I think maybe you need to not have a google alert. You can't resist GOMI (I wouldn't be able to either) and nothing good is coming from reading.
I know I shouldn't read it, but I do. I know I could stop reading it, but it's hard when you know it's out there and it keeps getting longer and longer and filled with more crap.
Like I said---it's not the criticisms about my blog that bother me, it's the people making up things that are not true and reflect poorly on me. It's unfair. Make fun of my outfits, my body, quote things that are actually on my blog, but don't make up lies.
Maybe I just need to create an account and be like "the following are all lies" and then list them in point form, LOL. I mean that's what they want, right? For me to come over there like other bloggers have done. I just strongly doubt anyone will even believe anything I have to say because they are already set in what they think of me and they'd rather believe the lies about me. I get it, it's more entertaining that way.
Don't do this. It doesn't matter what you do or say, it's not going to change. Don't waste your time....it's time you could spend taking the baby to the zoo
I can't imagine how frustrating it must be. Sorry you have to deal with it; I'm sure it's not as easy as 'just don't look.' Hopefully you can find a little humor in it at least.
Lol. My MIL spent $100 on paint SAMPLES. Fucking samples. AND she made an elaborate poster board thingy to display and test each sample. Now those kind of people are idiots, not you. You must be doing something right in life if you can get that many women riled up. It's just because you are pretty AND nice. Rare.

That's the thing though---I do NOT want to change anyone's opinion of me or my blog. If they want to think I'm a vapid, shallow blogger, okay. I don't want to convince people to like me, I don't need or want to be liked by everyone. I just want to challenge people to really think about the things they post and think about whether or not it's fair to make up lies about someone for entertainment. If they have proof, by all means, post something unflattering about me.
Oh V...is this your first time on the internet?
The whole purpose of GOMI is talking shit about bloggers. Seriously, remove the alert and pay them no mind. Maybe ask Harper to take you for a spin in her Sentra to take your mind off things.

I get your sentiment. It's hard not to want to set people straight when people lie. It's natural to want to defend yourself. Just remember that the people who believe the lies don't matter to you. People who matter know the truth.
pantsparty but I am not against them talking shit about me and my blog---I just think it's extra mean spirited to purposefully post things that are not true and that they know are lies just to act like they have some inside info. It's one thing for them to speculate how much money my husband and I make because that's speculation and I'm okay with that. But it's another to make up a lie that my husband was married before me or that I said or wrote things that I didn't. Ugh.
I lurked on gomi for a bit after I stumbled on it googling something else but I left when I realized just how hateful some posters are. But I think you and Gina from Fitnessista get a lot of the same comments in regard to your husbands, how much money you make, if you're in debt, etc. Some of those poster just seem to love tearing into both of you. And they love to bring up some random comment on a blog post from 3 years ago where you said X to try to make some random point. It's weird. I don't get it.
eta - and painting sucks - I would love to hire someone to do that when we move again.
I don't understand why they think Kevin was married before you...lol. And why does the fact that you give limited information on how you met him bother them so much.
I'm another who wants to know who the regular poster is. All of GOMI talks shit about people and yet you have someone who is a go between and pretty much lives to gather info from here and take it there.

THANK YOU!!! I was wondering who the hell it was! It amazes me that some people dislike me to the extent that they would make up I said something just to post something on GOMI. Odd.

But even when they bring up blog posts from three years ago the comments are inaccurate. Like when one person said I had 8% body fat. The fuck? Never in my life has it been that low. People are lazy. Back up what you post, or don't post it.
Oh yeah, the comments are always wrong! Or they take a totally random statement like "I didn't like the pink of this sweater with this skirt" and then they're like "V hates all things pink! Look she said it in this post here! zomg!!1111!!"
I'm pretty sure the gypped thing was on TK on the P&E board. I believe it was snoopy that said it. Then she went to go make a potroast and wasn't heard from again.

I think that was mrs. E, wasn't it? Wasn't she also the one who supposedly made thousands of dollars in an hour?
She was the one that always mentioned how many family members she lost in the holocaust. And also made thousands of dollars and hour. I think she also did the blind items.

SEE! This is how rumors get started. I think unless someone can pull up the original thread, they shouldn't post something that they "think" someone said or that they "think they remember." Even TN veterans are foggy on some of that stuff.
That's exactly what I was about to post. That's been years ago. I thought I was correct but looks like others have different recollections! Who knows.
