Or so you'd think.
What I really don't understand are "anonymous" commenters. I mean, seriously, why comment at all? You don't have to comment. You can peruse the internet and stalk blogs all the live long day, and I'm sure there are some of you who even read this blog faithfully who never leave a comment. And I'm cool with that, really! That's one reason most of us even spew our blog drivel to begin with....we like knowing that we have an audience. If we wanted to make our blogs private, we would do so. I'm sure there are one or two of you out there who send out an anonymous comment now and then with no other intention than to just add your .02. So be it! Perfectly within your rights. And if I, or any other blogger, wanted to block anonymous comments, we can certainly do so. So far (oh, that would probably be what we might refer to as "foreshadowing") I haven't had any issues with anyone wanting to post maliciously on my site under the umbrella of darkness called "anonymous."
Recently, however, my sweetness and charm was put to the test on my friend Trisha's page. Some illiterate coward decided to take it upon him/herself (who knows which gender it is...it sounds like a girl but it could easily be a man with no balls) to be abusive and outright stupid not only to Trisha, but to her friends who came to her defense. I'm good with you wanting to state your opinion about something, but try and find a little respect first (1.) and (2.) show yourself. Don't regurgitate your venom and call yourself "anonymous", because that's the first step in making sure NO ONE will take you seriously. (Not that we would have anyway...but you'll have that.) This particular douchenozzle was also fond of pointing out how uneducated we all were, all the while misspelling half of what it wrote. Just don't take me there, ok? Because if you're ready to make fun of someone, you better not have a fucking "kick me" sign already posted on your own back.
As for "Ms. Manners", I'm hoping she whimpered off in search of some. I do hate that she made her profile private mid-way through "Blogger Smackdown '09", because it would have been nice to have found her, and made sure her particular brand of "professional advice" was discredited, as it should be.
Do I sound bitter? Who cares. Some people are mean and stupid, and I put up with enough of that shit in my everyday life. I don't have to put up with it here.
Oh, and I kept thinking that even though it was Big Bad Anonymous, I couldn't help but be reminded of someone. Oh yeah........these guys.
Thanks, Efen!

33 Ramble on, y'all....:
Absolutely hilarious!
Damn. I do not know Trisha, but that is some major shizz - I just went to her blog and read the post/comments, etc.. That person is a real idiot, putting it mildy. I am so glad I know all of you. I loved your letter, Elle.
Wow! That was some major dumbassery from anon and Ms. Manners. I sued to get a lot of trolls, but don't anymore. I don't know what I did to run them all off. Sometimes I kinda miss them though. ;-)
Well said, Elle!!
Most of my anonymous commenters will sign off at the end or somehow let me know who they are. Frankly, I think both MM and Anon were the same person in that whole fiasco.
ETW makes a good point. I thought either they were the same person OR they were a regular commenter of Mrs. Wally's who didn't want to make themselves known.
I'm excited about finding Mrs. Wally - just added her to my google reader.
Oh, Elle! How I love you so. Let me count the ways...
I honestly think some of you were more pissed then I was. Ms. Manners really only mildly irritated me. She does have a point. A lot of people in recovery do on to abuse other things. But how can that determination be made from 1 blog post? And isn't that a little unethical if she really has a pysch degree?
An Anonymous, he/she can rot in hell for all I care. They were there for nothing more than to stir the pot. And those of us who are family (and I am going to be checking out a view more of the other blog writers, i already follow Jay) certainly don't need that shit! Like I said in a comment at my page, it is sad when one person makes you change your settings. No more anon comments on my page. I don't think I can take anymore!
Paige: Craziness ensued, fo sho ;)
GiGi: We're glad to know you too :)
Jay: I will admit to having a *bit* of fun with this one.
Momma: Thank you!
ETW: It was just weird all around.
Vino: That makes me happy, 'cause I think you 2 girls will get along famously :)
Trisha: Oh, I'd say you're so right! I did get WAY more pissed off than I normally would have in that situation. It just became so satisfyingly FUN to laugh at the stupidity throughout the day! And I love you too, girl. Way to handle yourself there :)
ETW and vinomom- I wondered about them being the same person as well. But I doubt it because Ms. Manners prides herself on that and she would never stoop to such mean-spiritedness.
As for it being a regular... The same 5-6 people are the only ones who have ever commented until yesterday. So, I think that is out as well.
I'm so glad I found you girl! And to know that you have my back at any time - you ROCK! ;) Now, get your ass down to TEXAS....
Aw, this was classic Elle. Nobody puts it quite like you do. My favorite...the kick me sign comment. When a fight breaks out of my page, I'll be sure to invite you.
