It does feel like high school. Constant hurt feelings, bashing, insecurity, moms not supporting moms and so forth. I'm glad you wrote this. If moms want companies to look at them for more than "popularity" but for being real and genuine - like this post - then they can't slight others and be like a blogger in high school.

And Poppy, you nailed it with my approach too when you said this: "I find I do very well by not being any ruder on the internet than I am in real life. Which isn’t saying much, because I’m not the most tactful person. But at least I’m no more tactless when I’m sitting at my keyboard!" That is me to a tee! LOL. Thanks again guys!

First time commenting, but now I'm stalking you. ;-D I haven't personally had to deal with this, but I've seen it happen. And I'm glad you called people out on it. Ever since the internet started, some people have taken advantage of their relative anonymity to say cutting things to each other. Seems that some people don't realize how twitter can have a ripples-in-a-pond effect. One nasty tweet can get passed around and commented on for a long, long time.
