It is time for me to say a few words about this blog. I have been reading about it for a couple of days. I would have thought that it would be dead by now but It is getting a tremendous number of hits as people stop by to check it out.
I hope you all like the design.
I don't know Greg Swann we have never met or even exchanged emails. He apparently knows me and as he mentioned in a post, feels the need to silence my voice because he sees something in it that he doesn't like. To Greg I have one thing to say: get over it and get used to it. If you don't like what I say don't lurk on my blogs. Find the places where the genius's rant and rave. There isn't any Latin spoken here. If you find something in my posts to howl about you are reading too much into them. If you find something about yourself or your blog in my posts you are reading too much into them, but this post really is about you.
The podcast tells the story, the format should make it harder for bloggers to pick up tidbits, misquote them and use them for their own purposes. I just wish I could have found a way to make it funny. Rumor has it that someone wants a blog war. Go for it, I won't be participating or reading.
This blog will not be deleted, and will be used, or not used. My decision and I am protected under the first amendment. The cheeze wiz award I received was an unprovoked attack. The award it self is kind of cute but I am not finding any humor in the viscousness and hateful words that go along with it. I feel the anger and the hatred and it saddens me.

You did the right thing by replying in a podcast. It was much more personal, and shows your integrity I think.

All right Lockwood, she's spoken for! ;-) (This is heckling) I was sitting next to you, Teresa, when you designed the weenie, and laughed along with you at the thought of it. I know it was never intended to be put online. I also know you better that anyone in the entire blog-world, and know that your honesty, integrity, and ethics are beyond reproach.
To those who have commented and emailed your support, let me add my heartfelt thanks.

Yikes - I always hate it when I am late to a party. Sorry!
Jack - First to you.. We need to see a photo of ya, I need to place a face with your name. Bravo to you for standing up for your wife - I commend you!
Teresa - As always - you speak the truth and you do it with class - I am always amazed when people can do that without the truck driver talk -
Just wanted to stop by the "weenie" and give you a standing ovation!

I just got done reading a post (featured), at AR by Brian Brady... http://activerain.com/blogsview/61606/What-Evil-Lurks-In
And he still seems to think that you owe people some kind of official apology... What I find funny about this whole thing is that, even if you did create a real "weenie" site, who cares??!! Honestly. You have nothing to apologize about. The fact that it was a joke, and that you hadn't even posted anything yet when you were attacked is one of the most asinine things I've ever heard.
I honestly don't know what planet these people are from.
I am so sorry you've had to go through this. I hope that you don't take it too personally. We need more people in the RE blog category with grace, humor & integrity.
