Somebody tried to poop on my parade



Recently I was incredibly stoked to be named Blog of the Week over at I am Fickle Cattle. Fickle bestowed this awesome honor on both me and my totally cool bloggy friend Simple Dude. And this special honor became that much sweeter when several of you were kind enough to leave congratulatory comments and recommendations to other readers.

Unfortunately the fun little high that particular recognition brought on ended up being rather short-lived. All because some rude person decided it might be fun to poop on my parade.

Basically someone now referred to as “Miss Poopy” felt that instead of saying nothing at all, that the kind thing to do was to say that she wouldn’t follow The Ranter’s Box because it contains too much information and it gives her a headache.

Now call me overly sensitive or just a plain old big baby, but I kind of understand what Taylor Swift must have felt like when Kanye West dissed the music award she received. Seriously, who does that shit?

And while I admit that not everyone is going to enjoy my blog or want to become a follower, was it really necessary for Miss Poopy to hurt my feelings by publically saying that my blog sucks and induces headaches?

Then add the fact that Miss Poopy also basically insulted Fickle Cattle for him having chosen me as one of his Blogs of the Week. I mean here is a guy who reads tons of blogs, has over 700 followers and is generous enough to help pimp out some of his fellow bloggers, and yet there is some inconsiderate jackwagon rudely disparaging his recommendations.

Was all that really necessary? Or is Miss Poopy really just a nasty, stupid, smelly effing cow who is jealous for not having received similar recognition?

PS: Please know that I have missed you, all of your wonderful comments as well as the opportunity to read your lovely blogs while I have been away slogging it out at my paying career.

  2. Yay, the glorious empress is back. Why did I miss the fact you were featured on that blog? Hmmm? Well I have read and all I can say is Miss poopy pants either has no sense of humour or is just jealous of your place in the sun.

  3. Miss Poopy sounds like one of those people who complains at length about a TV show instead of just flicking channels...if you don't like it, don't watch it. Same thing for blogs....if it's not your cup of tea, make yourself a sandwich!
    I think your blog is great!

  6. I saw that weird comment! Miss Poopy?!?! Ha! It it weren't so incredibly stupid it would be funny. Not that I am above laughing at the word poopy. I've laughed each time I typed it.

    But her comment was nonsense. Too much information and a headache! what the hell does that even mean???

    But if memory serves me right.. she said something nice about me, so she can't be ALL bad. haha.

  9. You know, there are just some really miserably shits out there who can't be happy unless they are asses out of themselves. I certainly enjoy your blog and congrats are most deserved. So Piss On Miss Poopy.

  10. I experienced the same thing when I first started my blog. Way to knock my confidence! Don't worry though, she's just jealous that you rock :)

  12. Welcome back darling missed you and personally i say lets go kick some booty it was really uncalled for. momma always said if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. hugs

  13. WTF?! She should have said nothing. She should have quietly unfollowed. She doesn't have to come back if she doesn't like it, but to effing announce her dislike in comments is just so disrespectful. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Miss Poopy sounds like a bored little creature. Since she gave you the time of day by saying something about you - consider it a victory! :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Well, Miss Poopy Pants needs to get off her high horse. If you don't like it, simply don't read it. You don't have to go and berate them on their comments section.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Miss Poopy just seems jealous and like she has WAY too much time on her hands.

    I personally really enjoy your blog and your writing and I say congratulations to you for you blog of the week!!

    Forget her and her snarky attitude.

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Simple Dude: I'm glad you enjoyed the word poopy. And yes, she did say that you rocked which I totally agree, but the fact that she would diss me on The Fickle Cattle's blog post where he honored both you and I was rather surprising.

    ----------------
    @Danger Boy: Thanks my friend! The Empress likes to be liked : )

    ----------------
    @Jumble Mash: Amen sister!

    ---------------
    @Bouncin' Barb: Why thank you ...and I love when you wrote "piss on miss poopy"!

    --------------
    @Hazel: Thank you for your kind words.

    --------------
    @lolamouse: Right on and I love that you used the word shitweasel!!

    --------------
    @becca: Thanks and hugs to you too : )

    --------------
    @Aunt of 14: Wow, I feel so well protected by all of "my lovelies". Miss Poopy actually made her unkind comment on the blog of the guy who made me his blog of the week. Nothing like insulting both he and I at the same time.

