Sometimes I think I must not get it at all.

And by ‘IT’, I mean some people and their truly special brand of nastiness.

I blog because I like to.  I like to share, and love it when people share back.

I just never imagined that ‘sharing’ to some is more like ‘spreading-the-most-disturbing kind-of-evil-you-can-think-of’.

Let me explain.  I have never had a serious hate comment (please don’t start now). But I’ve heard some bloggers talk about closing comments, crying at their desks, etc because the hatred gets out of hand.  And I just saw it happen.

I visited Dooce.  You know her, right?  I don’t know her very well…just stop by every now and again.  Tonight she was talking about getting an unscheduled ultrasound because the doctors had determined her belly hadn’t grown enough.

You know and I know – that hearing ANYTHING might be amiss in your pregnancy is terrifying.  The ultrasound proved things are hunky-dory, but as I was reading through some of the comments, most of them filled with well-wishes, there was one, posted Anonymously, (naturally – you coward) that really stuck out:

Too bad. I am still hoping something horrible happens to that troll fetus inside of you. What is it like having such a hideous daughter? I wonder what she’s going to do when all the kids start picking on her for being ugly? Ugh. It’s so disgusting you are bringing another creature into the world. Don’t end up in the looney bin this time. LOL

Ok…seriously….is the ‘LOL’ meant to indicate the venom was a joke? Who actually THINKS something like that about someone, let alone, sits them self down at a computer and TYPES it out, letter by letter. Who calls a child ugly?

Look, I get it.  I’ve read some of the opinions on Dooce, but even if you disagree with every flippin’ word that comes out of her mouth, (and if you do, why are you reading???)do you really wish her and her baby HARM?  Do you really direct hatred at a young girl? Can that possibly be real?

I mean, SERIOUSLY??!!?? I’m baffled.

    That is just sick! If nothing else appreciate each other for what we are doing in this great community of women.

    I totally think some people skipped the day in life when you learn, “If you do not have anything nice to say then say anything at all.”

    It is hurtful and simplu unCLASSY! Great post!

    Wishing harm on someone’s unborn baby is just digusting. Absolutely disgusting.

    It is truly sad people can be so rotten. There is no need for it. We are all equal in the eys of God, will be a glorious day when that fact is finally realized.

    Spewing filth like that is verbal assault. Like you said, if you don’t like her- don’t read her blog. But, NOTHING gives someone the right to talk like that about an innocent child. What a coward! Good for you for taking note!

    My dad sums it up best. People act online in a way they would never act in real life. If someone has to go online to act that way, imagine what hatred they are hiding in real life. It’s sad and pathetic!!!

    I don’t know Becca – have you watched Maury lately? Some people act pretty vile in person too.

    It’s horrifying to say the least :(

    Oh my gosh! I could not imagine. That is lower than low .. I can not believe someone would say such a thing and intend harm to a child, a helpless child … and a fetus, a helpless unborn child. Not to mention when we are pregnant we are way more prone to emotional disaster. I do not know dooce but gosh I am feeling for her. That is just plain horrible!!!

    That is just pure evil and absolutely disgusting. No one under any circumstance should ever put down a child or an unborn child for that matter. It’s sickening and vile…ugh!
