Dear Mr. (or Ms.) Anonymous,
Imagine my glee when I saw that you visited my blog. You can understand that my glee doubled when I realized that you also left a comment for me. I eagerly went to my comment section and started reading. My facial expression immediately changed to distaste when your nasty words started ringing through my head.
I must ask you Mr. Anonymous, why are you so angry? Is your world so little and incomplete that you must barge in on happy worlds and try to seek and destroy? Do your snide and ruthless remarks make you feel like a bigger person?
To be fair, I will admit that you, Mr. Anonymous, are not the only person that leaves nasty comments. There are some other people that do it too. The difference between you and them is that they leave their name. Leaving their name does not take away from the nastiness, however I give them credit for at least having the guts to say what they have to say without hiding behind anonymity.
So go ahead and shed your cloak of anonymity Mr. Anonymous. Be a man (or a woman) and spread your vicious trail, but please leave your name so we can all know who you are. Better yet, try this approach instead. Leave a comment. Be nice and polite. It is okay to disagree with the blogger but do it in a way that shows maturity and respect. Make your mother proud. Who knows, it might just make you feel better and soon you could be spreading your love and joy all around the blogosphere. I for one will give you a pat on the back.
Any betting people out there? If so, place your bets now on whether or not Mr. Anonymous will visit this post. If you have an issue with Mr. Anonymous, air it out here and tell us what you think about him!

Well said.
People that do this are so miserable and unhappy that they want everyone else to be unhappy too. Not to mention they're cowards.
@Amy @ Milk Breath and Margaritas: Thank you very much :)
@Blog by Donna: That is the word I missed in my letter, coward. Perfect!
Coward is the perfect word, but the most appropriate is maybe idiot? :)
I am still trying to figure out why someone would get so mad at you and leave a nasty comment. It just doesn't make sense.
He was abused by aliens!
I can't think of any other reason why someone would write anything nasty or negative about your blog. I have found it to be very thought out and enjoyable.
By the way, your letter is very well said. Don't let people like him/her deter you from this. You have people here who love and care about your contribution to the blog world.
Thank you Donald. Your support here has been tremendous!
You aren't alone on the anonymous commenter who can't seem to be nice. I used to write fan fiction, because of the negative or mean spirited responders I now longer do that, I write, just not fan fiction. People like your anonymous only enjoy spreading their vile venom and are best ignored. But your response, in the form of a letter, was so well stated it should be sent to all of those that can only spread their misery far and wide on the internet.
Anon, probably never had a mother?
