I do not hang out here everyday, (obviously).
So I was very surprised to log on today and see a comment on a post that I made almost four weeks ago. My first thought was that someone came over from my wife’s blog,
http://gettheetoapoet.blogspot.com
and read what I had written about my pets. This couldn’t have been further from the truth.
The fact of the matter is that someone had written a comment about my wife on my blog. What an act of cowardice. Apparently this person, who shall remain nameless, had made some comments on someone else’s blog about a mental illness. Quite a few people blog about issues with their own health or a member of their family, and it is not an easy thing for any of them to do. This nameless person, who just so happens to be a mental healthcare nurse, made some poorly, worded comments.
After coming to the defense of the owner of this blog, my wife became the target of this woman. Target may be a harsh word, as it would imply that my wife was the center of her disdain. Apparently this woman harasses anyone who doesn’t agree with her. Her blog talks about:
What a great person she is
How she helps people
How much smarter she is then anyone who actually lives with a person with mental illness
How much money she makes helping people
What is going on with troublesome patients
How her husband slept with someone else and left her
Her weight
Co-workers who don’t like her and what she would like to do to them
(I had to make these bullet points because there were so many of them in just the three posts I read)
My blog post concerned my dog farting. Not the most glamorous of happenstances, but a life occurrence none the less. This woman decided to comment about my dog’s gas issues by saying that my wife was a baby machine and a writer wannabe. A simple question about published works would have been answered with the names of the books that my wife has written. But instead of an inquiry, my blog was littered with a comment about my wife being a baby machine, (2 kids does not make you a baby machine, it just means that you are getting laid by your HUSBAND).
Now, my wife has quite a few friends in blogland, and I am sure they would not be happy with any of the comments by this woman. But as I have said, this woman will remain nameless, and any future comments by her with be deleted. She does not deserve the attention that she would receive from anyone going to her blog and commenting on her posts. Of course, self absorbed people always find a way to make themselves known. And anyone that knows who I am talking about or has run into this woman before will know exactly who and what I am talking about.
Happy blogging everyone…P
P.S. – I would like to say hi to this woman if she drops by and reads this post…HI!!!!!
