She was mean mean mean mean mean.
What, in your opinion, makes someone THAT mean?
Re: Back to heirtoblair - boymom's post below....
The anonymity of the internet can cause people to over-share or over-step, in my experience. I think she let herself get carried away with her own words and truly thought she wasn't being as mean as she was. I'm not familiar with her posts, but I've seen it happen.
Plus, when you add the "crew" that was mentioned in one of the comments on her blog post (do I get bonus points for reading those? It's feeling like a day where I need some bonus points), a person can get goaded into doing or saying things they normally wouldn't.
Blair is pretty much full of shiit most of the time. And her writing style irks me.
I'm aware that this doesn't at all answer your question.
I think it's got to be unhappiness. I haven't a clue who this gal is, but in my very limited experience with mean or snarky people, they've all been unhappy overall. I think they'll always believe the worst about people right off the bat, and that seems like a very exhausting way to go through life.
She probably has always been unpopular. She discovered that the internet didn't know her past and she created the person she's always longed to be--popular, witty, and powerful. It's a bad case of low self esteem.
You know what's funny? Even though she was that mean, she was extremely popular. And that still exists. I mean really, look at all those asskissy comments on there. They all want to be her friend, mean or not mean.

It really is astonishing to see that people still try to be friends with someone that is truely horrible to them. I think it's human nature to want to be liked by everyone but it seems that eventhough somone is mean to you then you try harder. This may not be the case for everyone but I do keep thinking back to Mean Girls. Eventhough she was mean to everyone they all still tried to be friends with her.
Yes, but what is interesting in the comments is that someone that went to high school with her made the comment that she always seemed popular in high school, was a cheerleader, and didn't appear to be picked on AT ALL.
Which I find highly amusing. The way she describes herself in her post is as some sort of awkward geeky type that was always hiding behind her hair, trying to not be noticed.
