		<description>I read most of those comments, and holy crap! What is wrong with some of those people? I&#039;d like to believe that most of them are little kids who just get a thrill from using dirty words, but some of them sounded like adults. It&#039;s unreal the things people think they can say and do just because of the relative anonymity offered.</description>

		<description>Wow Deb! there&#039;s so much to say here. 

First of all, thanks for linking to Work From Home Momma. I&#039;m proud to have you as a reader there.

Secondly, I&#039;m really said to see you leave About. I learned so much from you in the time you were there. In fact, I hope that they leave your posts up because I&#039;d like to go back and re-read some of it.

Thanks for all that you do. You&#039;re an inspiration for other writers.</description>

		<description>It really doesn&#039;t matter the topic - if you criticize something that other people love, tempers flare and the internet allows people the possibility to be rude without revealing a real identity.  Once upon a time, I couldn&#039;t stand football either, but my husband is a football fan and I learned the rules over time (special thanks to actress Holly Robinson Peet for writing a guide that put football into terms I could understand) and now watch games with him.  Sundays have turned into great days because I&#039;ll curl up with him on the sofa and half read/half watch while he watches his team.

It really doesn&#039;t matter the topic though.  I once reviewed a book written by a vegan who was very, very preachy.  Now I try to live by a too-each-his/her-own philosophy, but this woman went as far as stating that those who eat meat are not following God&#039;s path and that all meat eaters or dairy users are going to die from cancer.  When I gave a negative review of her book, she and her groupies went ballistic and sent out numerous emails to other authors and publishers about why my review site should be black listed because I was offering personal insights in a review.  In the end, she looked ridiculous because reviews are personal, but I learned that people can just be downright vicious when they feel attacked.</description>

		<description>Wow, Deb, I read those football post comments...sheesh. It&#039;s hilarious how anonymous people will call someone &quot;ugly&quot; as a rebuttal--that&#039;s &quot;really&quot; intelligent.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s disturbing that there are so many mean-spirited people who don&#039;t bother to self-monitor themselves out there. But I suppose it&#039;s a little comforting that they aren&#039;t very good writers. You can kind of imagine them drooling on themselves as they type.</description>

		<description>Deb,

I&#039;m going to miss your posts at About, but WOW! What an amazing opportunity for you. Congrats on your success-- you&#039;ve worked so hard and you really deserve it. And, for what it&#039;s worth, I hate football, too!</description>

		<description>How come you wrote &quot;step off your podium&quot;, yet you delete every comment you don&#039;t agree with?</description>
