Crazy is as crazy does?!

When someone hates on you, it’s usually because they’re unhappy in their own lives. And has nothing do with you and there are certainly some unhappy bloggers in SFF Blogland.

There are Blog Titles that are so hateful and meanspirited that they are not worth opening up although I have opened up a few out of morbid curiosity only find irrelevances and frequently C&P's.

Step Two - Came believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. There are those too with grave emotional and mental disorders but they too can recover if they have the capacity to be honest.

People don't get in trouble for being crazy, they get in trouble for ACTING crazy. Don't act crazy and nobody knows the difference. Right action will lead to right thinking.

Insanity is a choice for some who don't want to take responsibilities. They hide holding the banner of crazy to justify being a meanspirited, hateful, butthead. It's a sad miserable life.

Some were born without the capacity to live a life that demands rigorous honesty.
Poor Them.

Understanding a person does not mean condoning; it only means that one does not accuse him as if one were God or a judge placed above him - Eric Fromm

This is true, but sometimes their behavior is so bad that it really pushes the envelope until others can't take it anymore and strike back. Some do not understand there is a difference between judging the person and judging the behavior.
Star is also right, most people can stop their crazy behavior, if they are just honest with themselves and admit they need to change.

How do you get people to just be honest with themselves/admit they need to change/stop their 'crazy' behaviour in the first place? Aren't they often striking out from a place of pain/alienation as you stated? Aren't they seeking acceptance into the community even if they go about it in a reckless manner? And/or perhaps striking out at those who think they have the corner on 'sanity'. Labelling is described as a 'cognitive distortion'. I would think most folk, including those mentioned above, would be able to relate to Mark Twain's universal 'kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see'.

So true, Lilium. Maybe it all boils down to personal responsibility for one's actions? Some want to say "I said this because someone said that"... in actuality nobody makes you say hateful things. It is your choice. You do not have to respond at all.
There is nothing we can do in a public forum to stop the instigators, but it is plain that answering them, or writing about them, or even ignoring them doesn't work. Some people continue to write blogs, attacking others, and sometimes multiple blogs in a row that nobody seems to care enough about to read or comment. It's a dilemma for which I have no answers.

While it is true that some people may be lashing out from a place of pain/alienation - the challenge is figuring out how to react. Striking back is like slapping around a sick individual and can only escalate. It's like mud wrestling with a pig. Both parties get dirty and the pig likes it. My usually inclination is to ignore and hopefully the other party gets bored spinning around by themselves. There have been times when someone oversteps boundaries and I have to say "Stop" but that usually encourages them more. There is always the block feature which works magnificently.
