How do you deal with nasty people?

I'm registered at a translation website. And there are two people who think they are better than others and they leave sarcastic comments or make fun of other people. It's a professional website and I've asked a moderator to block them so they can't comment on my posts but they keep doing it with each other's posts.

It's like making fun of people right in front of them. What I'm saying to myself is They are not good people so they are not worthy of your attention, all I can do is ignore and forgive them because what goes around that comes around sooner or later. But it still hurts.

Hi Lexxinski
You are right in what you are saying. They are not worthy of your attention. They are unhappy with something in themselves, and it makes them feel bigger when they put down others. I'm impressed with your way of thinking about forgiving them. You sound so caring for others, and along with that comes sensitivity. When you are hurt by this behavior, let it be a good reminder to you that you feel deeply, and that is a wonderful trait. Allow that hurt feeling only a second of your time, because you have many more valuable things to do than think twice about that kind of negativity!
Peaceful vibes!

The internet can be a playground for people like that, sadly there are little to no repercussions for their actions so nothing to stop them. Really it sounds like they are unhappy/bitter people if this is what they choose to do.

I have a tough time dealing with unpleasantly behaved people myself, what I try to do is not take it personally and not react negatively, I don't want to become dragged into it myself.

Sounds like you did a good job of keeping your distance there, you kept your cool- well done.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with people like that. Sounds like unbelievable behaviour on a professional site! Like workplace bullying

I'm learning that emotions are simply information, and I'd say that when someone's behaviour leaves you feeling hurt, that hurt is a signal that something's wrong - they shouldn't be treating you this way. Then I'd think of ways to solve the situation..

Being dead timid myself, I struggle immensely with standing up for myself, but if I was in a similar situation and feeling really brave, I'd probably tell them how their behaviour makes me feel and ask them to stop and be more supportive towards others to keep the atmosphere on the site positive and make it a pleasant working environment for everyone.

I might say this a couple of times if they didn't believe or listen to me the first time, but beyond that, I wouldn't get into an argument with them about it. If someone disrespects me to the point of not taking my concerns seriously, that's when I find ignoring and avoiding them as much as possible is the only option. Not gonna fight with idiots

Ignore them and do your best in your professional work. It doesn't have to be perfect.
