Oh, Goody... I have cyber stalkers
So, yesterday I wrote what was originally supposed to be a PM to a few people, letting then know that I am blogging for the Detroit News. I wanted people to know I was there and (with any luck) post some non-abusive responses.
Well, for whatever reason, I actually posted that as a thread (in General Discussion) without thinking. I let it stay up for just a little while (maybe 15 minutes, maybe up to an hour, I am not sure). But then I thought better of it and deleted it because some of what I said could be seen as a slap at Henry Payne, the editor of that blog -- which was not my intention.
Despite its short history that post was cut and pasted and posted as a message on my blog. A couple people also "tweeted" excerpts to the Detroit News.
I expect people logging on to to call me an idiot. I am used to it . But this kind of thing is just weird. The News isn't even paying me, but its readers are trying to get me fired. Nice, eh?
Well, cyber-stalkers, it didn't work. Henry is a guy I disagree with on a lot of issues. But he's a real pro. He took my little mea culpa in stride.

It's a shame they weren't "I-want-to-have-sex-with-you" stalkers.
Keep your chin up. Writing in support of the public interest is a noble calling... 
feels more gd to me? 
good place for getting a cyber hug here, please carry on - sorry to interrupt, as it were 
but it kind of seemed like it was a message being broadcast to whoever and GD would have a bigger audience (also seems to be where he may have picked up the stalker to whom he was messaging)
there have been any number of posts in the lounge where you could tell the person had probably clicked the wrong link from the "Latest Threads" page, since the Lounge is right below the GD link. I would guess probably half the very few SoP alerts hosts get for the Lounge are because of this.
so that is the long-winded explanation for why I asked 
We're all cool here... 
To my many-armed death goddess...
not that I have closed a bar in a loooonnnnggg time
