So guess what?
Yesterday, I “met” Mandi from Vintage Revivals on twitter. I stuck my nose into some tweets about a hateful/mean comment she received, and… well… A New Blog is born.
Within hours, we started My Favorite Hate Mail: where mean comments go to die
It’s an outlet for any of you who get a mean comment and want to get some community support. You can submit that rotten comment, along with what you want to say about it, and we’ll post it so others can see it and weigh in. (And mostly, so that others can see it and we can all make fun of the Anonymous comment on a Public forum.)
As a blogging community we should support the success of other bloggers. As individuals, however, some people get mean, petty and spiteful. They get jealous. They say nasty things and make personal attacks. Not. Cool.
Don’t cower in the face of a mean comment… Don’t just quietly delete it… Bring it on over and lets get the last word.

I can’t believe people will take the time to leave a mean comment. Annoying. The new blog sounds awesome. I think I will go look up your ‘retorts’ as I’m in need of a good laugh. =]
I think this is great! I can’t find your retorts.
Beth at Stories of A to Z posted this on her facebook…and well, you are a funny lady. I’ll be visiting you again! Hope you might pop by sometime and visit me sometime at LifeforDessert…on occasion I have a funny moment as well. For a real good time check out my post called To Pose or Not to Pose…Maternity Pictures. YOu seem like someone who’d appreciate this sort of laugh!
Oh my words. I just said sometime twice in the same sentence. That is a pet peeve of mine too. Please forgive the grammatical annoyance. It was completely accidental!
Oh no…LOL. I’m thinking this will be a fun place to visit!
I cannot imagine EVER leaving a mean comment. Who has the time for that? I haven’t gotten one and if I ever do I know now where to send it! Thanks…~Ann
I keep hearing that many mean comments occur, but I have been lucky enough not to receive any. I think that this is a great idea.
Wow I need a way to transcribe comments about me in real life – THEN I would have something to post!! Good idea! W.C.C.
I am of the Thumper school of communicating. If you can’t say something nice, shut the f— up. I don’t blog to please people. I blog because I need to say something. But I never go on someone else’s blog and say something ugly. I don’t know where they’re coming from. And we each deserve our opinions. The mom who works just showed how much she hates her life. I’m sorry if I offend. I had to say it.
Funny funny funny! What a great idea! I just visited the new blog and it’s hilarious. On a related note, I always try to leave nice comments, but sometimes wonder if in my typing haste I might not translate my thoughts into words very well. I hope I’ve never been one of those jerks.
Where do I sign up?? I wanna play! ๐
“If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say it.” What happened to that?!?!? I would never post a negative comment on someone’s blog! I’m happy to see you and Mandi together though b/c you’re two of my all time favorite blogs! And of course I’ll read the new blog, but I get pretty darn defensive when people I like have something negative said about them!
Just wanted to let you know that I mentioned your blog and your new blog on my blog ๐
This is going to be FUN!!!
That is awesome!!! Can’t stand haters..just can’t.
Oh viv once again you just crack me up! I love it! Mean comments are just MEAN!
I came across your blog from My Favourite Hate Mail – what a great idea! Am looking forward to following you!

This is genius! Dang, I am hoping for some mean comments now so I have something to submit. I love to laugh at people’s snarkiness. I always just tell myself and my kids that people who say mean things are terribly unhappy and we just have to feel sorry for them. (makes me feel all superior for being so happy too)
This is nice information in this blog about sports. i have liked your thought on this information.
