joannqn Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 This comment was posted to my blog today. I know somewhere in this world there is someone who is more of a pretentious ***t than you are, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out where I would find that person. Oh well. At least you keep me amused at WTM. I thought it was just a nice, lovely comment. Is everyone from Beckley, WV so pleasant? Fortunately, I understand that plenty of people disagree with you and that most people have the common decency to keep these kinds of opinions to themselves. Have a lovely day Anonymous!

T'smom Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I think they only have to look in the mirror to find that person! Sorry you had to deal with this today. I've seen you post on here enough to 'recognize' you and I think that you are a perfectly lovely person. Try not to give that comment another thought.

newlifemom Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Wow JoAnn. I am so sorry. I hope you deleted that. People are strange. FTR, both Hannah and I enjoy your blog, although she reads it more often than I do. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xuzi Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Maybe I'm wierd, but these types of blog comments always give me a chuckle. :tongue_smilie: She's trying *so* hard to offend you. It reminds me of those childhood sibling arguments where one sibling tries to come up with something "nasty" to say to the other sibling, and the best they can come up with is "poopy head".

DaffodilDreams Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Sorry for the rude comment. I've never seen anything "off" from you on these boards. IMO, you're a valuable resource here, and I look forward to reading your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnTeaching Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Rude and beyond comprehension.

joannqn Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I did delete it. I don't allow bad language, even bleeped out, on my blog or Facebook page. That's mostly because I know that there are kids that read it, including my own. Some of your replies have made me laugh, though. They read my earlier post about making a ruckus at the pediatricians office, followed that to my blog, read several pages of my blog until they found a post about our recent decision to go ahead with tetanus vaccination for our kids, and posted the comment there.

StephanieZ Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 WOW! What a nasty person! No, most people from WV are not like that!! Beckley is actually a lovely area, despite being in the boonies (like most of WV, lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usetoschool Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) I went to your blog and, after looking at all of the beautiful flower pictures, scrolled down to the vaccination post and starting laughing because it is such an innocent post. Cracks me up, literally, what people find to get snotty about. I generally think they are just snotty people looking for an outlet.

joannqn Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 My apologies to West Virginia. I believe their ISP provider has an office there. Another stat counter that provides more information has the commenter located in Birmingham, Alabama. Apparently, they spent some time reading the most controversial of my blog posts written two and three years ago. Those were a bit pretentious.