All I can say is WTFuckingFuck? Thanks fo the heads up on "Blogger Smackdown '09!" I'm speechless. Really. Me. Speechless. I almost wanted to get a drink and a joint and read all that shit again. For crying out loud. What a dicksmack.
Another Trisha story about drinking..........hummmmm. Do you see a pattern here?
I see a pattern of douchebaggery, but that's about it.
I'll say it here too.
Hey Asshole, I thought we were a pathetic bunch of losers and you were going away ? Stalk much?
Let me see Elle, he keeps coming back for more with Trisha and now your page. Hey Dickhead, go visit Efen would ya....... Your not welcome here.
And J-Fab - Where the hell have you been?
Lat I checked adults were allowed to consume alcohol. Quit stalking my friends asshat!
Oh Gosh, my feelings are so hurt......such bad names and "orders" to get out of here.......whatsa matter - can't take the heat....you did open the conversation with your whiny blog.
It is my page after all, and I will whine whenever the hell I feel like it. So, now that you can't talk shit at my page you have to come harass my friends? How very mature of you. Seriously, go away. None of us have any use for you.
I think "Pat" here was referring to *my* whiny blog. Although...it would have to point out the whiny parts to me. All I saw was statement of fact and my own opinion.
I have to wonder...if you're so concerned about us, why don't you put yourself up for scrutiny as well?
And geez, I called you "Dear" and everything.
Hey Elle....do you really think it's a chick, because asshole left a comment on my blog, even though I told the douche bag I moderate and it won't get through - Ummm, stupid fuck.
1st ROFLMEFENAO @ 'Pat'.. :)
Hey Anonymous Fuckwad: Guess you used 'spellcheck' huh?? C'mon...give us that 'looser' quote again. It's 'loser' you mouth-breathing moron....geez.
While I don't need to come to the aid of Elle (thats pretty obvious), shit like this is what I basically live for.
'Can't stand the heat'...wtf? Seriously...what fuckin heat? Being a major-douche is the only problem your causing.
You've really nothing more than an irritant as well as tiring, boring, and repetitive.
As I said before, if you want to 'debate', come to my page. But I have to warn you, come prepared...cuz if you bring any of your normal 'weak shit'...I'll just delete your ass. I have no patience for 'weak'.....oh, thats right, you post as 'anonymous'..thats already major weak.
Lovin Ya Efen...You get sexier and sexier with each cuss word !!!
Nobody MADE you change your settings - that was your choice. I been trying to come up with a response, but actually find it difficult to sprew forth such drivel while dropping the f-bomb as every other word. Guess I'm just not an "intelligent" as you folks!!
Acknowledgement is the first step!!!
"I been trying..." (that's intelligent)
And my personal fave... "sprew"
You are never going to win here, idiot child.
At least I fit in with the rest of the idiot children yakking on their blogs.
Yeah. You showed them, huh?
I'm bored with you now. Run along.
WTF???? Has anyone noticed that the fuckstick just ignores whatever I had to say?? Like if 'Pat' doesn't acknowledge it...then it doesn't exist.
Oh..wait a minute.....I GET IT! Then its really like I DON'T EXIST!! LOLOL.....'Pat'..that is so clever, so fucking existentialist-like. A neatly laid out syllogism if I ever saw one.
Not too bad for an idiot...huh?
I have another big word for ya..'Fuckyouyoufuckingfuck'
Has a nice ring to it, don't ya think?
Wow... I've missed a lot. I don't understand why people have to go to other blogs and start shit. Are their lives so boring that they have to come out to other "boring" people and try to make themselves feel better by claiming superiority. It's about friendship out here. If you don't want friends just continue the way you are and if you do then you need to brush up on your people skills.
Wow, she what I get for letting Wally have the computer last night! Whatta collasal douche! 'Pat' never did respond to Efen, huh. Only continues to attack me. Nice!
As much as I wanted it to go on and on and on forever....I made an executive decision and blocked anonymous comments. *sniff* I know, don't be mad at me. It kept me up all of a minute last night. But it had to be done.
Let's all raise our glasses, and have a toast (as that would be appropriate, wouldn't it?) to Pat, languishing in It's momma's basement, living vicariously through the internet and a few old Hustlers It found behind the washing machine....and say our fond farewell.

Buh Bye.
Hey you're nobody until you get a troll, right? I had one a while back, but they only posted 1 comment and left. I barely noticed them. They must have been new to trolling because they posted it on a really old post. I guess that means I'm a nobody. Crap.
i hate it when people do that crap
