		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-51719&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Christopher (AKA: CaJoh)&lt;/a&gt; 
It&#039;s a mixed reaction online.. however, when I see the stats online of referrals to my site, I see lots of links from forums talking about me. That&#039;s how I know.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;I donâ€™t think theyâ€™re jealous of you. Theyâ€™re intimidated by you. They are afraid of you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I agree with your on this part.. 

It is nice of you to share your side of the story. Very interesting and something I read about that happened with other bloggers. Oh well.. just have to be the tough cookie I guess! :)</description>

		<description>People need to chill out .Everyone has the right to their own opinion. Whether you see pros or cons in the Arab culture, it doesn&#039;t matter. Some may see one thing as backwards but another party may see it as acceptable. At the end of the day there isn&#039;t an absolute right or wrong. Its all relative :).</description>

		<description>Ah, but you&#039;re Canadian. I think that there are very few people who dislike your blog and what you say. Unfortunately they are the most vocal. It is a shame that you are guilty through association and are labeled as being from the USA.

I am curious where these forums are and what they say. Did you find anybody saying anything positive? I hope you did.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think they&#039;re jealous of you. They&#039;re intimidated by you. They are afraid of you. I&#039;ve had people on other websites write nasty things about me. My site has been discussed on Metafilter and &quot;private&quot; forums that have popped up in my hit counter and when I try to visit to see what gave me 10 extra hits that day, I&#039;m denied membership. These people were afraid of me. The ones that spoke nasty of me. Their comments weren&#039;t calling me an immature anything--they were calling me the vulgar version of a harlot. They made arrangements to contact my college, to track down my husband and email him links to my blog entries to &#039;inform him of what I was doing online&#039;. Once my mother got a phone call from people on the web letting her know that her (then) 21 year old daughter was disagreeing with them online.

None of these things moved me. I didn&#039;t even blog about it. I didn&#039;t email anyone about it. When I was contacted about it, I didn&#039;t answer the emails. I was soon labeled as having &#039;nerves of steel&#039; and a lot of people began to look up to me. Have I been emailed nasty things? Sure. Have people commented with nasty things? Yup. Do they get to me? Of course. Do the people who have done this to me know it? I doubt it. I never showed it where they could see it.

You can always be happy in knowing that somewhere, someone isn&#039;t jealous of you, but intimidated by the fact that you have one of those special super powers: The ability to see right through their thick screen of BS. :)</description>
