If it helps you should close the comments or get rid of the 'anonymous' option. It is sad how some people can be so defensive and out for blood when all you did was write a simple letter of how you feel.

I read your post and visited the other blog this morning--neither seems horrendously out of line to me, but your post, especially, is level-headed and fair.<br /><br />I wrote a similar letter on my blog to a well-loved shelter blog and ultimately had to close comments because their fans were out for blood, so I know what a pain it is. Just goes to show many people never really made it out of high school, they still want to suck up to the popular kids.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260896742549663086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254912446623916649.post-59256951333663768472011-10-18T11:32:25.477-07:002011-10-18T11:32:25.477-07:00I don't think you should have to take it down,...I don't think you should have to take it down, but you might consider what mental health benefits there are to not getting those updates in your inbox from people's comments. Could you turn off anonymous comments? That may make people think twice about making a nasty remark?Renee Tolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126596021669580141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254912446623916649.post-6535293894814784222011-10-18T07:30:57.086-07:002011-10-18T07:30:57.086-07:00I would take it down.

You can write whatever you want in it, it's another person's choice to read it. If they don't agree, that's their problem. <br /><br />Second, I'm a disillusioned PW fan myself, in part because of some of the things (facts, links to true information, etc.) that come from the negative blog you're linked to. Yeah, she can be really aggressively minded in her dislike but the facts are still there. <br /><br />If you're uncomfortable with the responses, you have every right to delete them. Remember, these are people coming from a blog that is crashing their image of this magical blog creature. It's like killing Santa and then need someone to take it out on. <br /><br />I've had to disconnect myself from other blogs where they make me feel bad about myself. It's okay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254912446623916649.post-90258833549317171022011-10-18T04:07:01.530-07:002011-10-18T04:07:01.530-07:00I'm with Merry.

These little snapshots in print are reflections of us... it's <i>why</i> we spend our free time, our nights (that time when Bean is kicking your spine 8 to the bar). You put an enormous amount into that post, and still it's one of the most entertaining posts I read. I would be damned if I would let some anonymous hayseed take that away.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066917835675581902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254912446623916649.post-61166154990132456032011-10-17T22:53:35.238-07:002011-10-17T22:53:35.238-07:00Taking it down might stop the mean comments, but s...Taking it down might stop the mean comments, but should you? It is your blog and your opinion, and quite frankly, many of us outdistanced the PW many many years ago, I've been canning since high school, and cooking full meals for longer than that. Maybe delete the original and repost it in a new post, would that sever the linking? Personally, I would leave it up, but I am an onery little person.Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550190348232458479noreply@blogger.com
