blog is my place where I can say and do anything I want and no one else’s opinion matters. And by the way, I think you are awesome because you answer comments, even on posts from ages ago from people who are too clueless to search your blog for your follow up post before commenting.

    I have been reading your blog for a while. I began reading because I loved your creative ideas. Now, I continue reading because you make me laugh and keep me entertained. I only wish we lived closer so we could hang out!! Don’t change because of “mean” people be yourself.
