One last thought about "The Trouble" from wiscon

[maevele]

I was thinking about how the SASSholes are taking pics off the Flickr pools of perfectly unremarkable looking people just having a good time to go "hurr-hurr, FAT! Lesbian! UGLY! Hurrhurr" over, and think I've figured out what is so ugly in those pictures to them.

We're all having a good time. I can't imagine anything uglier to someone filled with hate and self loathing than normal people having the nerve to openly enjoy themselves.

Ignoring the haters is definitely important. I think, however, it's emotionally draining to have someone going "NYAH NYAH NYAH" and poking you. Even when you know they're wrong, and their opinion doesn't matter. Having them there and dealing with their litter is tiring.

My personal reaction is to stop looking at them. I saw my photo was swiped. I'm sure I've been mocked. I don't need to look at it.

For me, I'm not really upset that they're mocking me. Whatever, that happens every day. I'm pissed that they've caused damage to a community I find important, and that they're continuing to try to hurt and damage it.
