Here here, Pixy. I couldn't agree more. As I am responsible for bringing the trolls to Jen, I feel awful about it. The problem, of course, with supporting any side in any political debate is that there are always weirdos and trolls and irrational people who refuse to have a civilized discussion about something.

I should have predicted what my actions would have done, but I did not. And for that I am terribly sorry. I do not typically read the comments at political sites for the sole reason that they are typically filled with vitriolic words.
As anyone knows, we've always had a special brand of kindredship here at Munuvia and that has always made it a special joy blogging here. Some of the attacks made on Jen were needless and, well, just full of hate that, as you point out Pixy, is not conducive to any proper discourse.

At any rate, I apologize for my role in bringing this sort of thing into our home here. I sincerely hope that it was not what caused this. Jen has been one of my favorite bloggers from a while back - heck, she's the one who brought me here. She is a good friend now and her truly positive and humorous outlook on life will be missed. I understand that personal life must take precendent over blogging and blogging is least fun when it is stressful, but our little (but growing) community here will truly be less without JenLars. Indeed, the entire blogging community is less because of it.

2 No, you can't take responsibility for the idiots. There'd be no end to it.

5 For the record, it was more Pixy's write-up that was the catalyst for writing this... for the record.

6 Dan, you suck.

Oh wait, she's back! Never mind. What'd I tell you? Ya get all touchy-feely. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Pretty evil, Jen.
