1) Your father, in the grand scheme of things, is a nobody.
2) You are pretty but naive and insecure. You need to go do something worthwhile and difficult, for your own self-respect and to earn the respect of others. Blogging isn't it. The Peace Corps, the Army, or some job that forces you to rise above yourself without the help of your parents should do it. Then, people besides your parents will care if you live or die.
3) Ignore the haters. They live small lives.

I mean, I love Dorothy Parker, but I'm not sure your two descriptors are mutually exclusive in her case.

1) Your father, in the grand scheme of things, is a nobody.
2) Even if you were pretty, which you will never be, inside or out, you're disgusting. No one cares if you live or die, save your parents.

I haven't followed this girl terribly closely, so I will take you all at your word that she's a moron, but some of the comments about her have really been awful, even worse than the JA comments, of which I am an avid participant. But to suggest no one cares if she lives or dies -- that's just not nice, and crosses a line, no?
Am I alone here?

My issue is this: make fun of her writing and her antics, call her a narcissist, an attention whore, whatever, all you want -- that's fair. But to call her ugly and to suggest even her parents wouldn't care if she died ... not cool. And especially since it sounds like she may have been in some distress when she shut down her blog.

(I see their little unacknowleged toddler-tikes at the parks all the time of course, but their fameball powers are so weak at that age that it's still kind of adorable.)
