I accidentally unleashed some internet drama.
And, since I'm leaving for camp today, I'm not even going to be around to deal with it.

Essentially, there's this message board I go on where people post prayer/good vibes/hug requests for people who they feel need it. I posted an "internet friend's" blog link on there (she has a lot of health problems), and someone, replying to my post, basically in kind of a roundabout way, accused the site of being a fake, which it definitely isn't. My friend then saw this in her trackbacks and got really upset that someone would think that her site was a fake.

I feel like it's my fault for posting the link in the first place, even if I could have had no way of knowing that someone was going to see that and make that kind of comment.

1. There are plenty of idiots on teh internets
If you tried to hold yourself responsible for their behavior you will just lose your mind...
Its the idiots fault, not you. Your friend should understand that as well...:hug:

3. You're not responsible for what one random person on the internet says or does.
Don't worry 'bout it. :)

(ironic that I'm saying this as just one random person on the internet though...)

4. You did nothing wrong. The person who said that is a callous asshole
and probably enjoys pulling the wings off of flies.