    -------------
    @Oilfield Trash: Thank you, pimping is good!

    ------------
    @Marlene: Very good point my dear : )

    ------------
    @J.Day: I'm thinking Miss Poopy is just too stupid to understand intelligent humor and snark. If she would have left her comment on my blog I don't think I would have minded as much because I could have deleted it or responded accordingly. The fact that she left the comment at Fickle Cattle's blog where I was being honored was just plain uncalled-for.

    @Ella: Thank you so much for your support and kind words.

  18. It's ok... at least you don't have to have the awkward morning after convo...right? :) But that means we can just call her a dirty whore and it'll make us all feel better.

  20. Miss Poopy is a little boy in the Philippines who has yet to experience enough of life to know when not to be an ass. I wouldn't sweat it, babe. You fucking rock!

  22. miss poopy sounds like she has a little sand in her vagina and needs to lighten up. it's like those people who find out you like something and then make you feel really awkward by arguing with you about why you SHOULDN'T like it. i mean, look, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but sometimes if you don't agree with someone you should just smile and nod. or keep your gd poopy mouth shut.

  23. Miss Poopy is probably a smelly old effing elephant's backside who is jealous of any accolade. Never having won an award, my blog has so far escaped abuse. Of course, asa journalist I am subjected to this on a daily basis anyhow. congrats.

  24. AAARGH! Wrote a long comment yesterday only to find my internet connection had dropped out ... Was just going to say that blogging is a pure free market microcosm. You write what YOU like, I read what I like! So the fact you've got 166 open followers (+ Facebook) means - HHHMMMmmm... it MUST mean AT LEAST that many people actually like what you've got to say!

    But I'm just a li'l ol' Australian - what would I know?!?! Good to see you back!

  25. @Mrs. Hyde: Thanks my friend. Not really sweating it as much as trying to make a little point about how rude some people can be. Hugs!

    @Bruce: Aww, I'm totally feeling the blog love. Thank you muchly!

    --------------
    @Jess: Sand in the vagina is hilarious!

    --------------
    @David M: I quite enjoy your writing ...and have been known to give out and award or two from time to time...

    @Red Nomad OZ: Excellent rationale there. And for the record in my book people from down under know exactly what they are talking about! Thanks for your support : )

  26. sand in the vagina *is* hilarious. as long as it's not your vagina that's sandy. seriously? that shit is itchy.
    also? what if your name was sandy?! then it would be sandy's sandy vagina.
    okay, i'm stopping now.

  27. Congrats on your recognition! You know we all love you. I wouldn't worry about Miss Poopy--so a seventeen-year-old didn't understand your vocab or witticisms. Meh. You're still a badass blogger in my book.

    ReplyDelete
  28. wow...poopy with a sandy vagina AND the inability to read a great blog without getting a headache.....no wonder she's friggin rude!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Don't let her flood your thoughts . . . even Taylor got over the Kanye thing and is possibly even more successful because of it. Use the negativity as a catapult to greatness.

  30. Yay you! Blog of the Week? THat's WAYYY BETTER than Blog of Note. WHATEVER! YAY YOU! And Simple Dude. I missed that post. I'm going to go back and read it now.

    And whatever to Miss Poopy. Sometimes, the power of speech can be used for evil. Grr...I'm in the mood to go and give her a piece of my mind...but it might be too much information for her.

  31. I think these poopy people are just looking for the recognition that you give when you write about them in response, so just don't give them the satisfaction of acknowledging them at all. Only us fans of yours need recognition for knowing good stuff when we read and follow it! LOL! You give good recognition...amongst other things, I'm sure!!LOL! Take care Empress!

    ReplyDelete
  32. @Nicki: Thank you and I'm totally feeling the blog love today as well : )

    -------------
    @Dad: Well, in that case we might have to give Miss Poopy a pardon being that she is stinky and has a sandy vagina ; )

    -------------
    @2andababy: Right you are! And thanks for your support. My feelings were only slightly bruised and being the snarky Empress that I am, it was a great opportunity to make a point about the importance of good ettiquette and consideration for others.

    --------------
    @Cinderita: Thank you my friend. Yes, I'm sure it would be way too much information for her tiny little hampster brain to process. Even so, I'm totally feeling the love and support of my entire bloggy family.

    @G: Merci beaucoup mon ami!
