There is always an antagonist.
I was checking out comments on my guest post (because I'm obsessed with what people thought about it) at Skinny Meg and I saw this:
Normally I wouldn't respond to this because I don't feel like she really has a question or wants help but is just being antagonistic and focused on technicalities. And technically a pound of fat and a pound of muscle weigh just that. One pound. But guess what. A square inch of muscle weighs a whole lot more than a square inch of fat. Therefore muscle does weigh more than fat. People don't need to stop saying that. It's all about how you look at it. The thing is, she knows exactly what I meant. So why comment? I'm just sayin.' Okay... end rant. But thanks for saying my piano is cute!
I really do appreciate all of your comments and legit questions. So feel free to ask anything. I won't post it with a big paragraph negating what you say... unless you're being a smart aleck.
Thats just frustrating... You were trying to make a point and she clearly understood what you meant.. Why do people have to say rude things?! Ugh.
ReplyDeleteBut Kelli, this is the internet. I can say whatever I want with no consequences, right? (she says sarcastically)
ReplyDeleteEh, some people just invent stuff to complain about. Mean comments say more about the commenter than the blogger.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I'm a new follower and this cracked me up!! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteFunny! Congrats. You've made it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be 150lbs of muscle instead of 150lbs of fat. :)
ReplyDeletei hate people like that! we allll knew what you meant! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so lame when people take the time to be nasty. Get a life. We all know what you meant!
ReplyDeleteYou did great. Some people are rule followers and have an extremely difficult time tolerating what they perceive as inaccuracies. They see things very much in black and white. Trust me, I have a kid like that. Imagine being corrected by a six year old, repeatedly. Yes, I am working on helping him be more tactful and tolerant. Hang in there. You're doing fine.
ReplyDeleteGood job handling an annoying situation :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a rotten apple in every bunch...
ReplyDeleteI agree. I am sure, there were better ways to enlighten us. Appreciate your concern.
ReplyDeleteHey Kelli, I had to chuckle when I read this post - because I have this theory that a blogger knows she's "arrived" when she receives rude comments. So . . . this is a good sign! You are in great company! {But not me - I'm still waiting for that first snide remark. Anyone??? Ha ha} I saw you at BYB & I'm popping by your great blog to say "hello". It was really nice to meet you & I hope to see you again soon.

Okay, I'm so not a weight person. I have such a problem (personally . . . you can do whatever you want) with weight goals. I'm 5'10''. I have fat on my body. I work out like crazy because I love it and it makes me sane, not to get to a weight goal. So after my 2nd baby I got down to like 135-140, which is tiny for me. I have a figure, for heaven's sake!! It was fun and cool to be that weight, but all I ever did was cardio with an itty bitty amount of weights. After my 3rd baby I discovered RIPPED (which is the aerobics class I teach currently). I. Heart. RIPPED. It's lots of weights. My back, shoulders, and arms are freaking awesome. They have NEVER been like this. And I weight 165 lbs. I wear a size 9 pants at 5'10'', which is the same size I wore after baby numero dos. I just look better in them now. I agree with your post. That's what this insanely long comment means. I'm just being a total judge, jury, and executioner here, but maybe that commenter sits around looking for things she can be contrary about :)
ReplyDeleteLove you, Kelli!!
I am glad that you did a guest post on Meg's blog, because now I found a great new blog to read.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why people have to be rude... Guess it's just in their bones.
Don't let it bother you!
