Shannon,

I'm so sorry you get these sorts of hateful comments. I consider who is sending these sorts of messages and don't understand exactly how it is some people just want to indulge in being hurtful.

And I understand why, now and then, you blow off some of the steam this must create inside.

How you feel, what you write about, how you live, who you are is your own business.

I know you know this.

Meanwhile, I support your right to write.
