I can’t get over this comment. I think I love it. It’s so mean, when I first saw it, it gave me a sick feeling. Then I read it over a few more times and I started falling in love with it because of its peculiar illogic and unintentional humor. I couldn’t bring myself to delete it out of my admin panel even though I never let it go through on the blog. I moderate comments to some degree in order to keep nutballs from interfering with my happy place. I like my blog to be a happy place. I don’t, intentionally, post anything to offend anyone. I like to celebrate what is beautiful. And yet, sometimes, some people leave nasty comments. I usually just hit the Delete button. But with this one, I couldn’t hit Delete. I didn’t let the comment go through to the blog, but I saved it. I think it’s my favorite mean comment ever!!!!
And now you know–if you post a “really good” mean comment, some day, I might post it and along with it your IP address and email address. Maybe I’ll create a Hall of Honor!
Here it is (and this comment is from December, right after I launched my new blog design, so the “ugly” he’s referring to is my current blog design):
Brad Pitt | stupidperson@gmail.com | whogivesashit.com | IP: 67.142.130.27
it’s ugly really really ugly. You should probably just go ahead and shoot yourself because it is that ugly. Oh and by the way you are stupid. You cannot be a farmer because you are that stupid. You cannot can food because you forget how to can food properly so that you don’t get food poisoning. But you know forget that I said that. Stupid people deserve food poisoning.
God Bless.

OHMYGOD! First of all, it’s from BRAD PITT!!! Wow, Angelina must have been really mean that day cuz he was in a bad mood!
Now let’s analyze what is really so fun and illogical about this comment. They posted their email address as from “stupidperson” I figure this isn’t a real email address, but if any of you want to email BRAD PITT (!!!) there it is, go for it. By using this as their email address, they basically call themselves stupid, then go on in the comment to tell me how stupid I am. I’m stupid, too stupid to be a farmer, I should shoot myself, and if I don’t do that, hopefully I’ll die of food poisoning.
But the best part is when they sign off with God Bless. Maybe, maybe, the whole comment wouldn’t fascinate me so much if it didn’t end with God Bless. It’s the coup de gras, the cherry on top, the hilarity of the entire piece.
And it’s from BRAD PITT!! Don’t forget that part.
Then I think, what is so weird about me that I love to hate this comment and can’t quite let it go?

But, seriously? Brad Pitt!! needs to get a life, because the poor guy is headed for an ulcer or heart attack. Or, hey, food poisoning.
FWIW, I love the new blog and made grandmother bread a couple of weeks ago. Yum. I even posted the link on my blog, and another friend swiped it and made the bread.
No food poisoning here. Yet.
Happy Easter!

You’re such a sweetheart, maybe you’re feeling sorry for Mr. “Pitt” (interesting choice of name. . .) in his self-misery and that’s why you can’t let his comment go.

This is my first time commenting but I read your blog everyday and love it and YOU. You make me SMILE and isn’t that what life is all about?! I love animals and nature and would love to live on a farm. Because that is not possible right now I enjoy hearing about your experiences. Thanks for sharing!
Brad’s comments made me laugh and then they made me sad. Especially because he included God in the mix. Our God is loving and I’m sure it broke his heart to see those words. I’m going to pray for Brad today. He needs it.
Stay in your happy place Suzanne and thanks for brightening my days! Your family is beautiful!

P.S. What’s the update on 52? Dish girl dish….

I’ve seen things on the news about people talking trash about others. Unless a person gets on some sort of soap box that invites other’s views, you should never comment like this person did. If you can’t type something good, don’t type anything at all, and stay away from the blog.
If you ask my opinion, I may give it, but never in an ugly manner.
Personally, I like the way your blog looks.

