The blogger was stating his political beliefs, which I don't share, so I went to another blog.<br /><br />When I came back later, just being nosey, he was being annihilated with vile comments and disgusting tirades. The worst coming from a woman with only initials to show her true identity.<br /><br />Leave it to me. I barged in, defended the man's right to saw whatever he wanted to say on his blog, and suggested she was pumping way too much testosterone for her own safety.<br /><br />Now the entire lynching party is on MY tail, and I didn't even agree with the post to begin with!<br /><br />lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-81477725643249596502013-09-30T18:49:36.403+01:002013-09-30T18:49:36.403+01:00Hi iver,

I do have the art of admitting I'm wrong learned pretty thoroughly though. <br />I'm also pretty lucky not to have had any trolls visit me. Spammers I've had and if the comments make it onto the blog I just delete them.

And be encouraged by the elders in his tribe to escalate...<br />Somethings I will argue for, and in other instances I will quietly tip-toe away.
