Opening a business, you are exposed to public, but if you putting out a blog you are exposed to the whole world. Like an opened book, you will be subjected for flattering or despising.

There is a newly opened restaurant in Kuching city famous for its nice breads but when my friend called informing the Mat Salleh’s owner that his pasta was always too salty, instead she was questioned by him, “How much do you know about foods?” I went to this restaurant once, my cousin ordered the pasta, she told me it was so salty, so I took a bite, my cousin and I ate pasta from USA, Europe back to Kuching city, it was the saltiest pasta we ever tasted!

Too bad that the owner stubbornly didn’t take his customer’s comment, as he didn’t do the cooking I just make a guess that either he never tasted those pasta cooked by his employed local chefs or he simply eats saltier foods than the rest of the populations, but tell you surprisingly the restaurant still got many patrons for salty foods!

Like attracts like (物以类聚) happened all over the world, actually if all like only mix with like and don’t get bothered with others, then our world will be in a total peace, unfortunately Nazis never reigned the world, communists never reigned the world and capitalists also never reigned the world, whenever like wants to brain wash another unlike, chaos and war started.

Your blog written articles would be considered as a success when many visitors browsed and left their good comments on your standing. They either could benefit from or share your similar hobbies, interests, ideas, philosophies of life, religious or ethical views. Most of the time these commenters would leave positive, encouraging and pleasant (sometimes pulling each others leg) remarks, like a group of cats licking each others furs. Similar to those entertainment karaoke, topless bars or massage parlors, often “gossips, sexual and scandals” written blogging articles would lure the most audience all over the world.

Those written blogging articles specialized in cases e.g. like bullying, abusing (battered), raping, psychological, philosophical or technical subjects usually would only attract specifically to only minorities of victims, scholars and nerds. Most bullied, abused and raped victims are mostly introvert person, often such tragic caused them to withdraw from crowds or they would change abruptly their outlook of life or to a driven personality.

So imagine if a victim of bullied posted a written article witnessed painfully how she experienced and tolerated bullying and haunting for years by different bullies and yet she never received any comment. It shows that how few people actually were interested to even read on what had happened to such a bullied victim, most people minded their own business in this world when it was not attracted to them, so called like attracts like.

Suddenly one day the poor victim’s article received a “blasting” condemning commentary by a stranger with a pinky nail size blurred photo to indicate she’s a girl, but blocked her profile from the victimized writer’s excess.

Why the negative commenter or some readers didn’t put out any noise of what bullies did but merely condemned on the writer?

The actual fact was such readers/commenters subconsciously actually pitied those bullies instead of the bullied victim, the readers subconsciously agreed with what the bullies did to the victim (Those bullies ego primitive inner eyes would define a victim as an inferior being), such traits actually reflected the readers’ potential likeness, certain similar characteristic traits and promptness to bully, thus they got attracted to the bullies, such readers/commenters wouldn’t have the same kind of “resonance” with the writer, actually the article provoked them, made them felt they were on the same boat with the bullies, they got extremely angry and lose their cool heads thus they came to “rescue” the bullies by bombarding the writer right on her head without any mercy and cooling head in their own version of ethical explanations.

For an example, there would be two different kinds of person drew to a explicit porno blogging article, the sex manic who got attracted to it positively and the other would be the religious fanatics who got extremely mad. In contrast, when a very holy religious person wrote a blogging article against prostitutions, night life or pre maritual sex, agreed ones would leave positive remarks but angry ones would condemn and tell the blogger off very angrily!

Also it’s so easy to track such readers who left negative comments but barred the writer to reach them. Thanks to one of my ex-students who’s now doing his PhDs program specialized on IT security, he gave me some of the following information:

(1) The older the commenter, the cooler head and more reserved he/she would have, usually they would leave very subtle comments, the most unreasonable and most angry ones usually were younger innocent girls, still not exposed to the real dog eats dog world yet.
(2) Due to the wonders of technology, anonymous profile page would be able to get a hold of.
(3) Study the usage of the word of such commenters, "butts" instead of "ass" or something crueler. "Holy" people tend to use more "polite" words such as this.
(4) The peculiar typing habits: e.g. most people would use I instead of l, such commenters would use l to stand for I or most people would use A instead of a, but such commenters would use a throughoutly. Such trait would be consistently carried to the suspects’ blogs.
(5) Name of such commenters wouldn’t be driven too far from their original name or certain name that “inspired” by them.
When the wolves howled, the rest of the wolves would join in soon to howl together. Like attract like, very careful of what kind of blogging articles you got attracted and to leave your bombarding and condemning remarks, it is a mirror there to reflect your unknown devilish or angelic side, emotional handicapped or balanced life, childish or mature presence. Only when you know your own characteristic traits you are able to help yourself, be a mean bully to “inferiors” is very unkind, but the bully’s aggressiveness is good to apply in pursuing ones’ study and business.