I don’t get many comments on my blog and I haven’t had a mean one yet. I’m either well protected or so far off the radar I’m not worth the effort and I even post the occasional controversial writing.
Oh well! I hope you and the kids have a great easter. We’re supposed to get more snow or rain or something today. It’s that time of year when nature gets confused, and so do we! :weather:

I think you’re a fabulous inspiration! As do the majority of the group here.
Like you, like the background, like the tips! I’m so glad you know better than to take those mean comments to heart and do not give them the attention they crave. It’s a major buzzkill to see people go bananas on comment forums.
This is a happy place for me – Thank you for that!
Happy Easter!

This kind of comment says a lot more about the person leaving the comment than the subject of his rant. Some people need to get a life (and mind their own business). It’s good for a laugh, though.

I’m also a Roane County farm “girl” (returning to my roots after living out of state 20+ years) and have thoroughly enjoyed being back. I recently discovered your blog while reading the article in the County newspaper and have thoroughly enjoyed reading about you, your family, farm, home, recipes, 52, etc., etc., etc. ever since. Happy Easter to you and your family!

Anyway I love your new house and look forward to your blogs on your garden and etc!!!
Happy Easter to your family and you.

I don’t think I’ve ever commented here before, but I absolutely love this blog. You bring a smile to my day, and I’ve loved following the progress of your new home!

But this?
Pfftt. It’s nothing worthy of any regard at all!

Having self-identified him/herself as a “Stupid Person” in the email address is also like a pre-emptive apology for what comes after (because, after all, it comes from “stupidperson”).
Thanks for your blog. I start every day checking on your adventures. I’ve always wanted chickens and love the IDEA of a farm but am way too lazy to do it myself.

What a shame that someone doesn’t have anything better to do than try to hurt someone they probably don’t even know…someone who IS succeeding at seeing a life-long dream acutally come true!
Well, maybe THAT’S the rub…they want someone to HAND them the dream instead of working hard and reaping the rewards.
So, Suzanne, happy Resurrection Day and blessings from Ohio…

“Okay. So you’re Brad Pitt. That don’t impress me much.” LOL!
And the love/hate thing (yours and “Brad’s”)made me think of that country song by Jack Ingram called “Love You”…where he replaces every use of the F word with Love. If you aren’t listening the first time you hear it, you don’t realize what he’s saying. Twisted and funny. LOVE YOU, Brad!!!
I also just wanted to say I love your blog’s “face”. I think it’s homey and comfortable and country. Just what I like. :rockon: And trolls like the one that hit you are everywhere. One even took the time to tell my young dd how horribly UGLY her snowflake was on a virtual snowflake website (popular front dot com) where there are over 6 million to choose from! That musta kept ‘em busy for awhile!! Some people are just pathetic & hate themselves & have nothing better to do than try to make someone else feel crappy. I have a sil who’s like this. Why they enjoy hearing the sound of their own heart shriveling up…who can say. Be glad you only had to meet this one in fonts instead of in person.
Stay true to yourself and let the slime slide.

There are some people out there who delight in being a buzz kill. It’s sad and funny and a little scary knowing someone else delights in taking away another’s joy.
I think if we all ignore them for long enough, they eventually implode and are reincarnated as kitty litter.

Yeah, they can trace it to the home/office by the IP addy. I owned a forum for six years and began sending info to the ISPs. I figured if they were getting several complaints about the same people then they’d do something about it.
Do a search on ip address lookup and you’ll get some info. One quick check showed: Newark, OH. That may not be the actual town, but one near them. Regardless the ISP knows the exact location.

I come very day to read what’s new, and I poke around in the archives, and have a great time reading. You are my morning newspaper. You have strengthened a strong desire I possess to leave the city and try taking care of myself on a small farm.
The thing with idiots, as you know, is that the more attention you pay them, the more they act up. I keep an image in my mind of an overweight, middleaged, miserable, socially challenged twit, sitting at a computer in the dark in his parent’s basement, dropping in on various sites, leaving little look-at-me tidbits scattered around, and then waiting for someone to pick them up… and then I just refuse to react, other than to delete, report if possible, and move on.
Anyway, that’s what works for me.
Please keep writing. I do enjoy the read!
