The part the annoys me, pardon the pun, is the feeling that I had a hand in "starting" the whole thing. I'm sure you've had that pinch in your gut. How do you deal with it? Thanks.

As much as I value your opinions and often agree with you #9, I feel you are incorrect here. She's not stretching "facts". Her experiences are real. I sent a letter to the editor of news.com voicing my displeasure for the inaccuracies of the original article. I'm posting my opinion here, stating my displeasure at your willingness to accept one man's opinion, but disbelief of one woman's experience. She's a good woman. She'd have your back in a second if you were right. I have personally met Michele and can vouch for her credibility.

I don't see the slam dunk that Michelle and Xrlq see. As far as I can understand the jury is still out on what this bill really means. http://standardmischief.com/2006/01/12/why-there-ought-to-be-a-law/ http://news.com.com/FAQ+The+new+annoy+law+explained/2100-1028_3-6025396.html?tag=st.num Thanks Standard Mischief.

It would be a "good" story, though, which is the sense of goodness I was talking about. And yes, this story did smack of "too good/bad to be true" from the beginning. At least, that was my initial gut reaction upon reading about it here.

Just because you see a story in the MSM doesn't mean you should turn your BS detector off. Think of President Dewey, co-Presidents Bush & Gore, unemployed German girls forced into prostitution, and those 12 miners who miraculously survived last week's tragedy. IMNSHO, a blogosphere that eagerly gobbles up every too-good-to-be-true MSM story hook, line and sinker is not a blogosphere worth having. #9, I think that bloggers did indeed jump the gun.

First the charge that some bloggers like myself jumped the gun. One commenter on a blog wrote ,” In any event, I agree that there has been a lot of unnecessary sound and fury over this.” Unnecessary sound and fury? How is being vigilant protecting civil rights and personal liberty unnecessary sound and fury? A major news source printed a story of how personal liberties were threatened and we noticed and responded. Mission accomplished. That is a good thing. We did not write the original news story. Exactly how have we done anything wrong or “unnecessary”? The mistake is too not respond, to ignore, and to hope for the best. There was nothing unnecessary in the response. Second annoyance. Michelle gives the impressions that hundreds of negative “less than civil guests” flooded her email inbox. She wrote it took her “almost an hour to delete them.” She gives the impression she did not read them. How did these people find her email address? It is nowhere on her website. She gives the impression that her email address came from SayUncle. I take umbrage at what she implies. That did not happen. For someone that pays such strict attention to detail is she exaggerating the number of emails she received? The comments at SayUncle were civil and her implication is exaggerated in my opinion. Watch your “facts” Michelle. I find your implications of misdeeds from SayUncle to be “unnecessary” and annoying. As you wrote Michelle on your website, “If you wish to use/quote those words, proceed at your own ignorance.” This annoys me on two levels.
