I'm sure I've fired off a couple of gems in my day but nothing pointless; if I don't like something why would I spend my time telling the blogger that? If it's a topic I care about I might get irritated and it probably shows as I try to present my view, but I can't imagine coming onto someone's blog just to tell them how wrong they are. What's the point?<br /><br />Cameo, it still cracks me up that we know each other better from online than we did through (five?) years of college!<br /><br />Caitlin, your words humble me.

I feel the same way with my...Aw, I love this post. I feel the same way with my own little attempt at blogging. It's given me the ability to connect with a lot of wonderful people who share my passions and I really cherish that. I feel lucky in that I've only ever had two negative experiences with commenters - once from a commenter who said I wrote something "idiotic" but then quickly apologized after called on it, and once from someone I've known for several years who kind of makes a hobby out of arguing pedantically on the internet. But as far as what I've seen with the #mencallmethings tag? I have been blessed to have dodged all of that thus far. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad that you are out here blogging about beauty from a critical, feminist perspective. It's a subject that needs to be looked at critically, because it exercises so much power over the way we interact with ourselves and each other, and you do a wonderful job of doing so with intelligence and sensitivity. The internet is a better place because of you!Caitlinhttp://fitandfeminist.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689865906513225949.post-11139460837009281922011-11-24T11:25:23.369-05:002011-11-24T11:25:23.369-05:00Aw, Thank YOU!

If I'm looking at a blog with photos of the blogger and I happen to think she's looking less than fabulous, I don't see what I would achieve by leaving her a nasty comment telling her how awful she looks. I wouldn't feel better, she wouldn't feel better - and the photo definitely wouldn't look any better. When I first started blogging I got comments saying that I should "throw yourself off a bridge to spare us the ridiculous s**t you write. Or at least be ashamed of yourself."(this in a post of me preparing for a trip to London and things I wanted to see there...still have no idea what made this reader so angry about that particular post). I write a lot about animal cruelty in fashion and I've had some less than nice comments on my anti-fur posts in the past as well. But overall I would say people have been nice to me as a blogger and being that I have much fewer readers now than I used to, I find that they're almost always nice. <br /><br />But why is it that the nine out of ten nasty comments come from an "Anonymous" reader??Saschahttp://www.coffee-and-heels.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689865906513225949.post-34584373858437659142011-11-23T18:34:11.239-05:002011-11-23T18:34:11.239-05:00ModernSauce, heh!

If someone is invested enough in what I'm saying to want to harass me, they may actually just wind up contributing to the conversation. In any case, thank you for your kind words--and, of course, thank you for reading.<br /><br />Courtney, thank you! Putting up our private lives for public inspection is an odd place to be in. It's funny, as open as I am on here I feel oddly separated from whatever someone might say about me as a person--of course, since I've only rarely been trolled, this is easy for me to say. (Every so often someone will be nasty to one of my interviewees, and that's when my mama bear comes out.)<br /><br />Erin, you can't see, but I'm saying neiner-neiner and running way, SO THERE.<br /><br />Rebekah, I can't remember what post it was but somebody was just ever so slightly unkind to me here once, and it was awesome yet unsurprising that you were able to defend me before I was able to do so myself! As for not being ready for "prime time," I had a good long talk with myself about that before I launched The Beheld. Not that I'm on prime time (more like cable access), but this is the first blog I've had for which I've actively tried to find readers. And while I was afraid of what I mentioned above, I also had to sort of promise myself that I wouldn't let any of that get to me. And for once, it worked--even when people were totally mean about my face on AOL, it really didn't bother me. I'm certain that soon enough there will be comments that get me where it hurts, but the point is that since I'd prepared myself for it, my shield remains intact. If you decide to actively "recruit" readers I'd be happy to let you in on my awesome armor secrets.Autumn Whitefield-Madranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379314479257695986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689865906513225949.post-86080664609932857052011-11-23T11:56:13.296-05:002011-11-23T11:56:13.296-05:00This is my favorite blog; if trolls come a'kno...This is my favorite blog; if trolls come a'knockin', they'll have to answer to ME. <br /><br />I think high traffic blogs are most susceptible to trolls; once people see you as a "public figure," they forget you have feelings. Or maybe they seeing supportive comments by the hundred brings out their contrary side, and they feel compelled to stir up controversy.<br /><br />Sometimes I think I should work harder to make my blog a "success," but then I remember being crushed by the one nasty comment I've received--- not ready for prime time!Rebekah R.

I got mostly nice comments, but also several mean ones and others that genuinely sparked debate. I still remember the mean ones, which I won't repeat here. Also, I should note that some of the mean ones were my own fault. <br /><br />That being said, out of the 10 years I've been blogging, there's maybe 10 comments I actually remember as, "Wow, that person is an asshole." That's about one a year and not too bad if you ask me.<br /><br />With public blogging (most of my blogging life has been on LiveJournal privately), I do have up many many MANY walls. There's A LOT I don't share by choice. I talk about myself, but my blog mostly isn't inherently about me. <br /><br />I guess, that's also another defense mechanism against meanness, but mostly it's a desire to maintain my privacy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703150053201639138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689865906513225949.post-9891835449708196002011-11-23T09:46:44.559-05:002011-11-23T09:46:44.559-05:00I would guess you are spared many a hateful commen...I would guess you are spared many a hateful comment because the close-minded ignorant person who would make such a comment probably has a hard time finishing your insightful posts. ; )<br /><br />I started reading you because #1 I think it's courageous to talk about these things - your own attractiveness, how you feel about it, etc. and I appreciate your honesty. #2 I don't think you present your posts as the definitive answer on beauty, but someone who is starting a conversation about beauty, exploring it and figuring things out along the way. Just like the rest of us. Just more eloquently. ; ) It's hard to hate on someone for that. <br /><br />Thanks for having a place where we can have a good conversation!ModernSaucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993930835985764220noreply@blogger.com
