Always a discouraging word.
-----------------------------------
I have been targeted twice by trolls at two sites.  I know of others who have also been targeted aw well.  Now I have seen a new one targeting several artist and delivering his (male gender presumed) messages of discouragement through gallery comments.

It may that they are fustrated would be artists, since in each of those cases I have found nothing created by those individuals, at least under the username that they are trolling under.  No galleries , nothing for sale, no free items, not even customized home pages at the sites that support them.

The comments made by these people are never nice nor constructive.  Rather they try to discourage their victims.  Such as pointing our error (real or imagined) and then make comments like "Your picture is making me sick", "This picture is junk", "You have the nerve to post a picture as terrible as this one?".  

I don't understand why they do it.  Do they think it is fun to discourage people, include people who may be just beginning and very unsure of their abilities already?  I don't understand it.

Although, I have not been targeted by this newest one who is doing his dirty deeds in public.  I am thinking of sending him a message stating that I have seen his messages about the problems he found in other people's works and I would like to see some of his artwork.  Centarian gave me that idea.
