As I said, I've had a few "brushes" with keyboard warriors - I even met a guy from a message board who had hurled a torrent of abuse dismissing my opinion - and guess what? He was as nice as pie but admitted to being a "wind up merchant". I can't do that. If I have something bad to say I prefer not to say it. I wish certain other folks were more like that.<br /><br />Thanks for another great comment.<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-73502449899009905382011-08-02T21:47:32.364+01:002011-08-02T21:47:32.364+01:00I am really rather fond of your blog.

I have a long reading list so I don't get around to reading every blog post but every time I do, I have to say that your writing style is so natural and relaxed and your observations are so clever that I rarely notice minor details like grammar mistakes. <br /><br />As far as the keyboard warriors, aren't they simply an example of frustrated angry people who suddenly find themselves able to spew their own special brand of carbolic acid at people without any repercussions and without taking any responsibility for the remarks? All "faceless" people tend to be dangerous. <br /><br />If, for some reason, you wish to see the grimy smelly underbelly of humanity, just stop in at any comment section of a news site, like CNN or Huffington Post. I had, on several occasions, had people jumping down my throat about something I had written, only to come back and acknowledge that my opinion was exactly the same as theirs!Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686282358562565742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-2281371808073448722010-06-07T20:16:55.965+01:002010-06-07T20:16:55.965+01:00Hi drb,

I don't.<br /><br />Anyway, the best thing to do is shame them or ignore them and, most important of all, do not let them stop you doing what you are doing. They don't have the right to do that.<br /><br />Keep on blogging Bingkee.<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-48689113269321162802010-05-22T19:43:00.942+01:002010-05-22T19:43:00.942+01:00Oh I must add, those people like the keyboard warr...Oh I must add, those people like the keyboard warriors comment as if they are the right----when they did not understand what you had posted.<br />Clearly, most of my "bashers" do not understand my post---because they don't read the whole thing or read more than what it is written (meaning, read something that is not there and therefore , they add something to it from their imagination), and also because they just read the blog title or the post title......and they conclude.<br />Recently, I must presume that you read it in my blog , I had encountered a keyboard warrior who posted a whole article about my comment . "As for me , my reading tip is read and read---it does improve writing." He did not agree with my comment and posted a whole new article about it telling his readers that "reading only teaches plagiarism" and bashing me for my comment. What was mean about my comment? What was wrong with it? So I posted another comment that he should not be harsh on me because I am entitled to my own comment and that my comment was just a suggestion, a writing tip.<br />Then he posted another article again , this time dedicating the whole post in attacking me calling me a backstabber. Me? A backstabber? I'd been dissed and hated because I say what I want to say openly and now I'm a backstabber????Hahahhaah! I learned that the author is a Malaysian 60 year old single (never been married ) man. He acts like he's 12.

One even posted comments on 2 of my posts----saying I have bad grammar, and then another comment saying that "I can blog anyway as much as I want to " because it's the internet anyway.....I was more amused than pissed because it not shows how dumb he is , but also because his comments reflect his "angry, mean, hostile nature".....<br />So many, many, that I had blocked 45 ISP's meaning. <br />At first, I used to cry, and got down in the dumps but in the end, I learned how to deal with it. <br />You are right---people like them are not only "miserable and dumb" but "cowards."<br />But now I like the attention and time they pour on to me-----imagine, they spend time on me while trying to tell me they hate me......hahahahahbingkeehttp://www.ilovehateamerica.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-55714849307165666032010-05-22T18:25:43.834+01:002010-05-22T18:25:43.834+01:00Hi Andy,

As I read the comments it struck me that anyone who had something constructive to offer to the topic was using a real name. Anyone who was making a personal attack on the author (who was not at all at fault) was hiding behind a pseudonym.<br />As you say, these people are cowards. They can bully and attack with no fear of retribution, often hiding behind that American vehicle of bigotry "free speech" while trying to deny that right to others.<br />The Keyboard Warrior is a total arse!
