Those who attack from the ambuscade of anonymity thereby make their identity a subject of interest. Ultimately, the Internet is a medium that rewards <i>transparency</i>. If "Audrey" did not have a motive for concealing her identity, she would have been transparent. "Audrey" was not her only pseudonym, nor was politics her only interest. She was living a triple life, as it were, and her two online existences were in some way incompatible with her real-world life. <br /><br />The entire point of "Audrey" was to accuse Sarah Palin of <b>concealing truth</b>, you see. Well, if I were willing to operate by the notion that turnabout is fair play, or to think that two wrongs could make a right, what I was prepared to publish would certainly have been unpleasant for "Audrey." Yet she is a mother and a wife, and the consequences for her husband and children had to be considered.<br /><br />There was a fact -- I won't mention it here, although you must be familiar with it -- that caused me to have a feeling of sympathy, and to consider whether publication would be unmercifully vindictive. <br /><br />OK, as a journalist, I love a good story, and this would have been a very "good" story from a purely journalistic standpoint. But I'm a human being, one with faults and failings that I freely confess, and it occurred to me that by mercy I would win at least one friend. So I sent the e-mail explaining myself and suggested the advisability of "Audrey's" retirement. That this suggestion has apparently been accepted means that the story has a happy ending.<br /><br />Sometimes the best stories are the ones you never get to write. If I ever meet "Audrey's" husband, I hope he'll greet me as a friend. He seems to be a remarkable character himself, and quite a good writer, actually.Robert Stacy McCainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084541621503669804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-44771044401374749862009-09-09T03:36:46.966-04:002009-09-09T03:36:46.966-04:00On another subject-but you are worthy of the kudo&...On another subject-but you are worthy of the kudo's with a break in-" Audrey" over at Palin's Deceptions has, it seem,given up the ghost since you took her to the woodshed.Not a peep out of her since that day and her fellow nutters are getting worried.I can't imagine what you emailed her husband but whatever it was it seems to have done the trick.Good for youM.

There's some quote by Orwell that's apropos - I'm certain you've heard it before. <br /><br />Anyone who would quote him to construct an idictment of the tone of the tone of political discourse carried on by others - and commit it to paper - is an epic fool, and likely not an honest one.
