Trolls make me laugh because they don't understand that even negative press is good press 😁 In my 10 years as a travel blogger I got SO many shitty comments and it was those comments that attracted tons of conversation and debate which equaled more traffic for me. I usually thank the trolls 😂
Talk about turning lemons into lemonade. Your genius way of turning this to all of our advantage outshines the deviousness of the troll by a mile. Thanks for the example of how to take such things in stride.
Your newsletter is nothing like what he describes. I’ve really enjoyed reading it and you have a lot of strategic insight! Any newsletters that are what he describes should also be able to exist for whoever wants to read them. Clearly he feels threatened by something (all women? People gaining subs? Who knows).
I love how you unpacked that. I also saw that Note, but didn't think much of it then other than it being mean to ridicule half of humankind's writers. Thanks for the heads up, and the tips!
All that effort he put in to something he could’ve just done quietly... love this approach - I will be using this strategy in the future, but for more wholesome, kind purposes
Thanks for unpacking the strategy and sorry for the negativity. Kind of reminds me of the strategy of hiring criminal hackers to create security systems. How can we use devious methods of using the system in a way that creates good? Makes my brain weary to think like that.
very sorry this happened to you. But it says more about him than anything else. Great strategy though, as you say; I didn't know you could do that. How do you know it's just women?
Glad you liked my take on it Terry. In the guy's note, which I included only as a screenshot, he specifically called out women ("women coaches, all... giving each other therapy").
SOLUTION: A world without men. Resulting in less dickhead trolling, and world peace and vast new resources as a side benefit. I've written 14 pages on this very thing in all seriousness, but I'm not sharing the link, no way, no how, just forget it, stop asking already!!
In a world without men there would be fewer stupid comments like this one. What's not to like???

I will refer you to this note I wrote today about you:

Love the way you spun this :)

Hope you are ok. It’s odd when the vibe turns weird - I’ve had it too but not written about it because I’m not really over it! 👀😵❤️
Thanks Claire. Let's keep calling it out when we see it. Hope you feel 'over it' soon. X
I hope you get over it soon
Fab piece @karencherry but I thought, Yikes! Before realising the note you shared was The Troll's. Here's my (attempt at a) note clip as advised

Oh, sorry, I have only read your post on my phone so couldn't read the screenshot. (It was too hot to turn on my computer!)
