You know you’ve made it in the blogosphere when …

You start to recieve hate email.

I guess I’ve officially “made it” :???:

That, coupled with the fact that I’m no longer a slithering reptile in the TTLB ecosystem, should signal that I’m well on my way to success ;)

    There’s nothing like that first piece of hate mail. I haven’t received anything blog-related, but I do television show recaps at a fairly popular website and the folks there have no problem telling me where to put my keyboard. Ah Sister, you’ll always be my Flappy Bird…LOL!

    Sister, get ready for more hate mail! Seriously, most who disagree with me do so civilly. It’s sort of cool getting “fan mail”, isn’t it?

    LB…you’ve hit the nail on the proverbial head. I don’t mind dissent as long as it’s done in a mature manner. There are just so many who have to sink to the lowest common denominator…and their points are usually lost in the translation.

  4. Stacy: I’m glad to know I’ll always be your Flappy Bird ;) And I agree, it’s unfortunate that some sink to the lowest level possible in order to try to make a point. I’ve found when that happens that the only point they prove is that the anonymity of the I’net allows them to be very ‘brave’ (for lack of a better word).

    LB: I’ve had the same experience over the last 5 years or so of posting political opinions (on current events message boards), thankfully :) Through those boards, only a handful ever emailed me personally to express their disgust with my opinions. I’m hoping that carries over to the blog as well and that the nasty emails are few and far in between.
