Hey Bevie, of course I will tell you! What an enormous ass pain this turned out to be!

But I'm serious that I will be reading here frequently. I just need to take some time to regroup and that space over there just doesn't feel good to me right now. Tainted. Bad. And that's too bad.

So keep blogging and I am still reading!

I'm so sorry you got attacked. It's bad enough that people ultimately destroy themselves by being creepy without making life a nuisance for others in the process.

I'd love to get that assassin in a room. Not to inflict physical violence. Something much worse. Make him listen to me preach. After just a few minutes I am sure he would be begging for the rubber hose and bamboo under the fingernails. But I wouldn't quit until he agreed to at least behave in a mannerly fashion.

Sigh. Sometimes I really do wish I could make dreams come true.

Take care, Jennifer.

she was attacked?

"she was attacked?"

Anonymous postings designed to ruin her blog and generally interrupt its flow. I call that on-line terrorism. It's cowardly and serves no useful purpose, for those who indulge themselves with it never have a point to present. It's all about disruption.

Bevie this is just my temp blogger id so I can keep commenting. Not blogging yet. And I actually don't know if I will again. Right now I just don't want to. But I do still want to read everyone's blogs. So go figure. :)

Take care.

You can't quit. Well, you can. But don't. I don't want you to quit. You post things that are so important to me. Take a break, but please come back and post again.

Please.

Did the attacker know you - is that why you don't want to start another?

I do so hope you reported their username to blogger!

He was anonymous. I don't believe she knows who it was, and I don't see how he could know her and make such rude statements.

I'm guessing it was a guy. The tone suggested someone who feels threatened by intelligent women. They might even be a teenager. The comments I saw certainly were childish.

I'm thinking that if she just shuts off Anonymous comments she will be fine. This "person" likely is only after attention and reaction. If his stupid stuff never reaches the eyes of her other readers he will lose interest in his effort and seek someone else to harrass. I don't believe any of her real readers require anonymous comments to be active.

I dearly hope she returns to blogging, if only to make my life better. For her blog does exactly that. But she affects so many in a positive way it would be horrible to lose her voice.

That's how I feel about it, anyway.

Oh, and Jennifer, in case you read these add-on comments, I would love it if you participated in the Legion of On-Line SuperHeroes. Even if only once or twice in a year.

You could create your Hero Avatar and email it to me instead of posting it. (beviejames@gmail.com)

It's up to you. Remember, story content is up to you. Your only parameters would be: a) it has to be a superhero story; b) it has to fit the 500-word maximum word lmiit; c) it must be PG-13 appropriate. I think that about covers it. They don't have to be "funny" stories. They can deal with social issues.

NOTE: They can also help one vent emotion about important things.
