Never been so disappointed in the Nest

LoriFalce · October 2009

One of the Pets board girls left a nasty comment on my blog, because she could do it even more anonymously there than she could on here.

The Pets board thread about another poster's dog bite incident last night was started by Josie22, and my comment was directly for her. After Josie and I worked together on Fran's care package, I don't want to think she would do this, and the comment is in a hateful, biitchy tone that doesn't sound at all like her. I'm not innocent here. My post was rich with sarcasm, but I think this was mean.

An overzealous Nestie reported me to Children and Youth once. I got snail mail about a Nest issue. But this has just floored me. I've been eagerly awaiting my first comment on The Pizza Principle, and I was so excited when I saw that I had one. I was expecting it to be from a Nestie because the post was written just for Larks. This really stung. I'll admit, I'm fighting some pretty overreacty tears at the moment.

*blondiem* · October 2009

Wow. I just saw that.

Don't let it get to you, Lori. I have gotten several anonymous comments on my blog too, and I never wanted to screen my comments, but eventually I went that route. People suck.

Jessibell · October 2009

That chick is an idiot, Lori. Please don't let her get to you.

I responded to her in the thread on the Pets board.

RufflesRambo · October 2009

Lori I didn't realize that blog was new! I actually just checked it out yesterday and thought it was an AWESOME idea. I should have left you a comment because I totally bookmarked it for ideas!

Sorry someone was such a sausage wallet (as a coworker likes to say)

Jessibell · October 2009

I just looked at your blog. The comment was weak. You're better than that!

LoriFalce · October 2009

Oh, I won't screen. If I didn't change my Nest screen name after crazies found me IRL, I'm not going to pack it in because of a pathetic comment online.

I'm just very disappointed.

misjenn · October 2009

Josie was trying to start drama with the OP and it's ridiculous. I am sorry your feelings got hurt Lori. It is incredibly rude and insensitive and whoever wrote it sucks.

CoastieWife08 · October 2009

I'm sorry.

Set your blog so you can't leave anon comments.

102503Natalie · October 2009

I'm sorry. That person is an asshat. I have no idea what's going on with the pet board, but leaving an anonymous response in a blog is extremely cowardly and lame.

Amrice78 · October 2009

Well she just proved the point you made in last night's post

sort of off topic, but not really - when I go to the pizza blog, I only get a list of posts, nothing else, no place to comment, nada, but when I go to your other blog I get the regular blog set up. Weird.

JessMil10 · October 2009

Their posts raise my blood pressure and I am an animal lover. Sorry someone posted a mean comment on your blog.

Hmm. That is weird. I'll admit that I don't know a damn thing about what I'm doing with the page itself. I only have confidence in the writing and the recipes. It sounds like I missed a step someplace, doesn't it?

Argh. Gotta check that out. Thanks a lot for letting me know. I'd have never realized.

Josie22 · October 2009

Yes, I did. I started the drama. If you read the first post I was directing their attention to the "must die" comment. I wasn't thinking about the ridiculous can of worms I was opening. I don't know why I didn't think that would happen.

I've been a petsie since the last time this happened. I love my animals as well as my son. I think they should have good things in life. I think it's irresponsible to let small children be alone with any pet that has any possibility of even growling at a child.

I'm fully aware I am most likely no longer welcome on this board.

What I do find interesting is that you attack your own, (if you read that post was mostly against the killing of the dog), until the Petsies got involved.

or it could be just the way I have it bookmarked. I just clicked the link in your siggy and it looks "normal", but if I go through my bookmarks it's weird - so it looks like the mess up is on my end. I'll re-bookmark it.

Josie22 · October 2009

And I'm extremely sorry someone posted on your blog. That is over the line. and not right.

Josie, I've got no problem with you. As I said, I am fairly certain you aren't an anonymous coward. You've got my email address if you want to get some info to me. Heck, you've even got pics of my kid!

My response had been tongue-in-cheek, but may not have come across that way.

And my issues with this stem from the fact that most of 12-24's certified Pet People, like you, Carolinag, etc., are people I like but disagree with on this issue. The Petsies (nice name there, less hostile than crazy Pets board people) however, are so far removed from everything I think and believe, they might as well be speaking Swahili.

I am bringing this post over to the pet board. Commenting on a blog is really over the line. Someone owes you an apology.

