I have commented on some things but can guarantee if that person was in a room with a bunch of Texans going through this particular summer they would have never said one word out loud much less been stupid enough to say that we deserve to die in the heat. Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand Maria and sometimes it is a way to get their 15 minutes of fame by inflammatory online comments. After all think about it, you shared right so that means they won and got noticed.<br /><br />Congrats on a wonderful blog tour for your Indie debut and please keep yourself out of the worst of our lovely summer weather, when we ever do cool off we will be wishing for some of it to come back I bet.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181111718630957098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-31759917580911938862011-08-09T11:11:33.383-05:002011-08-09T11:11:33.383-05:00Dru: People have too much entitlement going on.

Even if the person's name is on it (tho it usually is something more vague) I think they feel the buffer of the internet allows them to be rude and hurtful. And if something is the least controvertial, the comments degrade quickly.<br /><br />Congrats again on the Indie Road Show.

But like watching a train wreck, I can't help it. The political stuff is so full of Libtard this, Rethug that...and this is the crap that isn't too harsh. The gift of anonymity has brought a curse all it's own. Most of the people who post these hateful comments would only say it in the presence of others they know feel and think the same. Yet that's the part that's almost as frightening. One moment, you're having lunch and laughing with someone only for that person to hop on the internet and post some hateful comment about someone or something just like you.
