She’s well blocked by now if she hasn’t unfollowedI hope Louise posts back. Siv hates not having the last word
I thought the exact same when I read those last night. I have seen some interesting articles about him being a fraud and calling the book pseudoscience.The authors comments...waffle!
Absolutely this.So basically someone said the book is not based on any research evidence and all hell broke lose.
How truly bizarre.
I genuinely find it quite interesting that these huns will read any old shite and take it like it is the gospel.
A simple response saying; the ideas and content in the book have enabled some interesting discussions and thoughts, however it is interesting that it isn't based on academic research I wonder if there is anything that has been researched that you could recommend..... This would have been a leaning point for everyone.
I translated this in my head to:The authors comments...waffle!
It’s why these books can be so harmful.I translated this in my head to:
"But I never said it was science! I just said it was based on some science I found! That doesn't mean you can judge it as science! I'm just dumbing down science for the average person, don't you get that? It doesn't matter if it's bad science, I'm just summarising it!"
That actually would have a been a great way for a discussion to actually happen. But this girl probably isn't a instahun with 1000s of followers or living on a beach somewhere so she can't have any valid points. Sinead would cut her off every 10 seconds anyways from what I've heard of the podcast. It's all just cringe from siobhan and the author.Absolutely this.
Hell.. Sinead could've even had her on the podcast and actually provided some valuable info!
Fully agree they wouldn't last in real jobs. I've seen people be let go for being passive aggressive managers who can't work with the team. I know myself I've had to hold my hands up and admit I'm wrong so many times as a manager - but the team respects you more for it.
I just find it mind boggling that she continuously preaches that disagreements and reading conflicting books is a great way to expand your horizons or whatever, but then behaves like this. I see debates or disagreements as an opportunity to learn. She just can't see past her pride.
I read every comment from SOH in James Smiths voice, sounds exactly how he was respond. I don’t think she realises the arrogant approach is so unattractive that it puts people off.The authors comments...waffle!
Siobhan Shaw is as big of a dose as sineadheg infairness, shes trying to jump on the instawellness bandwagon for a longtime. No surprises that she is commenting on sineadhegs posts....For the love of god siobhanshawfitness do NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES let her know your thoughts. For your own protection. Save yourself!!!!

Oh no! Not nice at allThanks for the entertainment girls I’m back at an 8 weeks check after getting a colostomy bag surgery in Feb and I’m upset that it seems like it’s on for longer than I thought but I’m honestly entertained by this x
Sorry to hear, and all the more reason for us to keep this thread on fire. Wishing you all the best xThanks for the entertainment girls I’m back at an 8 weeks check after getting a colostomy bag surgery in Feb and I’m upset that it seems like it’s on for longer than I thought but I’m honestly entertained by this x
I remember when I first got trolled back in 2015. I was working as a personal trainer and I had already built up a bit of a following and was receiving praise for all the helpful content I was sharing. I remember sitting in the car late at night after work - you know when you’re too exhausted to actually get out of the car and go inside?! Anyway, it’s the first time I got a loaded question on Facebook. It was passive aggressive - started with a lovely comment but had a mean undertone. I didn’t know what to say! The account seemed fake, which I thought was strange. Over the last six years I’ve dealt with that same person, and others, setting up fake accounts and constantly nit-picking my content and me. It’s actually crazy how well they know me because they are able to quote something I said in 2016 if it doesn’t line up with something I say now (see my previous email about it’s ok to be wrong). So how do I deal with it? I take different approaches depending on the mood I’m in. Usually I will just block the account, even if it is seems like a genuine criticism, because it’s coming from a fake account that has just been set up (because I’ve blocked all their previous accounts). Sometimes I just ‘restrict’ an account which means they can keep commenting but nobody can see it except themselves. That’s a fun one because they keep commenting, thinking they’re offending me but I’m oblivious. Plus it stops them setting up another fake account straight away. Sometimes I just ignore the comments from the fake accounts but they usually gather steam because they talk about me on another forum, and tell each other to go support the comment. I especially like to block people who don’t follow me but go into my comments just to like negative ones. Of course you might read that and think I just “block out the haters” and the first sight of criticism. But I’m more than willing to be wrong about something (again, see previous email). I am open to having a rational conversation with somebody about something I may have said wrong. Only if it is coming from a genuine account. But people on the internet are rarely rational, or considerate of the other person’s perspective. I’ve often seen content posted that is slightly wrong and I flex my fingers getting ready to correct that person. Then I stop. Would this person appreciate my advice? Is the best way to deliver information, which may be helpful, in the comment section? Should I message them? Am I just trying to show off that I know more than them? Would I say it to their face? Am I missing some facts or just looking at it from my perspective? Would both our days be better if I scrolled on by? As an “iNflUenCEr”, there seems to be a view that you have to take criticism from anyone that decides to view and comment on your stuff. “YoU puT YoURsELf oUT theRE”. But if you are in any way defensive in your reply, you will get torn down even more. I’m a strong willed person and to be honest I do try and be a bit too nice online, compared to what I’m actually like! It’s almost like being a politician when you get a blue tick - you’re not allowed make mistakes or you’ll be thrown to the wolves/forums. I know this email will be dissected in the forums later (hi Luckily I am all of the above, most of the time, but I’ve had some very dark lonely days where you feel like the whole world hates you. I would hate to think the effect this trolling has on others who aren’t so stable right now. And there is no escaping it. Imagine the person that you follow online that you think is amazing - there is somebody giving them abuse online. What is the solution? I wish I knew. I think Instagram could do better at preventing anonymous accounts from being set up. I’ve checked the emails of all the accounts I’ve blocked and they’re all fake emails too (imagine having the time!). In the mean time, I do my best to consider the other person (that I would deem a troll)’s perspective. They could be feeling low and lashing out. They mustn’t be happy with their own lives if they spend so much time criticising others. And I know that sounds patronising but that’s just me rationalising it. I presume they want me to stop posting or cancel my account but that’s never going to happen. Then I always “send them love and kindness” in my meditations, which will do absolutely nothing to prevent their behaviour but it helps me feel more content about it. And we have to protect our own mental health. Thank you for reading. |
Sounding you all the love, I’m so sorry. I hope for your sake it’s not on for much longer. We will always be here providing distracting fire threads!
