As far back as I can remember --- and I'm talking at least 150 years - there's been trash talking in the schoolyards and on street corners. In was done in Sports, on the News, you name it. I'm pretty sure Gladiators had people in the Coliseum - with placards written in Latin, saying something to the effect - Claudius Maximus Sucks!!
So, is it any surprise that people engage in online trash talking and trolling and hiding gleefully behind their keyboards, -with pieces of pepperoni stuck to their Tee Shirts - thinking they are so cool. Generally speaking they're not - but their mothers are kind enough not to mention it.
Speaking from the heart takes courage. Pointing out that ones life does not look - in any way shape or form - like a Hollywood poster, takes presence of mind and the ability to reflect. Attributes that most troglodytes left behind in caves long ago.
Best to ignore them - like we do bits of breakfast on the beards of some men who simply haven't mastered the art of using a napkin. Someday they will learn - but mankind may be into its "body-less" phase by then and online shit-talking will simply have ceased to be of any importance.
Until that age of enlightenment, I strongly suggest you continue being yourself and reap the rewards of that endeavor. Cheers and all the best.
