Ellis Island: HOW ABOUT MICHELE FROM LETTERS FROM NEW YORK CITY?

June 30, 2004

HOW ABOUT MICHELE FROM LETTERS FROM NEW YORK CITY?

So here's a nice girl on blogspot who posted a thoughtful entry on why she's decided to change her political leanings from left to right.

Her former lefty friends said some nasty things in her comments, but nicer people gave her support, so it was all good.

Then some of her former lefty friends hijacked her blog, totally destroying it and forcing her to move to a new site. She was able to save the content but not the comments.

Her current site is here.

I blogged about her controversial post and the rudeness of some of her commenters here.

I blogged about her victimization here, including a screenshot of what they did to her old site, which Blogspot has now taken down.

Can we offer this nice lady a home where marauding jackasses aren't allowed to barge right in and pee in her posies?

You know I'm a big Yay on this if she's interested.

She's spunky. And I don't mean "spunk" in the way that Harvey usually uses it either. Give her a "yay"!

Simon says she's a little shy. Is anyone willing to help her move? I'm a little too geek-impaired to be of much use in that department.

My green isn't here yet but can I still say yay? Harvey will vouch for me, and if my vote won't count he'll pay off the right people.

I'll help her move if we get her in... and you ARE a geek Harvey... and not in the good way either...

I'm rendered speechles by your kindness and support. The cynical skeptical new yorker in me wants to ask why me and a few other questions. After a bit of quiet reflection I can sense your genuine interest and your desire to help this newbie.

Thank you, I am truly floored by your generosity.

Absolutely Yay!

Mmmmm... Michele on the floor ;-)

Seriously, though, it's all about knowing how tough it is getting started in blogging, and the desire to make it easier for those that come after.