I'm so sorry Lori. I know I had a hand in the post getting really heated last night. I never thought it would get so out of hand that someone would attack you and your blog. Next time I'll just keep my opinions to myself. Sad

Perhaps you should ease up on the XP - since you are the reason this happened in the first place. Just leave it alone and use your brain once in a while...

funchicken · October 2009

I think it's incredibly lame of someone to do that--I'm sorry it happened to you, Lori. I've been meaning to check out your blog because you always seem to be cooking/baking something delicious, and I'm the least creative chef I know Stick out tongue

Josie22, don't be silly. I wasn't involved in last night's drama, but as far as I'm concerned, you're still welcome on the board. I think board grudges are dumb.

I wouldn't go that far Josie. It'll blow over.

Lori - I'm sorry you got a nasty comment. I'm pretty sure I would have cried if anyone ever said something mean on my book blog back when I still wrote on it. It sucks when someone just goes out of their way to be mean for no reason, especially when it attacks something you've been working hard on.

Um, really?? Why don't you just keep your mouth shut here. As if the anonymous person is going to own up to this. Hmm

It is funny this all happened right after the grudge post. But I agree, it is no reason to leave the board. Everything will blow over and people will forget.

I am sure I will go to the pet board every now and then to ask a question. Of course, I make sure to put my dog in my siggy first.

LoriFalce · October 2009

Matto and others- I don't blame anybody on this board for this. Not even Josie. I drew attention because I posted in a thread on that board. That's on me.

Monkeybuttwhat · October 2009

I sent you a PM

carolinag · October 2009

i am so sorry that this happened. i see you mentioned me in this thread, but please know that while i am an extreme pet lover, and have a fair amount of knowledge in this area, i don't condone any of what happened last night, and certainly hate that this happened to you. i spent a fair amount of last night arguing with the pets board... who i feel unfortunately make normal "pet people" look crazy with their bizzaro extremism. the fact that they had to remove this from the nest makes me uncomfortable. i know people take these boards too seriously and mess with real lives from time to time, but i always sort of thought that treatment was reserved for the more controversial nesties, where as you are usually regarded as a witty & wise nestie. i just don't understand people getting so worked up that they have to remove things from the nest/bump.

swedish-fish · October 2009

It's ridiculous for someone to leave a comment like that. I've had my own share on my baby blog - from being called "an overindulgent beeyotch" to DD being called "a pig-faced beast." It's astonishing how cruel people can be behind the face of anonymous.

pea-kay · October 2009

i'm sorry about that.

i just got my first nasty comments on my blog after the blog contest voting got very heated in the multiples category. Huh?

i know it wasn't really personal, but it still stung.

Tess12 · October 2009

Lori--That sucks. Some people need to step away from their computers, go outside, and breathe in the fresh air. Things have been getting way heated on the boards lately.

1MusicMaker · October 2009

I'm so sorry Lori. Noone deserves that, but especially not you. Please delete it from your blog--you don't need to look at that and be reminded every time you go there.

LoriFalce · October 2009

Thanks Tess, and everybody.

And Carolinag, you were only an example of someone on here who is on the other side of the pet issue...not on the other side of sanity as I know it. I don't associate you with Pets board extremism.

I can't. I'm a journalist. My First Amendment ideals are too closely held.

And it's my first comment. Regardless of how ugly it is. I'm weirdly sentimental that way.

Thanks to everybody that commented to make up for it, though. You rock.

KGsky · October 2009

Can't see blogs at work, so I don't know how bad the comment was, but really there is nothing worth crying about on the nest (except really sad stories). Sorry that happened, but just remember: it's just a message board (and I cannot believe you have gotten snail mail re: a nest issue--that is just bizarre)!

lori i'm flattered. also i'm going to have to tell dh that you said i'm sane. now i have proof!!!

fIowerchild · October 2009

Ah, Lori. I'm sorry. This is why I moderate all the comments on mine. My blog is for friends and family, not for ANON idiots to post nasty comments(such a chickenshit way to comment).

But I have to agree with KG - nothing on the Nest is ever worth crying over.

skoorbnibor · October 2009

Here is the thing... I totally disagree with you, Lori, about the dog thing... but that is life, people don't agree... Doesn't mean I lost my love for ya, right?

the blog comment was cowardly.

Oh and how much do I want to try the carrot muffins??? : )

The muffins really do rock. In a light and airy, non-granite-like way.

Jermysgirl · October 2009

The good thing that came out of this is that I found your fun blog and I am SO making the carrot cake muffins. Because it's all about me and my supreme adoration of carrot cake.
