When octochicken1 wrote “Am I the only one who saw this and was disgusted? I immediately decided I didn’t want her to win because I don’t want her to get any more full of herself than she seemed right there,” about a NINE YEAR OLD GIRL, tiredfairy expertly responded:

In all sincerity: what is WRONG with you? Whatever bitterness made you type that, you should work on. Now.
