Hey Kristin, it's Karen from "the blog." I have had this whole thing on my mind quite a bit and needed some closure. While I don't feel like I can post on your blog, I hope I can comment here without getting chastised. I want you to realize the effect this has had on me. I just have to get it out to get this off my mind some.

Your blog has gone past offensive into hurtful and mean. Because you refuse to take any responsibility for your comments about my religion, some of your readers came to my blog, yes, per my request, and made, not offensive comments, but hateful. Here is an example:

"I agree with Anonymous above. Take the B-E-A-M out of your eye, lady. Alternatively, go live in some other non-free country like for instance, China. You would fit in well there. I have read Kristin's blog for more than a year. YOU disrespected her character with YOUR hate speech regarding her choices as a CHILD.

Take what you're parroting someplace else."

Not offensive, but hateful Kristin. This has really gone too far. I actually deleted the entire post because I couldn't mentally handle the attacks on me as a person and my faith. This kind of stuff really takes a toll on a person. And it adversely affects my family.

Your language has created hate towards another person. I'm sure this is not what you set out to do, but this is what it has turned into.

Just FYI. Thanks and good luck with everything you do.
