I just think you are a terrible, pretentious, ill-informed, arrogant, elitist writer. <BR/><BR/>I can totally understand if she wanted to delete comments that were just hit-and-run insults. No blogger should have to put up with that. Most of the comments in question, however, don't really appear to be so uncivilized as much as they just point out that she's <I>wrong</I> or has no clue what she's writing about. Let her ban away. It only further proves how shallow and bratty she is.<BR/><BR/>"I want to have a civilized blog, except when I'm calling someone else stupid or talking down to them like they are four years old or making passive-aggressive swipes at other bloggers and then lying about it later."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-19419297938918122282008-09-04T18:59:00.000-04:002008-09-04T18:59:00.000-04:00My comments are getting through.

No matter what criticism is raised her nor how, you distort or ignore it.<BR/><BR/>Take for example, my asking you to comment on the preemptive arrests of protesters at the RNC. Your response was to talk about events that occurred days later.<BR/><BR/>Or, as another example, the numerous requests to have you link to a single person attacking Bristol Palin or "smearing" Sarah Palin.<BR/><BR/>You ignore your critics be they civil or no, so why do you keep taking this high horse? It's not the incivility that appears to bother you, but the disagreement. At least, that's how your actions make it seem.<BR/><BR/>Many of us only became "trolls" because you ignored attempts to engage our ideas when they were presented without vitriol. We therefore turned to vitriol so that we'd at least get some catharsis out of it.<BR/><BR/>Face it, Megan, your blogging has deteriorated and you're spiraling further and further into partisan hackdom. That's why the trolls come. The maggots go to the rot, not the other way around."NutellaonToasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524357022370926931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-78295548913965335992008-09-04T17:58:00.000-04:002008-09-04T17:58:00.000-04:00Don't interns do research and gather materials?
