how insulting have people been to you?| 22 Replies: « back 1 2 next » |  Jamie311 JLG Post Count: 4 Msg: #1 1268 days ago, June 16th 2006 | it seems like i get a lot of hate. maybe it isnt a good idea, but i like to make them viewable to the public. i pretty much got the standard "you cant spell" and that i am a "retard". i was told im a bitch because i overall had a good experience in france with meeting people with the exception of a few people (i even stated in a blog how helpful most people are here). this girl was like "i will have you know i didnt meet a rude person there".... jesus. i seriously wonder how on here this girl found me and if she ever says something not mean and personal to anyone else. | BigWes Wesley D Pautsch Post Count: 14 Msg: #2 1267 days ago, June 16th 2006 | most people in here sem nice to me so i say why let a few bad apples put a funky taste in your mouth this might sound like a hippy thing to say but just be happy |  Ali Ali Watters Post Count: 3877 Msg: #3 1267 days ago, June 17th 2006 | I get a few... depends what you write. I visited one city and had a terrible time, some of the people were really nice, but for the most part, rude, overcrowded with terrible terrible traffic. I put down about an equal number of positive and negative experiences down... ended up summing the place up as a "dump" - harsh but in my opinion fair. | The comments from the locals have been incredible ;) - and they wonder why I thought them rude :) I keep them though... even where they get personal. The random nasty comments that you get via the web - just remember - these people do not know you... delete and forget them... take comments from people you know much more seriously :)  Stuart Stuart Morgan Hurlbut Post Count: 116 Msg: #4 1258 days ago, June 26th 2006 | I don't bother printing a lot of comments I get. If they have nothing to say that adds to the blog then I don't see the point in the comment being published. If the comment is making an interesting point I will print it even if it is insulting. But, if they are just 'flaming' for its own sake then I won't print it. The comments that worry me the most though are not those that are mean. Some comments are just plain bizare and odd. Again, I am not printing something that is just plain odd and bizare that I can't understand! |  Lauralee Laura Post Count: 138 Msg: #5 1243 days ago, July 10th 2006 | Hm... I think putting that disclaimer about spelling on your bio should dissuade ignorant readers from putting nasty remarks about your spelling. | I've gotten a few comments. Some pointed out errors in my blog which I quickly corrected. The only one I was slightly annoyed about was a person pointing out that Turkey was not a third-world country as I had claimed in my blog. I agree that I wasn't being politically correct (but who always is in their blog?). I still hold true to my belief that you can drink tap water in developed countries and not worry about getting sick from consuming food that has local water in it (salad, sauces, etc). So my remedy was to go to wikipedia, find out on wikipedia what the correct label for Turkey was, and I put that up along with the link. Random fact: Turkey is considered a developing nation with "an economy consistency and fairly strongly developing over a longer period" :) Oldmate Sean Roberts Post Count: 2 Msg: #6 1242 days ago, July 11th 2006 | I've had a few nasty ones, some of them probably deserved. But they are more than made up for by the random nice ones you get. | Besides, throughout my travels I don't believe there has been a single point that I am absolutely in control of everything: except when I'm in an internet cafe vetting comments! That is the one point in my life I get to play judge, jury and execution. Bring em on! ;) p.s Laralee: Turkey is trying to get into the EU so they are currently PARTICULAR sensitive about their economic status!  CheekyPee Graham P Post Count: 5 Msg: #7 1184 days ago, September 7th 2006 | yeah I got one a few months back. This little nerd read my somewhat tongue-in-cheek account of hiking around Chile's National Parks, presumably didn't notice I wasn't taking the whole thing (or myself) too seriously and he wrote "You have to be one of the lamest individuals I've ever met. You may as well just take a photo of yourself holding up a big sign saying look at me! I'm lame!" | Haha, I was actually a little surprised/upset by it at the time but I'm laughing about it right now! I put it down to too much time for him spent infront of his computer with nothing better to do!  