Trolls Galore

I apologize in advance. This will be another slightly personal post but it has to be said...
Personal opinions are one thing but what I don't understand is very negative feedback about what is being done overall. Sure, I don't like that song, or sure, your cuts are off, or even hey, work doesn't appeal to me at all... subjectively critiquing one's work is a good thing but let me just say this:
If you have the balls to post your work online for the world to see, I salute you.
If you are giving away information to help the community, I salute you.
Honestly, I haven't had too much flat out negativity come my way but when it does I try to think about what underlying issue is going on that would cause a person to insult me. Remember, there is a difference... I swear, I'm not one of those overly sensitive girls.
So you may be asking yourself... What is a troll?
Urban Dictionary defines it as "One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue."
In case you're still confused I've included a photograph:
Here's a helpful diagram so you too can understand how the troll mind works... It may be small but it has 4 very important parts:
If you have found this post and you yourself are a troll please visit Troll Love... You too can find happiness.

There's nothing wrong with a personal post especially when it's about something important. Screw those F'N TROLLS keep making and sharing content you love. Some of us appreciate it. =)
Haha! Ever notice how small a Troll's hands and feet are ? Need I say more? :() YOU guys, on the other hand, are doing something positive and nurturing for this community. Clearly, it's very much supported and appreciated. :)
I was having a hard time understating what you were talking about until I saw the picture of the troll doll ;)
Hey, why are you disparaging trolls? The little guy in the picture has a friendly smile, great hairdo and a very spiffy hat. A stylin dude like that would never send a note signed anonymous.
Maybe you should make the blog a real name only deal to screen out creativity killers.
You're doing great work with the blog and with the videos, don't let the idiots grind you down!
I'm happy the photograph has been helpful ;)
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
I think lots of people experience trolls and sometimes, it's hard to not let the troll bring you down! Ha!
