I am really flustered with what this blogger commented on one of my blog posts. She accused me of being a racist because she was offended by what I posted. I am an open minded person and I do not even judge from the first impression. I love people who love me back. I’m not here to slander anyone. All I want is to share happiness, hope and love. I gave my sincerest apology if I offended her but she did not accept it and continued to malign me with her words. She flooded me with malicious comments because I did not take the bait of arguing with her. How can you reason out with someone who only thinks of herself and not see my point of view? I’m not even surprised because she does not show herself in her blog. She does not even have a decent profile photo.
She threatened me with posting my “racist post” (in her words) on Facebook, Instagram and other social media. I do not have anything to hide because my conscience is clear. And I do not plan on removing that post I published unless WordPress states otherwise. I will own up to my mistakes if I erred.
Again, I am promoting happiness, hope, peace and love. Blessings to all of you!

I commented once on a book review, Winnie, I suggested a book in the same vein, “White Oleander” , one of my all-time favorites, not realizing that some of it was, perhaps, rated R, I never heard from that reader again, and it makes me feel like I did something wrong. Comes with being a writer, I guess.

I’m glad that you did what needed to do. Winnie, you are such a sweet woman! I’m surprised that she wrote that. There are people like that out there. I haven’t encountered them on my blog, but in real life face to face. It confuses me. Sometimes, it’s a reflection of everything that is going on in their personal lives. They become really sensitive to little things that remind them of horrible incidences which can bewilder us.

I didn’t see what you are talking about, so I’m not sure what this person said about you, but
It’s my opinion you did the right thing by not engaging them in an argument. It’s likely that is exactly what they were looking for.
Also, you know the context and intent of what you wrote and you can’t be responsible for how someone chooses to react to it. That is on them, so I personally wouldn’t have even apologized.

No excuses/apologies/reasons necessary. The beauty of WP is that if you donβt like something someone says then DONT READ IT (all caps for the blogger who commented). Save that bullshit for Facebook. You arenβt a friend so donβt follow me no skin off my back. And if you wanna call me out like that you better damn well have a solid argument because just saying a post is racist or whatever is bs if you arenβt going to substantiate it.