Erik 2006 Erik Aelbers Post Count: 23 Msg: #8 1143 days ago, October 19th 2006 | Reading this I'm suddenly quite happy that random people tend not to leave me comments :) |  jrfromafar JR Post Count: 13 Msg: #9 1100 days ago, December 1st 2006 | I left a comment once, about the irony of people who are dirt poor, and how they cannot even pick up the litter around their houses, sheeze, got lamblasted for not understanding 'genuine poverty'. I wasn't expecting someone saying, 'people like you make me sick'... | don't let the haters win.... titch titch vickers Post Count: 7 Msg: #10 1042 days ago, January 28th 2007 | Most of the comments i get are nice, encouraging ones, i've had one nasty ignorant one which i did respond to, the person concerned was clearly picking off points without actually reading and understanding what i'd written. Generally tho' people are supportive. | [Edited: 08:52 - titch ]  arriana Arriana Bozas Post Count: 1 Msg: #11 1041 days ago, January 28th 2007 | I think that if you get nasty comments you shouldn't really take it personally, as somebody has said before, these people don't know you, and how can you let some random annnoying perosn ruin your life? Never... Whatever they say, if it really is that bad, I'd just ignore it, there are many many lovely shining people in the world, but occasionally you coem across a rotten few, just roll on without them... Anyways, I'm new here, I used to have an acoount but that was ages ago, so Hi to all of you, I hope all my comments are pleasing! Happy travels, and may the sun always shine on you, | Arriana xXx.  Code99 Ward Bounds Post Count: 14 Msg: #12 1012 days ago, February 27th 2007 | Everything's been nice on travelblog but I post sometimes on Lonely Planet Thorntree and more often than not on there, you're going to get some totally unprovoked attacks----regardless of subject matter or how nice you're trying to be. It always amazes me how people will say things to you online that they'd never have the balls to say in person... | Ali Ali Watters Post Count: 3877 Msg: #13 1011 days ago, February 28th 2007 | LP - TT - I've been the victim of some vicious flames there in the past as well! | I think some of the trolls on the TT are paid to be nasty by competing travel forums. Code99 Ward Bounds Post Count: 14 Msg: #14 1010 days ago, March 1st 2007 | If I get attacked on TT and I'm in the mood for it, I do have to admit that its sometimes fun to get in a good fight now and then... |  travel_addicted Alexina & Sarah Post Count: 28 Msg: #15 1003 days ago, March 8th 2007 | Slightly off topic but people on TT scare me. They are so rude to people who ask a question. I can see how it can be frustrating to have people ask the same questions over and over again without doing a search first or people trying to get other people to plan their holidays. However there is clearly a nice way to say "have you tried looking on the board already" without biting off poor people's heads. That totally puts me off posting on TT. | having not started my travels yet I haven't had any nasty comments but I think I already said in my first blog that I wouldn't be posting them which should hopefully put people off making them, although probably not. Also Lauralee a lot of countries are sensitive to the term third world. It's one term that really gets my back up. My parents are from sierra leone which takes poverty into a new level. However despite being classed as third world you can drink the water from the tap :) Code99 Ward Bounds Post Count: 14 Msg: #16 1002 days ago, March 8th 2007 | You're right about the rudeness issue on TT but I'll say its still one of the best places to get 1st person, up to date travel info. You just have to ignore the jerks or give it back to 'em, depending on your mood at the time... | Haley Crystal Haley Crystal Post Count: 2 Msg: #17 988 days ago, March 23rd 2007 | I get a lot of hate comments (not here because I just joined two days ago). I get a lot of nice comments too. | I always speak my mind but I really don't mean to offend anyone. I just want to say the truth. So, I usually delete the comment if it's really insulting and doesn't make sense. Or if it doesn't add value.  Jumanji Banana Lisa Hirschmann Post Count: 8 Msg: #18 950 days ago, April 30th 2007 | let me put it this way, you shouldn't really worry about that, when you write a summary of your trips, it's what you think, not what they think, so why bother??? read it, and if it didn't change your mind about your summary of your trip, then laugh about it, that's what I do.....even though you're probably thinking how a 16 year old could know, I've traveled since before I was born, changed schools more than I went shopping, and well by now I don't give a flying dutchman what people think about my experiences, it's how I see it that matters.....lol |  travellingturts Craig and Kellie Turton Post Count: 6 Msg: #19 940 days ago, May 10th 2007 | geeze, i can't believe we haven't got any negative comments. Some of the things we said about some of the places that we went to were not exactly 'nice', but thats the way we felt at the time. Does that just mean that random people don't read our blogs? | /me is just waiting for you all to read my blogs and leave me lots of hatemail to feel better...LOL [Edited: 08:55 - travellingturts ]  ErinOB Erin OBrien Post Count: 2 Msg: #20 787 days ago, October 10th 2007 | Just got my first hate-message from a random, and felt miserable. But feeling better now I know I'm not the only one. I've had a few nice from strangers, only one vicious one, so I guess those odds aren't too bad? Why do people think they can accuse you of being pretentious, patronizing or whatever, only to leave a message that embodies these traits, with an extra mean bit at the end?? Mine said ...PS. your dog looks like shit. | WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE????? Why do they bother reading in the first place? 22 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | Number of Users: 18 | Number of Posts: 22 22 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
