“Either if I see a YouTube film or read a blog, my eyes go below to the bottom of the screen. Because I get so fantastically upset by people who write comments. I don’t even know anybody who writes comments! I think that’s the point. The kind of people who put comments are themselves so weird and unhappy and alone and strange, it’s called ‘trolling’, you know, vicious comments about things. I mean, really weird. Either politically weird or religiously weird or just so intolerant or so desperate to be heard! So offensive! Just pleading: “Please listen to meeee!” they’re saying all the time. “Listen to me!” And of course you don’t want to, and if you do it just gets upset, you might even be tricked into replying with an aggressive reply to some idiot, and with vile opinions about things. Which they will use on a complete… it might be a puppy running around, some random Youtube thing, and it somehow manages to get a thread of nastiness into it. And they just want to be heard, and they are so resentful, and so annoyed, especially due to other people’s blogs, the fact that somebody’s reading someone else’s blog and not theirs is madly enough!” —
