For every rude, obnoxious, uncalled for comment there are hundreds of readers who take the time to leave a word of encouragement, or a lovely compliment on millions of posts around the inter-web. Never let the naysayers discourage you or get you down. You, your work and your site are loved, respected and admired by many. Remember that the next time one of the rude comments appear and smile with confidence as you hit delete.Paulahttp://www.vanillabeanbaker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197184171948734456.post-13239723925943941842013-07-09T02:01:50.662-05:002013-07-09T02:01:50.662-05:00If you're old fashioned than I must be too.

It never ceases to amaze me how rude people can be when hidden behind their computer screens. These types must lead very sad, pathetic little lives to get pleasure in attempting to make others feel as miserable as they do.

I am always encouraging women in our business to have tougher skin, however there is a line that is crossed when someone comes into your house ( Your blog) and rather than offer constructive critique, or a solution, they opt to be rude. At the end of the day this is how I see it. The comment speaks far more about them than it does about you. Unfortunately, women can be very snarky, especially when they feel a smidgen threatened by someone else's talent. I think we should all support each other. We all have different gifts and bring different things to the table. An etiquette book would not hurt those people either, but then again, they would not be the type to even bother anyway ..LOL Thank you for the post and for sharing :)Aymee VanDykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362490151605044409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197184171948734456.post-82272521515810980632013-07-05T11:55:24.053-05:002013-07-05T11:55:24.053-05:00Thank you so much for the wonderful post!

It never occurs to me to comment when I don't like something, because I don't want to look like a hag. (See? I could've used a different word, a not-so-nice word, a bleep-it-out word. But was it necessary? Oh, no, it was not.)<br /><br />I think you are more than kind to share your ideas, designs, recipes, and thoughts with all of us - and also pictures of your sweet little ones. (BIG hint.)

It amazes & inspires me that you, and all the other wonderful people in the cookie community are so willing to share your talent, knowledge, experience, & resources with all of us "cookie rookies". Not to mention the time, effort, dedication, & commitment that it takes to make this information available to us. Why anyone would criticize someone who is sharing this wonderful gift is beyond my understanding.

The majority of people would never say in person what they write and there in lies the problem. I was a lawyer for 10 years before I starting making cookies full time and my golden rule (a slightly different one to yours) is that if you can't say it to a judge in a courtroom, you don't say it. Or write it...... Don't make excuses and apologise for yourself, you are a simply fabulous artist and the terrible & nasty comments are a reflection on the people who wrote them, not you!

As for that comment, you are being quite kind and gracious to say that it was a 'little impolite'. I am aghast that was written. As always, your graciousness shows through. I am with you on the whole "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Life is too short for such unpleasantness and after all, your blog and videos are about beauty, creativity and helping others. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624066413041061062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197184171948734456.post-85775927201573810022013-07-03T12:57:18.717-05:002013-07-03T12:57:18.717-05:00Ali,
