As the result of a genetic merging of two writer's (Per Anonymous' definition) I am compelled to mention that all this discussion is a really high compliment to both Ms. Kendrick, and y'all at "Ask". <BR/><BR/>All free publicity is good publicity, after all. My parent's would chuckle gleefully if their writing caused this much scorn and derision. Well, my Dad would. <BR/><BR/>Tangentially, why do people choose to comment anonymously? Unless you are a judge or politician and it is against your oath of State to comment on something, just take off the mask.

I love that we are so irrelevant that Laurie had to spend at least a half hour, minimum, writing a comment on her blog about how irrelevant and childish and profane we are. And how, in the scheme of things, we just don't matter. And how I left her a comment that was caustic that she managed not to post because she's cowardly like that.<BR/><BR/>And how she hopes it will all just die down, but yet, she doesn't, because the link has given her so much traffic.<BR/><BR/>Why is it that I find all of this so fucking hilarious? Especially the assumption that I'm a fat 20-something.

I realized that I based that statement based on the links provided in the review to her "good stuff".<BR/><BR/>But you asked, so.....<BR/><BR/>her design flat-out sucks. However, being a "Wordpress.com" person (AKA: too cheap to pay for one) myself, I know how limited she is with design. That being said, the template that she picked has to be one of my least favorites (aside from that stupid dancing girl one and the one with the milkshake). <BR/><BR/>I don't want to scroll to the bottom. That's just a waste of space. I like ONE sidebar. <BR/><BR/>She's wordy, but so am I. I don't mind wordy when it is amusing and written in a light-hearted manner and is a "quick read". I do mind "wordy" when it is written in a "see how well I write and how many big words I know?" way. <BR/><BR/>I'm still a new enough blogger and my children are still too young for me to be spending too much time reading a single blog. I want to get in, have a quick laugh/cry/jaw-drop and get out.<BR/><BR/>As for the email forwards: yeah - they need to go. <BR/><BR/>That's just my opinion...not a writer, not a professional critic.

It was supportive and encouraging. It was much nicer than some of the skewerings I have seen on here and at least she got a single star.<BR/><BR/>But Laurie's reaction to the reiview was pathetic, IMO. If she is as wonderful as she claims to be, the occasional criticism should not bother her.
