I got an email the other day regarding my blog. It wasn't very nice. I was accused of being "fake" and "a phony"...by a random stranger. And this was based solely on the fact that I do not have a real picture of myself posted on my blog...and that my real name can't possibly be R.H. Ducky. While it is true that I am not really a cartoon duck sitting in a bowl of soup, and my name is not in fact R.H. Ducky, I'm fairly certain that doesn't make anything I've written about any less true. Besides, I think I pretty much covered this little issue with my very first post. Not that I expect every visitor to my blog to read every single post I have...I'm just sayin' it's there.
At first I was upset by this email...I don't want people to think I'm a phony. But after I thought about it for a little while I was pretty annoyed by the situation. First, I'm quite positive I'm not the only person out there blogging under a name other than one on my birth certificate. WTF difference does it make? If you don't like my blog, hit that nifty little "Next Blog" button at the top of your screen and move it right along.
I welcome emails and comments, and I'm fully aware that everyone on the planet is not always going to agree with everything I say or do. That's fine...disagree with me all you want, the world would be boring if we all had the same thoughts and opinions. I just ask that you do it respectfully.
So, let's compromise...I won't call you a douchebag asshole if you refrain from calling me a fake ass whore. Deal? Deal.

whenver i get anything negative about the blog, it hits me hard at first, but then i have to sort of laugh it off. i mean, come on, what kind of loser picks fights with random people on the internet?
i completely understand the desire to remain anonymous, you have a job, youre a professional person. you have to be careful about who sees stuff you put on the internet.
tammie ~ i feel kinda ridiculous even writing about this...but i obviously have anger management problems.
and no, i wouldn't want anyone from my company browsing my blog *ahem*astroglide*ahem*.
ha ha ha ha!
i forgot all about astroglide!
That is totally RIDICULOUS!!!! How rude! I totally get why you are undercover so to speak and I understand. I agree with Tammie and I do so love your response!
EWWWWWWWW...some freako out there needs a life--- a real one, I mean. I love your blog and your right to privacy. I mean, what if this nutso had your REAL name??? That could turn scary.
Love you

Rhonda ~ thanks, i don't know why i let that email bother me in the first place. but it's still nice to hear that there are people who understand my desire to remain somewhat anonymous.
Cousin It ~ for real. there are already plenty of nutso people out there with my real name...i don't need to add anymore ;)
Kim ~ i'm sure that would have amused me...but i doubt my help is needed. i'll let karma just do it's thing.
