And quite possibly I am saying this because currently I am five months pregnant and my emotions are running higher than normal. I love my job and I love writing for this blog, but quite frankly I am getting sick of the extremely nasty comments written from anonymous jerks about people who work here, including myself. I work with some of the nicest people I have ever met. We all have families and we all work hard, and nothing that is written here deserves the level of animosity that is spewed unabashedly from some of the commentators. If you intend to read these posts simply to bash me or the owner of this blog, then you're not getting anything out of coming to this site and you should look elsewhere for content. I moderate each and every comment because of the amount of spam that we get, so nothing that is written goes unnoticed. And no longer will I tolerate threats or insults on my posts. I have seen in recent weeks other bloggers take issue with the same problem that seems to have really shaken writers to the core, and in most cases this backlash is completely unwarranted. If you want to pick a fight, than you know where to find me. Otherwise, comment on the content. I’m only going to say this once.
