Sometimes I think some of these people get a bad batch of kool-ade or something? There are a couple of bloggers I used to regularly visit who seem to have had a nervous breakdown or something because all they can do is attack for no apparent reason.
For the record, I'm glad you have your principles and stick to them. I'm never going to be a "Super Blogger" but I think what I do produce improves because of what I learn from fellow bloggers like you.

Stupicide - I love it. I will try and remember to use it sometime (and give you credit for it of course. It does sum up nicely what comments like this do to the reputation of a blogger. To be successful you need to develop respect and trust in your readers. Disagreement is fine if you have a valid point and phrase it in a way that does not offend - constructive criticism and not "suicism"!
Have not forgotten that post - been saying this for months I know - life has been busy.

Thanks ... RE: "Death by STUPICIDE"
It seemed appropriate under the circumstances. I came up with the term years ago and it seems to have taken off.
Glad to see you around here again Sue. Enjoy!

Dufus! hey watch the language buddy this is a family blog...
Trolls are trolls and appear to be immortal. What i'm really sorry to hear about is the fact that one was a friend; that's just wrong no matter how it's sliced.
The (funny?) thing is, you know nutbar will eventually drop the geek who in turn will then try to come crying back to you...stand firm my man.
This is an awesome list though, which I will be swiping, hehe, but not to fret!
I never swipe full details and include at lease 2 link-backs; beginning and end ;)
Man you should of named names I was searching my mental database thank God I don't know chumps like that. I'm lucky that alof of women come to my blog. In fact I wrote a post as to why women are better bloggers and friends. Anyway I'm sure I'll have to deal with clowns like this soon enough.
Any blogger that doesn't support another blogger or goes out of their way to rain on someone's parade is a jerk. I try to avoid jerks :)
Great blog and info stumbled

most of my haters come from online communities and have really good blogs. i dont take it seriously so i kinda just avoid the places where the water is tainted
My philosophy is when I see dog poop on the road ... I walk around it. It's served me well in my online travels.

Why are people so creepy and paranoid, if he didn't want people to comment, why would he enable comments. People's arrogance and ignorance never cease to amaze me!
Especially when you consider them a "friend". It takes all kinds to make the blogosphere go round.

VERY good blog!!! You know....I am new to blogging but what you've just experienced could be what I am ABOUT to experience (but of course I hope not to or never to experience it!) I always leave comments in bloggers of similiar minds and content. Where money is concerned, some can be really really sensitive and get nasty.
I think you did the right thing of blocking via Twitter. Especially for people who's "stealing content" without tracking back or mentioning your blog.
I have recently linked to good blogs who were promoting the SAME PRODUCTS I was promoting (text link or display ads). I do not see it as SOMETHING BAD. Generous bloggers fare better (in my opinion) and will not feel the fear of "competition" or ned to be saying things like "XXXX stole my commenter!!! And business!"
