It’s the cheapest and saddest form of heckling. On a good day you can feel slightly uplifted by the positive comments relating to an article you have created and shared with the world. But there is always the risk that some sad little toad will hurl shit like this in response. It’s a reflection on them not you. Delete and block them.
Excellent advice. Certainly don't let it throw you into an existential crisis that has you looking at yourself in the mirror, asking: "how many people out there think I've got a hairy bumhole?".
Well Stephanie, your piece about He-who-can-only-write-sh*t from his own orifice has just earnt you a paid subscription (sorry it took me so long). You had me spluttering my muesli (more rage laughing). Summernats is the joy that just keeps giving, in a funny sort of way.
Oh my God. That is SO generous, Julie. I honestly really, really appreciate it. I quietly turned on paid subscriptions a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to start making content for it soon, I swear...!!
I WISH it was my Porsche, holy hell. Briefly got to drive this baby for Car of the Year. It's worth an absurd amount. And thank you for the kind comment!
Trolls are a pestilential menace. Deleting and blocking isn't a backdown or retreat or tanty or anything other than the right response. No oxygen, no acknowledgement. Yay you for regaining balance so quickly.
I assume the person, the man, writing the post thinks ‘a hairy bum hole’ is awful.
The question is why it got to you? If I wrote the irrelevant ‘I bet she is left handed’ would you be as shocked (replace left with right should you actually be left handed)?
Calling you sinister. Not nice.
The insult only works if both oarties share the assumption.

Happy to pay for the content others read for free, just as I don't pay for lots of other writing that other readers support :)
On second thoughts, could I have a ride in that Porsche 🙏😉
The monkey shit metaphor - or it analogy? - is gold. And is that your Porsche?

Thanks Dean. Appreciate the comment - indeed it didn't take long until I found it to be a bit funny.
Yes but surely it’s far safer to check and pluck before I post anything online.
Don't let the patriarchy get to you, Steve. Keep your hole hairy.
Ooof! I now need to know all the other shit this guy comments. Why? Morbid fascination.
Worth recounting horror stories over a drink one time. Let me know when you're in Sydney.
I’m a little disappointed the troll didn’t resort to the clichéd skid mark metaphor. A missed opportunity, in its own small way.
