In Honor of "Anonymous"
Here is an excellent column regarding those that hide behind the "anonymous" signature on blogs. For those that read this blog on a regular basis, go back to the previous blog of Monday, October 8 and review the responses from "Anonymous". This article is written for people like her. Even if she reads this, she won't "get it". I've been asked who she is, along with receiving comments regarding her demeanor. Since I don't know, all I can say is that she's a friend of a former friend that has chosen to go beyond putting words in my mouth, but has resorted to flat out lying about things I've NOT said. Obviously, "anonymous" either can't read herself, or chooses to make judgement on things she knows nothing about. Perhaps the reason for her compelling frustrations! Nevertheless, I could only think of her while reading the below.
Dennis Prager: Internet Anonymity Is as Destructive as Internet Porn
There is something at least as awful as pornography -- and arguably more destructive -- that permeates the Internet: the lies, vitriol, obscenities and ad hominem attacks made by anonymous individuals on almost every website that deals with public issues.

Red Lady -
I would love to take the credit for all the other "anonymous" responses you have gotten, but really I gave your blog no further thought. You see, it really wasn't that important to me. But I will say this - I am rather amused by your dogged attempts to discern my identity. It is easy for you to attack and call names, but I don't see you divulging your true identity. I guess it is easier to spew your venom behind the name "Red Lady". Get off your high horse and take the chip off your shoulder while you're at it.
It was originally the Blue Lady's idea to keep our identities from everyone, since we were engaged in civil discussions. Did you get the point of the article, or did you even read it? It really doesn't matter who you are, as nobody knows you anyway. They just know of your postings and hostility toward those you don't agree with.
"your hostility toward those you don't agree with" Oh Red lady, that certainly is rich!!
