I was just checking out a site I’d never seen called The Slope Via The Lake and I came across this:
Annoying Lady: Apparently I am not the only one who finds Smartmom (local Park Slope columnist and blogger) incredibly annoying…
Nice.
Ouch. I’m so sorry. It’s amazing how nasty people can be. I think you’re lovely.

Except for someone’s remembering Car 54, those comments sound as coming from the very young (or did they just order the child’s portion at the Good Sense Diner?) You have two choices: wait them out–maybe they’ll mature–or just defenestrate the lot of ’em and carry on.

yes, that was some nasty stuff – But they got off you fairly quickly – They even had some nasty things to say about me – actually kind of funny too. they also “ragged” on the editor of the Park Slope Reader. But he took it all well… Asked them to write letters to the editor etc. The blog world can be so nasty and annoying.
