There is one thing which a while ago i was unable to comprehend. I am active on a few childfree webspaces and i have witnessed several times trolls aka breeders coming and throwing shit (bingos mostly) all over the place. Some of these trolls would go that far as to create a total false identity just to fit in the group, namely they pretend to be childfree until one of the moderators busts them up. And that happened more than once. So not long ago i was just amazed by this attitude: come in a place where you definitely don’t belong and start shitting all over it, in the hope that you will prove us wrong, shame us or the ultimate goal of the breeders – change our minds.
I thought a bit over the matter and speaking from my own point of view somebody needs a fucked up mind or deep frustrated attitude to do that. The first thing which comes into my mind regarding these trolls (it’s also available in real life too) is: if you are so happy with your life then why come and trash out my personal choices? The simple answer is that you are not happy and definitely my way of life has frustrated you. Otherwise you would have no logical reason to attack me virtual or otherwise.
There are very few childfree spaces on the internet and probably bilions of sites for parents or wannabe parents. Instead of coming and shit on my personal webspace why not go and enjoy yourself with some of the bilions of sites you have at your disposal? Personally speaking i have never ever went on these sites, logged in and start telling parents how wrong/stupid/idiots they are, how they will regret, change their minds or any other trash they throw at us. Never. I do not even visit such sites because i am totally uninterested in them. I don’t care about their lives. I am sticking to my childfree spaces and that’s it. Because i belong there.I never tried to shove my opinions down somebody else’s throat or try to change minds. I don’t care about the others.
Somebody who feels the need to tell me how fabulous their lives are and how wrong i am for not choosing what they choose, have a problem. Somebody who goes on and insults my choice has a big problem.
And serioulsy now trolls, what do you think you achieve by throwing shit at us, really? Do you think that we miraculously “see the light” and turn instantly into zombies? Give me a break! Your great achievement by trolling CF sites will be in the best case a ban and some shit thrown back from the childfree. In worst cases real identities can be revealed and the shit you threw at us might turn against yourself.
This post is valid for the real life trolls as well. Being a patronising and annoying ass won’t earn you anything.
I hear ya…I belong to a CF site that routinely gets trolls. Sure, some are the hit-and-run variety that somehow find the site and tell us all what mean, immature, stupid, sub-human assholes we are. But other ones are more persistent and will not leave or may try to get around actual bans because they think they belong there.
But bless the mods on this site, when a troublesome troll refuses to leave of their own volition, the folks who run the site will trace the troll’s IP and will post their name, location, job…all personal and professional details so anyone who searches for them will find the horrible things they said to us. If they’re going to shit all over our little corner of the web, we will shit all over their lives and jobs.
I fail to see what the trolls of either variety are trying to accomplish. I’m going to change an entire life choice because a random angry (and usually illiterate) stranger on the internet told me my choice is wrong because it doesn’t match theirs? Yeah, they can go pound sand. I don’t go on breeder sites and tell them how dumb they all are for not being childfree, though I certainly wish I could. However, unlike the average brain-dead Moo or Duh, I realize doing that would be a completely pointless venture as well as a waste of my valuable time.
Luckily, i haven’t got any trolls on my blog yet, at least not realted to CF issues but their efforts would be in vain. I would delete their non-sense in the blink of an eye. The trolls get what they deserve on that site and that is fair…you come and shit all over my space – you don’t get away with it.
I don’t waste my time either on parents sites since i have zero interest in them. But everytime a troll comes and starts spilling their frustration all over a CF place, i can’t help thinking…jeez how unhappy they must be. Because if you are so happy with your life, you wouldn’t be so angry with mine. Simple as that.
