Anon! Anon!

I don't think this is my previous Anonymous stalker commenter (I miss you so, Anon…that was a wild ride), but in keeping with my own personal tradition of addressing Anonymous commenters who like to stir the pot a bit, I'll comment briefly on this one:

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Truth, Justice, and the Nutwood Way":

The Obamamites at nutty Junction calling sarah a fake.

First of all, this doesn't make much sense. The "Obamamites" (are those anything like dust mites?) at "nutty" (and quite proud of it, thank you very much) Junction, "calling sarah a fake" and...what? Is there a point here? It really doesn't make a lot of sense as a complete thought or  sentence. Anyone who reads me and reads those who read me should realize by now that we're a diverse bunch. There are plenty of folks here who aren't "Obamamites" (are those anything like...Dyn-o-miiiites?!) and who don't agree even one little bit with my political views. I value their opinions, and they manage to keep from resorting to name-calling or questioning whether I'm "nutty" or not. I appreciate them very much for that. We can all be respectful, and Nutwood is a nice, peaceful place. Let's keep it that way.

And Dear Anon, I think you kind of missed the point, because no one was originally questioning whether Palin herself is or isn't fake. They were questioning the veracity of the photograph I originally posted, and those that were questioning its authenticity came from all facets of the political spectrum. I did more research, found that the photo was not a fake, and people commented on that and on their feelings about the Governor. Yes, some readers think she's a fake--others like and support her. I wonder why you zeroed in on those commenters who don't like her?

As always, I will address Anonymous commenters who try to hide behind their anonymity and do drive-by comments. Some of my friends don't have accounts to comment here, and use the anonymous option, but I know exactly who they are. That's why I leave the option open to comment anonymously. But anyone who chooses to comment anonymously simply because they don't want to be associated with their own statements strikes me as a coward and a fool. And I will continue to call them out on it.

To all Anons out there (other than those who I know through your signatures): If you've got something to say, stand up for it. Your cowardice is obvious and pathetic, and your inability to stand behind your comments is an automatic neutralization of whatever you have to say. Grow some balls already.
