You don't speak to your mom, to Ken's family, to Katie....you "cut off" some of the people over at AMAL last year when you accused them of not being supportive enough when your brother died (ironically, you praised ME for being supportive and encouraging to you at the time, which I was, until you conveniently forgot to tell Pinky that when asking her to attack Spangles and myself). And now you want to cut this friend off as well. Despite what your talkback readers are suggesting, I would attempt to save this relationship. You can't have too many friends; cutting this person off is another way of withdrawing and not having to deal with discomfort or the outside world. It's symptomatic of bigger issues. For once do the un-Laura-like thing and actually try to work on this relationship.

What I don't understand is why you keep reading this woman's blog. How do you even stay awake? It's so unbelievably banal and dull I'm surprised you don't just ignore it instead of giving her so much publicity.

I don't read all of it. In fact, I ignore most of it (I don't care about gluten-free diets or The Monkees). I simply look for the parts that interest me and skip the rest, just like I do with a majority of the posts in AGC. You're right; most of her posts are completely banal, lacking originality, derivative, and pointless. Having said that, some of her posts are interesting BECAUSE they are so infuriating. On social issues she's at the completely opposite end of the spectrum from me. If I agreed with everything she said it would be boring.
I also believe that Laura's blog is like a trainwreck that keeps occuring everyday; it's hard not to look. Additionally, she's made this personal. She's taken it to a personal level, having stolen federally protected email communications from Spangles to myself, tried to get me fired, tried to get my ISP to cancel my connection, snitched to Spanglikien's "husband" about what she was doing online....and the list goes on. I mean, how does one just walk away from that? We've tried; Laura won't stop. Her actions back in April were an abomination against her own brother, and they were the last straw as far as I was concerned.
I really haven't offered anything new here. They're mostly the same, rehashed arguments I've given before. But in regards to your question about giving her "publicity"...that doesn't bother me at all. I WANT people to read her blog, and if her site count goes up, good for her. She's also a celebrity now, of sorts, so it's perfectly legit to copy and paste some of her posts into this group for analysis.
Am I obsessed? No. But I admit to being fascinated by her. I think she's an interesting person; think about it: she claims to have smoked dope with Axl Rose in a cornfield, attends pro-marijuana rallies and then complains about the Commander-in-Chief being a druggie......was virulently anti-war even while having a brother serving in Iraq...is a feminist activist who waxes philosophically about make-up, body lotion, and bubble bath.....preaches to the world about their greed, avarice, and disinterest in the poor and hungry while wasting time and money in Las Vegas.....refuses to get a job but sits around the house all day blogging while hubby earns the money. On the other hand, I have absolutely no interest in TattooVampire or Brandy "Karleen Smith" Alexander, yet for some reason they keep on wanting to drag me into their fights and arguments. Must be embarassing for Brandy to be ranked lower than Laura Linger.

LAURA LINGER HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! You win. She admitted she is acting like crazy kristin that ex mayors wife, and hasnt been seen since. She admitted defeat. She bowed out. ITS OVER! YOU WIN!. Unless you want to post on her web site you arent going to get her attention.
