Not having a readership as great as some of the more well known blogs, people disagreeing with what I say here isn't really an issue..... in all fairness, even if they did disagree with what I said, I don't really care. That's one of the advantages of having a personality that makes the assumption that I'm always right and so if someone disagrees with me, well they must be wrong to start of with!!
However, this isn't always the same for other people.... more popular people!!! Dooce.com is a site that I've been visiting for a couple of months now. It is the random thoughts of a mother to a two year old daughter, ower of a four year old dog and wife to a charming geek (all her own words....). In her last post she talks about the dangers of posting stuff in an online environment, and how it is near impossible to do so without pissing somebody, somewhere off..... and because she is the "Good Bitch of the North" she thought she'd share some of the best hate mail and her (and Jon's) thoughts about them.... Beneath is my faviourite, with her comments.

You have really crossed the line now!!!!!!! I was shocked and very unhappy to see the cover of the book that my uncle worte on the front page of your blog. I always knew that you would mock anything that had to do with the curch, but this really hit home. My uncle worked really hard on putting this book together. A ton of time and effort went into it, and here you are mocking it. This book has helped people, and here you are mocking it.
When I see people mocking all this in someone that I love I STAND UP FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe that you have stooped so low!
[I got this email yesterday and read it aloud to Jon and GEORGE! Each time she used an exclamation point I said it out loud, “Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point.” After I was done the room just sat there silent until GEORGE! said, “Ask her if she's hot.” It may just turn out that my hatemail is the perfect place for GEORGE! to meet Mormon women.]
