Well, I guess my hate posters aren't as sophisticated as some of the others out there, so I will have to help them out a little.
A guide to anonymous hate posting:
1) Comment on my journal---No one wants their journal cluttered up with my hate comments. Sheesh, have a little respect.
2) Use good grammar---When you don't capitalize your words, abuse commas, and use words like "for" incorrectly it just takes away from the potency of the comment itself. And we wouldn't want that, would we?
3) Insult me about something I actually care about---Telling me that my icon is pretty bad just makes it seem like you can't think of anything else to say. Sorry if I'm not as computer savvy as you, anonymous poster, but do you really have to criticize me about it? I'd like to see what your icon looks like...oh wait, that might give away your incredibly innovative anonymity.
4) Back up your insults---What good will it do me to to simply know that I am obnoxious or petty? I assume that by leaving me the comment, you are expecting me to want to change those things, right? If not, then what is the point of leaving a hate comment? Just to hurt me? Well, it's hardly an insult when I don't even know why you think those things. C'mon, if you're going to take the effort to explain why my icon sucks, you could at least tell my why you think I'm petty.
5) Lastly, think about why you are too scared to sign your name---If it's because what you are saying is excessively hurtful, maybe you just shouldn't say it. If it's because you act nice to me at school and don't want me to know it's you, maybe you should just stop pretending to be my friend/acquaintance and tell me what you think to my face. Chances are, I don't like you either so it won't be a problem.
Hopefully that will clear up the guidelines to hate-posting.
