If you want to leave a stupid, rude, or self-righteous remark, you're going to have to sign your name it to, 'k? Funny how people who write nice things usually do that anyway.

If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all!... More should abide by that.
I couldn't agree more!
Very funny, A.
OR better yet, create your own blog and rant away about other people's blogs. Ms. Cynthia's blog is fabulous fodder for a stand-up act, or a missed Seinfeld episode. May all the rude critics go find something thoughtful and meaningful to critique, or write it in their diaries.
Hear, hear! There are plenty of blogs out there where rudeness is welcome and in fact appreciated. Let the rude comments find their way there instead.
Good for you!
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!
