Is It Expected?
The blog question for the day is asking about people who leave rude comments on someone’s blog. Is it expected?
I don’t think rudeness is ever ‘expected’ nor is it acceptable. Knowing that I would be mortified if any child of mine did such a thing – I see it as a situation where either the person’s mother failed to teach her better, or her mother did teach her better, and she is disrespecting her mother by doing so anyway. I say “she” because statistically it is females who hide in the shadows and do such hurtful things. Men tend to be more aggresive and will hurt people physically – when they intend to cause pain. People who hurt others just for fun, or for the thrill have issues. And since, in the big picture, these people are rarely well-adjusted, happy, successful people – I tend to brush off their activities as the actions of people who are hurting themselves. So I don’t take offense, nor am I shocked – just saddened.
(PS – Yes, sorry, I did go to graduate school for Clinical Psychology)

It’s true though. It is too bad that some people feel the need to be nasty to others and hide in the shadows.

I agree…it is definitely not expected or ever OK to be rude. I have been lucky and haven’t had any comments like that. Sure hope never to get them.
